Hello everyone,
Greetings to all the members, on this forum.
My wife, our one year old and I arrived in Canada three weeks ago, after my wife secured a job here and got a closed work permit. Currently, I have an open work permit. Both our work permit expires on May 2018.
We are trying to bring mother to stay with us for around a month, so that it would make it easy for us to settle at the new place, find a rental apartment/house to stay, find a toddler nursery or a full time baby sitter for our child, before I can start job.
My mother is employed in a bank since last 30 years, drawing reasonable salary, and has sufficient funds in her bank account. Her bank will grant her a leave sanction letter, stating her travel dates. She has also has some strong travel history, traveled to the United States last year, to Europe, to the Middle East, and few other Asian countries. She will be bearing all the travel and insurance expenses, except for lodging and food once she arrives in Canada.
She has adequate funds to meet her expenses for travel, strong ties to home country (return to job) and has travel history.
After going through the forum here, it was understood that my mother could apply for TRV, either to visit family or for tourism purposes.
Our concern here is:
Since we recently landed here, we do not have any documents from Canada, like salary slips, tax slips, bank history nor a Canadian photo id, which could be shown along submit of letter of invitation to my mother. We could show around 10000 CAD by end of this month, once my wife gets her first salary. We also have adequate proof of funds back in the bank accounts in our home country. We did not carry much amount with us during our travel to Canada.
1) Can we apply for mother’s TRV, considering that we landed in Canada only recently, and that too we are on work permit?
2) If yes, is it recommended that my mother apply for TRV stating an intention visit friends and family, when we clearly do not have a long term history of staying in Canada, nor any proof to submit?
3) The other option of TRV stating tourism purpose would require providing proof of hotel accommodation and itinerary. Is it possible to apply for tourist visa showing that mother will be staying with us? Is it recommended to apply for tourist visa, then visit and stay with us?
4) If not, is there a better solution to bring my mother for a month soon?
We really don’t want to get a visa reject, hence approaching it carefully and trying to take into account all the aspects, and plan accordingly.
