Supervisa mother in law

[will0624]

Hello I sponsored my wife from Colombia, she landed on January 2014 she had previously lived in Canada with her parents but they were denied their refugee claim, they were given the plane tickets back to Colombia, when I sponsored her we had to pay for the ticket the Canadian government had paid for their return to Colombia. Now we are interested in applying for a super visa for her mom so she can come visit and meet our kids, my question is will she still be able to apply for a super visa after she had been deported from Canada, she is willing to pay for the tickets she was given and any pardon involved. Also how long does it take to get a visa and who should apply my mother in law or my wife?


Thank you

Yes - your mother in law can certainly apply. However whether she will be approved is much more difficult to guess given the refugee claim and the deportation. As part of the super visa application process, your mother in law will also have to apply for an ARC (Authorization to Return to Canada) and also repay the cost of the flight that was used to remove her from Canada.

To be approved, your mother in law will have to be able to show very strong times to Colombia to convince CIC that she has no plans on remaining in Canada long term.

How long it takes for most applications is irrelevant for you. You should expect your mother in law's application will take many months to process due to the ARC.

Thanks for the fast reply, I forgot to include in the last post about my wife's sister she is 9 years old and she was born in the United States she also lived in Canada with my wife and her parents. My question is will she have to apply for the arc even if she's a minor? And also would you recommend applying online or applying by mail?

If she was deported - she will need an ARC. It doesn't matter how old she is. It doesn't really matter if you apply by mail or online.

hello scylia thank you for your last reply, right now my wife is pregnant with our third we would like my mother in law to come so she can watch my wife after the birth as she is having surgery. Would you say that is a good enough reason to be approved for the arc or what is cic looking for. my mother in law has several properties and gets good income form her properties, any advice is appreciated

I would avoid giving the pregnancy as a reason for your mother in law's visit. CIC may think she is coming to take care of the child once the child is born and may see this as working illegally.

ok thank you, sp just keep it to coming visit daughter and grand kids, another question would super visa be the best option for her or is there another visa she could apply for. if she applies for the super visa does she need to apply for the arc before or wait until they approve and they ask for the arc? thank you for your help
