Hi ,

Myself and my 1 year old son will be doing our landing next month as our PR has been approved. However, I want my mother to travel along with me as she will take my son back to our home country once he gets his PR Card. I would like to get a job and settle in before I permanently move my son to Canada as it would be difficult for me to take care of him while juggling too many things at a time.

Now, Im in the process of applying TRV for my mum. What category should I select? Visit Family or Tourism or Other?

Would visit family be appropriate when she is travelling along with me? Also, the family member form clearly asks the no.of children my mum has and asks whether they accompany or not, so obviously cic is going to know that Im travelling with her. Also, Tourism would be inappropriate isnt it? Is it better to choose "other" in this scenario??

To prove that my mother would return after her visit, I will attach documents of property in her name, show family ties as my dad and 2 siblings ( 1 minor) are living in home country.

For financial stability, I will get a letter from my dad offering to sponsor her visit. Show his 6 months bank statements and as he runs his own business attach proofs for the same.

For POF, I will show $4000 CAD tranferred from my dads account to my moms account and submit her bank statements.

My mother has previously visited me whilst I was in UK and returned to Home Country if that information will be of any use.

Any suggestions or previous experience in this matter would be of great help.


Thanks in Advance!!!

This doesn't really make any sense. She could travel with you but be in a business trip... so show would write down "business".
