    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    The article says: "IRCC said those interested in sponsoring their parents and / or grandparents in the 2019 will have to complete an Interest to Sponsor form online at the beginning of the year."

    If denied multi-entry, can they issue single-entry?

    My father wants to apply for a multi-entry TRV, and I'm curious, if they decide they're not giving him a multi-entry, can they still give him a single-entry? Or is it all or nothing?

    Debt in Notice of Assessment

    To invite my father to visit, I need to submit the recent Notice of Assessment as a proof of income. The problem is, they recalculated it, and I owe $500. In the consulate, do they care if I'm square with the CRA, or do they only want to see the officially indicated income? I will sure pay the...

    TRV: things to say or not to say in invitation letter?

    Because the officers look at everyone as a potential immigrant anyway, so I thought why pretend that "no, my father is never going to move to Canada, even despite his only son lives there, how did you get this idea, officer?"
