Visitor visa for parents

[kands]

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen. I'm planning to apply visitor visa for my parents. Now we have new portal for applying visitor visa. Do I need to obtain any authorization letter from IRCC or PHAC to apply for visitor visa ?

Hello, Can I apply for my parents visitor visa using my IRCC account or I need to create a separate account for them? I am doing all the paperwork and was wondering if I can submit their application from my IRCC account. Please, if someone can respond that would be very much appreciated.

They need their own account.

Why were they refused? They need to address reasons for refusal if they want to reapply. Was one reason funds? If so do you meet LICO to apply for supervisa. They would need passed medicals and one year of paid health insurance.

No idea, I just applied ATIP. Yes I can apply super visa. But it will take time I guess

So the letter didn't offer any reasons? Usually there are some reasons like funds, no travel history, no ties to country etc.

It is a general letter. It says not enough funds. No ties everything

So those are two reasons:
- How much in funds/bank accounts/liquid funds did the show? How long was the visit? Your funds/income for a TRV do not need to be considered.
- What are their ties to home country? Job with approved leave, business, children under 22, investment properties.
