visitor visa for parents in canada

[shibaak]

Getting a trv for your mother will be solely based on her ability to finance the trip even if you plan on paying for the trip. Her ties to her home country and travel history will also factor into the decision. A supervisa would be more based on your finances.

you mean if I say I will pay for her expenses, they will reject her visa?!!!

The greater the financial dependence on the Canadian host, the lesser the chances of a TRV approval. That's because it means the visitor has a weak economic situation in his/her home country and is likely to overstay his/her visit (or in some cases, maybe even work illegally)

Hello Friends,

I landed in Canada last month, and I want to apply for my parent's visa.
I have few questions and doubts:
1) I started working last month so I don't have 3 months pay slips, which is must needed for visa invitation, so would there any chances, I can apply for my parent's visa?
2) If I ask my relative here to send them the invite, what should be filled in the following questions:
- Do you have a family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and is 18 years or older?
Would that be an issue, if my parents' profile says that their daughter is in Canada but the invite they got and place they live after reaching here would be of my relative?

Please suggest and help.
Thank you!!

Hi All,

I want to apply for visitor visa for my parents. I am a PR and have got a job. I am meeting LICO(more than that infact) as specified on the website for 2 people. But now, when I am applying for their visa, I have few queries. Kindly help. They are as below -

1) I want to apply for both of my parents as a single application but while filling questionnaire - it is asking me to fill for only one person. Does it mean, I will have to fill for both of my parents individually?

If it is so, then I have another query. My mom is working as a tution teacher and has her last 2 years' income tax returns with her, though her income had been non taxable, but she filed her income tax returns. And my father also can show his income tax returns. My query in this case is - I want to show that although she has earned her own income but in case, if required, my father will be paying for her expenses.

I want to apply for both of them together and want to show the visa officer that they together want to come to visit me for a month and then they will go back and in between for finances - I will be showing bank statement of last 4 months of both of my parents.

Can some one please help me how to present this case as one file before visa officer?

2) While choosing the time line for visit - if I choose temporarily - for less than 6 months - as an option then will they stamp multiple entry 10 years' visa on their passport?

3) Also, I will be showing INR 4-5 L for 2 people for a month's stay in their account(2 different accounts for both). Will this be ok if I will be showing:

- my employment letter
- my 2 paystubs
- my bank statements
- gold assessed by jeweller
- their bank statements showing amount between 4 to 5L at a total
- property assessment under the name of my father (by CA)
- property assessment under the name of my mother (by CA)

4) For showing ties back to India - Will it be ok, if they will be showing the same properties they have against their name, their son is also in India who is preparing for exams and my father will be showing that he has his business and my mother is a tution teacher. And my brother is not visiting me in Canada with them.

So, they have strong reason to go back because they have their properties, their businesses and a child there back home. So, they do not have any intention of staying in Canada with me.


Kindly suggest for these points.

HI,

2. For rented property (if it's the case): Rent agreement + 2-3 months' rent receipts + bank statement confirming rent payments
no rented property

1. My dad is not working. He's hearing impaired disability. But he have decent rental income from his property. But I'm confused what to write in EMPLOYMENT SECTION in IMM_5257e form.
1.a) From date?
1.b) To date? Blank?
1.c) Current Activity?
1.d) Company?

2. I have other question related to this rental income, he don't give any receipt to tenant except a small piece of paper which is thrown to bin after used every month. He have rent agreement and he can show the proof in bank. Is there any issue without receipt?

3. I have one other question which is not related to rental income. Since he's hearing handicapped, he only knows Indian Hand Sign Language.
The questions are in the same form IMM_5257e
3.a) Native Language: There's no Indian Hand Sign Language except "Sign Language French" option. So I should opt "Others", right?
3.b) Are you able to communicate in English and/or French? He only uses hand sign language. But he knows how to write in English. Should I click "English" or "neither"?

You should wait until you have established yourself in Canada before inviting them. They will also need to wait until they have built up their savings.

IMO, your parents must NOT apply for some months until after you have landed as a PR, settled in and you can support their visit with accommodation and some amount of financial support.

In the current scenario, their visas are likely to be refused because it would seem like they are moving to Canada long-term to stay with you

Thank you for showing the right direction.

I need some guidance. I am trying to apply for a visitor visa for my mother INLAW. I'm a Canadian Citizen, my wife is a PR (only I'm working and as a family meet/exceed the minimum income). But My question is how can I apply FOR her, ONLINE? Every website with Immigration Canada refers to the first person (who is Applying) but does not make any reference to who (whom) I am applying for? I have looked but cannot find an Application process I can do ON BEHALF of my Mother in law (as she doesn't speak English)

We do not need a Super Parent Visa because she just wants to come and visit us and our child for a month or so. She has her own business in her country.

Any info would be great.

You can prepare her paper application. She can print if off + submit it in person at the nearest VFS office in the country where she resides. This might be a good idea if she needs to give biometrics.

The other option is to apply online as her authorized representative. She would need to sign the IMM 5476 (Use of representative form). You would need to create a new GCKey account for this. She would still need to visit a VFS office if she is required to give her biometrics

Thanks Bryanna -

The country where is living (Peru) I don't think needs Biometrics. So, the latter option where I can apply as her representative - does that mean when I create a new GCkey, do I create it in her name? Is the IMM 5476 Form accepted if she emails me a copy? or do I need to get the original from her? Sorry for the basic questions.

 

[Bryanna]

That's right. Peru will be on the biometrics list from December 31.

So, the latter option where I can apply as her representative - does that mean when I create a new GCkey, do I create it in her name?

Yes to both questions.

Is the IMM 5476 Form accepted if she emails me a copy? or do I need to get the original from her?

Signed, scanned, emailed to you is acceptable
