Sponsoring mom

[selva]

Hi,

I am a PR holder living in Canada for more than 4 years now. I would like to sponsor my mom from srilanka. I was wondering if i can ask her to come to canada on a visitors visa and then to apply for internal sponsor. that is, can i file the sponsor here and ask her to continue the stay thereafter? I am single, have a permanant job, house to accomodate and my mom is living alone and she is over 60 years old.

Basically my question is "what would be my best choice so that i can sponsor her soon" ?
- can she submit for visitor's visa while her sponsor is being processed?


thanks

Hi,

She can apply for a visit visa even if her sponsorship application is in proces.

For the faster processing option, check the estimated times to process the cases from inside and outside canada at www.cic.gc.ca

Note there is no in-canada sponsorship for parents, she would have to be sponsored under H.& C.  It is quite unlikely that she would be allowed to remain in Canada as a visitor for the 4-5 years that the application would take.
