Hello wonderful people,
I am planning to apply for visitor visa for my parents.
My father is a framer and my mother is unemployed(housewife).

So My question is in the application they ask "How much money do have for your stay in Canada?"
They have around $5k in their joint account and I have around $13k in my account. And I will be sponsoring their whole trip.

What should I put in the answer?

Thanks,

Applied Visitor Visa - for my wife's sister, her husband, and their two kids under age of 10

From India:
Applied May 15th
Biometric IL: May 16th
Biometrics: May 23rd
Eligibility review started: May 30th (no email update)
No update ever since..

When can we expect a final decision?

The husband had applied for TRV in 2018, via an agent, we just know the date and rejection.
We identified it and mentioned in the application to be truthful, and mentioned the reason. Also mentioned that agent was a fraud, as we never got a file, or anything, and we aren't aware of what info they have put in last time, but information entered today is truthful.

Showed both husband wife have jobs there, showed employer letters, leave application approvals, kids' school admissions, and kids school letters confirming holidays, funds, etc. Husband has a Schengen Visa and his travel history for work to Germany, Spain, Thailand (all multiple times). Others have no travel history.

When can we expect a final decision? avg time for applicants inside India is 5-6 months now. We do see a lot of quicker ones too. But it is all random.

Also mentioned that agent was a fraud, as we never got a file, or anything, and we aren't aware of what info they have put in last time, but information entered today is truthful. As long as you declared the refusal while submitting the application, it is fine.

Showed both husband wife have jobs there, showed employer letters, leave application approvals, kids' school admissions, and kids school letters confirming holidays, funds, etc. Husband has a Schengen Visa and his travel history for work to Germany, Spain, Thailand (all multiple times).

You just have to wait this one out as there is nothing else to show. So long as you justified the purpose of visit and showed funds to support themselves for the duration of stay and have good home ties, it should come through. Good Luck
