principal applicant death during visa process

[walkerguy1]

 I am a Canadian citizen and have sponsored my parents they got the immigrant visa. their landing date is 31 december 2009. last week my father died. I am wondering is it possible to bring my mother on same immigrant visa issued to her on her passport. or I have to go through some paper formalities. if anybody  know the answer please help

I am so sorry to hear about your father.

Yes, I believe that your mother can still immigrate but you will need to inform the visa office of your father's passing.

Best of luck to you.

It's still ok for your mother to land.  Let the embassy know what's happened.  One of the most senior members just answered this question a few days ago.  Search for PMM and you will see it.
