Permanent Resident To Move To Canada With Non-PR Parents

Regardless of where the income is coming from, it's a minimum 4-5 year wait to satisfy the 3 years income requirement, wait for final tax returns, and enter the lottery. If not chosen in the lottery the wait can be much longer, maybe never being selected to apply.

Regular visitor visa is your only option. If it's accepted, they can come visit you in Canada and try to extend their visitor status as it comes due. Once you get a job meeting LICO, you can apply for supervisa for them for extended stays. As mentioned they'll require emergency medical insurance, and costs for this will vary depending on their age and health. It will probably be at least a couple thousand per year for each of them.

If their TRV is denied, they must stay in home country while you move to Canada. If this is not acceptable to you, then you will really need to re-asses your priorities here - establishing life as PR in Canada or caring for your parents in home country.

Agree with Rob - Apply for visitors visa for your parents, pray that they get it, then travel together, and then apply for super visa in Canada.

I am in a similar situation, would be moving this June as PR and want to take my mother too as cannot leave her alone.
She is having a Visitor visa for Canada. The question which i have is for how long can a visitor visa be extended in one go?

Don't forget that the visa just permits you travel. It makes no promises about how long you can stay. She might only be allowed to stay for a couple of weeks, and then any extension might also be similar in length. Basically, there are no guarantees and it's a case by case assessment.

Ok. On extension there can be a restriction depending upon case. However, can she have restrictions on staying there for the entire visa period (upto six months) assuming her case to be a normal one?
Or is it that accompanying a PR can put doubts in mind of the immigration officer at the airport.
She has been to Canada earlier too and returned within a month or so.

That's really impossible to answer. How she presents herself at the border/airport will make a huge difference in what CBSA do. If they believe that she is there "to stay" they are more likely to only grant a short time. Having family in Canada will also impact the decision making process, especially if she appears to be "moving" to Canada with you.

Ok.
Thanks.
