Do include a detailed day-by-day visit itinerary with expense estimates.



1. Property: Property ownership documents + property tax receipts + valuation

2. Any financial investments?

3. Do your sisters live in the same city as your parents? Grandparents?

4. As your sisters are married, they are not family ties to return to from a visa perspective. Nonetheless, do include a 'Family ties to Pakistan' explanation with sub-sections for 'Immediate family' mentioning your sisters, spouses and their children (Name, address, DOB, nationality, relationship).... and other section for 'Extended family' mentioning your parents' siblings, cousins, etc (no details are required). This would prove they have more family in Pakistan than in Canada.

5. Do your parents have any compelling reasons to return to Pakistan? Any family events?



Don't go by the refusal reasons stated.

Your mom can include a Travel History explanation: Visa details + entry/exit dates + purpose of each visit + color scan the US visa and US entry stamp.

Is her US visa still valid? If yes, does she intend to visit the US as well?



Also:
1. Copy of your passport

2. Copy of your marriage certificate



If you meet LICO, you may want to consider applying for their super visas.



But applying now implies they don't mind visiting in the brutal winter, right? Maybe they should apply a few months later for a summer visit so that this point will seem convincing




1. Who owns the property?

2. Does your mom have any finances of her own?

3. Compelling reasons to return to Pakistan?

4. IMO, your mom possibly has a stronger application because of her US visa/US visits. You may want to consider applying for your dad first.... and after he is approved then apply for your mom

5. Do prepare individual cover letters and reference evidence

Hi everyone,

I wanted a suggestion and had some confusion regarding getting a visitor visa for my parents. They are Pakistani national and residing in the Middle east from long time. They have only travelled to Saudi and Pakistan back and forth multiple times but not any other country. I became a permanent resident in 2016 but then I travelled back after having my PR Card.
In 2018 august , I made a final move to Canada , studied in university and now almost graduated and started working full-time. This time I have filed the taxes for the first time for year 2018.

Having said that, my parents wish to visit me in Canada, but before applying I am a bit worried as lot of Pakistani citizens get rejected for a visitor's visa. However, they would be applying from Middle east itself. My dad is a full-time employee and has been there for more than 20 years and he's on job. My mother is a housewife.

Firstly, please suggest me if first my mother should apply alone OR they should apply together ? Someone told me that , if both the parents apply together then the probability of rejection increases , please let me know if there is any truth in this , as per your experience.

Secondly, I am single and not married. Therefore, is it must for me to provide an invitation letter to them ? If so, then what should I mention ? Also, please do guide like what should be included in an application for the chances of acceptance to be increased.

Thirdly , when I applied for the PR application , my dad's surname was something else ... He added a new surname to his passport later on. In the record, CIC has my dad's old name ( which I provided while applying ; as by then his name was not changed ). However, now on his new passport his surname has been changed. Will that be an issue while applying for their visitor's visa ?

Please advice..
