Questions regarding Super Visa for mother in Law (Single Parent)

[rakeshjain]

Hi All!

Background:
My mother in law's visitor visa was refused last year in Dec 2022. The reason that was given is : " I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay. I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada based on the following:
a) Inconsistent Purpose
b) Host Income

My father in law has passed away 1 year ago, and the house is not in my Mother in law's name. The house is an ancestral one and belongs to my father in law's, father and was never transferred in his name. Also, mother in law has only around ~$2000 CAD in her account savings account ( Converted from local Indian Currency). The fixed deposit is still in her husband's name and not in her name, which is around ~ $25000 CAD ( Converted from local Indian Currency). My Bother in law takes care of my mother in law in India, and financially they are doing great.

Now I want to apply for Super Visa for my Mother in Law. I am a Canadian Citizen and wife is a PR. We clearly meet the eligibility for the Super Visa as per LICO. My Wife's yearly income is ~$45000 and my yearly income is ~$169000, based on the Notice of assessment. I am working with few brokers to get Super Visa Insurance. I do have few questions:

a) Can I apply for my mother in law or should my wife apply?
b) Since my Mother in law does not have much funds in her account, will it reflect negatively in the Super Visa Application?
c) How can we convince the visa officer that my mother in law will go back to India? In reality she will go back, as she has her family there.
d) What are the elements of a strong case for a Super Visa?
e) If a Super Visa is rejected, how soon we must wait before we re apply?
f) The Application states why was the application was refused, so should we say it was rejected because of a) Inconsistent Purpose and b) Host Income?

I really appreciate the time spent in this regards. Thank You for reading.

a)Your wife should be the applicant for her mother. But you can also sign on the Invitation letter and declare you'll be supporting her as well. Get this notarized.
b)If you and your wife are supporting her stay when she is in Canada it should be okay.
c)This is the part where I am unable to give you a proper answer because she does not have a property or fixed deposits under her name. You may have to provide reasons like your mother in law live with her son and his kids.. and that both of you cannot be away from each other for long, the property under her husband's name is still in the process of getting transferred to her name and she needs to be present there from time to time, her memories of her husband are still there, prayers and death anniversary services to be conducted every year, her siblings are in India. Mention that she is a member of some senior women's group and has strong friends circle with events taking place there. If you think its appropriate state that she may not be able to bear the cold weather for long and stay indoors. You also have to mention that she is coming here for a certain reason or occasion (child's birthday or wedding-must have an invitation letter). Having 2 or 3 occasions over a span of 8 to 10 months would be nice to show if you're applying for the Supervisa.
d)Funds/Ties to India/Itinerary (plans where to visit-other provinces, relatives in canada, sightseeing)
e) There is no waiting time unless mentioned in the rejection letter. You can do so anytime. Focus on the Ties in India.
f) Yes, mention both.

If you would like to get in touch or discuss more info feel free to reach out. I can also guide with Visitor or Super Visa Insurance as I work in this area too.

On behalf of a friend: Hi, I want to co-sign with my wife for my mother-in-law's super visa application. Both of us are Bangladesh-born Canadian citizens. My wife is a full-time student. My employment income is well eligible to apply for my MIL. Here are my questions,

1. During the application process, in the "Invitation section", it asks "Has someone else also invited you? Should I be also included in this section? Or, should I just put my wife's information since she is the one who can sponsor her mother and I can only co-sign? I'll be the cosigner of the invitation letter.
2. My in-laws will show savings in her Bangladeshi bank account equivalent to $16000 Canadian. She is planning to stay for 7 months. Should we also show some savings? Or, my LOE, paystubs, T4 and NOA should be good enough? My savings are less than 5k.
3. Does my wife also need to provide her most recent NOA? Her NOA won't have much except the Child Tax benefit.
4. Is it necessary for my in-law to show an affidavit or CA evaluation of her assets? Does it matter to prove a home country tie? Or, if we include her emotional ties to her home country, will it be good enough? She has her mother and daughter living with her in Bangladesh. My in-law still takes care of her mother. She also takes care of her properties.

Thank you.
