Hi guys, I am a new member to this group. I have the following questions:
1) To show ties to the home country for parents, can they show their investments in stock and fixed assets like house and land, rental income, pension income? Or do they need bank statements showing amount in savings or chequing account as well. They do not have much savings in bank account and have invested most of their savings in stocks. Please advise.
2) Question in the application "How much money do you have for your stay in Canada? (In Canadian dollars - CAD) (required)"
My brother who lives in Canada is planning to take care of all of my parents' expenses (i.e. provide food, accommodation, travel medical insurance, transportation expenses including flight ticket costs). Should I include my brother's savings in the bank account to answer this question or should I include proof of funds that my parents have? Also, does it look bad in the application if my brother is covering all of their expenses (they will appear fully financially dependent on him)? Do you recommend that my parents mention that they will set aside a certain $ amount for their stay? If yes, what is the $ amount per month that will seem appropriate for this question?
3) If their supervisa is granted, they intend on staying here for 5 months. Should I include only 5 months or should I include 7 months in the application? I am worried that if I mention in the application that their stay duration is shorter than 6 months, then a TRV may be granted instead of a supervisa.
4) Should my parents do their medical examination before submitting their Supervisa application or afterwards? Does submitting early expedite their processing timeline in any way?
Sorry for a lot of questions but this is my first time applying and I am quite nervous. I want to make sure that I cover all details.
Thanks in advance.
