URGENT!! Source of funds for mother's TRV

[vikramChahal]

Hi,
I am a PR and working here from last one year. My mother is planning to visit Canada to meet us for 20 days in this summer. She is homemaker, holds 24000 CAD in fixed deposit (which can be liquidated immediately) and hold a property in India. I will submit banker confirmation letter to prove that FD's can be encashed immediately. I ll also add CA evaluation report for the said property to show strong ties to India. My father and younger brother (27 unmarried) live at same address, so I ll also use it as a reason to travel back after visa expiry. I have a permanent job (100K salary) and good saving here which I ll also mention in letter of invitation.

My concern is for proof of funds. Her FD's are 2-3 years old and has been mostly the small savings which were converted to FD's. We have no proof for source of income for these deposits. I am thinking about mentioning it in LOE that these has been savings from my father's early days of work (back in 2005). My father is retired now and does not hold any job.
I cannot show her bank statement as I have been depositing around 400 CAD pm for day to day expense and I think it ll affect the justification for tie to India.
Do you think it could affect her application? Any other pointer for making her case strong.

Thanks,
Vikram

Hi, @canuck78 @steaky @scylla , apologies for tagging but I would really appreciate some advice here.

What I did instead was I applied for Super Visa instead of visitor visa for a month long stay. I only showed my NOA 2020, Bank statements, payslips and employment letter. I did not show anything else and it worked, mom got visa without showing any properties or bank balances. I really didn't want to take this hassle of proving source of funds from mom's end as I also did deposit money in her account.

Officers are lenient on parent's source of funds if you apply via Supervisa.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I have hardly 2 month left for the planned travel. Does super visa takes longer processing time than visitor visa?

It varies per country. It took 14 business days for me after reapplication.

Hi there,

Update:
I applied for my mother's visitor visa for 21 days and showed 15000 CAD as fixed deposits. I attached banker letter saying funds could be liquidated whenever required. I also mentioned in invitation letter that I would use my own fund as backup if there is any issue in liquidating her FD's. She got the approval in 2 weeks and the whole process including stamping took 28 days. I applied on new portal. Thanks for all the inputs.

My friend also applied for his parents and showed his funds as POF. His parents got the visa without showing any money in their account based on his funds. So, I think it's not mandatory to have fund on applicant's name as long as someone is ready to sponsor you and you have enough ties with your home country.
