Visit visa for mother, I am a newly arrived foreign worker(Intra company transf

[apple123_4567]

I recently (Feb 2017) arrived on work permit , WP valid till Jan 2018

I wish to have my mother travel to canada as visitor. She is single(widow), has good financial health in India, sufficient FDs, bank balance , is a retiree from govt job so she gets monthly pension and family pension, owns 2 properties. She has some travel history ( to Dubai for a week in 2009, to UK for 2 months as visitor in 2007, to US as 4 months as visitor in 2006).

I plan to send an invitation letter for a visit of 3-4 weeks, as soon as I get 1st salary credited in canadian bank account.

Is this strong enough case for her or a high risk case for visitor visa approval ?
If not, what can I do to make the case stronger?

Your thoughts and inputs are appreciated. Thanks..

1. Does your mom live with any other family members?

2. Does she file tax returns? If yes, do her investments and bank balance match her tax returns?

3. Unfortunately, none of the travel history would count in her case (Dubai: Not considered as travel history + US (more than 10 years ago) + UK (borderline travel history)

4. Your mom must be able to prove that she can afford the visit (airfare, expenses, etc) without borrowing from anyone. Unofficially: CAD 1000 per week of visit + airfare

5. Does she earn rental income from any of the properties?

6. Are the FDs locked-in, or can be liquidated if required? Any other financial investments?

1: She used to live with me when I was in India. Though I have a sister in India (her daughter)
2: yes. based on FD interest earned and pension received
3:
4: She can show funds in the form of term deposits and savings account to be ~ 30K CAD
5: Rental - Yes, but not much and no documentary proof
6: FDs can be liquidated as and when required

Based on above , i think financially independence can be proved. not sure about intent to come back , since she is alone(widow). But then she gets monthly pension from government. Is that a strong enough reason to show that she will come back ?

Yes, her financial ability is good. She must include:
1. Copies of the FDs + FD interest certificates + letter(s) from the banks stating the FDs are not mortgaged/no loan has been taken against them.

2. 6 months' bank statements + 2 years ITRs + proofs of pension deposits


For her properties, include:
Copies of the Sale Agreements + recent property tax receipts + valuation as per the current market rates (either self-valuation or by a CA, backed by reality report excerpts)


Is your mom a member of the Managing Committee of the Society where she lives?
Does your sister live with your mom?
Does your mom have to return to renew her pension?
Can she show some must-return-by-date reason along with evidence?
Can your mom get a rent agreement made for the property she has rented out + issue 2-3 months' rent receipts + 2-3 months' rent paid into her bank account (before she applies)?
