Dehli - India - Parents Visit visa

[Bryanna]

I am planning to apply for Visitor visa for my in laws in VFS Hyderabad. I have some questions
1. should they go for Upfront medicals? is medical tests needed for parents visitor visa?

Medicals are not required for TRVs.... if required, the visa office will let you know.

2. I am on Open work permit now expiring on 17-Oct-2016. My PR application is under process. will they get multiple entry visitor visa for 10 yrs .do i need to submit my and my wifes' OWP and our AOR of PR application as supporting docs.

MEV (multiple entry visa) + whether visa validity should be up to passport validity or not.... depends on the assessment made by the visa officer.... based on the strong ties your in-laws have to their home country + whether the visa officer believes they should be granted a MEV/longer TRV validity for future visits.

3. Planning to submit my bank statement with a balance of canadian $ 20K and my payslips. anything else needs to be submitted as supporting docs?

Copies of you and your wife's passports + your immigration status + your NOA + marriage certificate + invitation letter signed by both yourself and your wife (PDF will suffice)

4. should we submit any bank statements / property documents of my in laws?

Yes, 6 months of bank statements..... no large, last minute deposits if it is not earned by them..... no money transferred/borrowed for the TRVs.

Property ownership documents.... translated into English by a certified translator + latest property tax receipts + self-assessment to show the current market value.

Notarized value will NOT work.... you must provide hard evidence.

Any other strong ties or reasons to return with evidence (whatever is applicable):
a. Employment or business
b. Monthly pension
c. Financial investments (FDs, RDs, mutual funds, shares, EPF/PPF, etc..... state which of these are not locked-in and can be available as funds for their visits) + ITRs for the last 2 years
d. Family ties
e. Previous travel history

Also, visit duration of 3-4 weeks max.... with a well-defined itinerary and expense estimates to prove they have the money for their visit


Cheers

Hi all, i have a general question..
can someone please tell me if the visitor visa expires if not used within six months?

Thanks

No, it will not expire.... one can travel to Canada anytime during the validity of the TRV

Hi,
Today I received visitor visa for my parents for only 6 months despite requesting them to provide for 10 years. One thing is strange: They have given 6 months visa with ‘Multiple’ entry instead of ‘Single’ entry. I believe they usually give 6 months visa with ‘Single’ entry only, not multiple entry.
Can someone do know the answer. This seems like an error on there part and I am planning to write a mail to them in this regards.
Regards,
Akapoor

The TRV validity + whether SEV/MEV..... are determined by the visa officer who assesses the applicant's situation.

Generally, all TRV applications are automatically considered for an MEV (not SEV).... this will explain why your parents got MEVs.

Regarding the TRV validity, there's nothing you can do about it.... it was based on the visa officer's assessment. In some cases, TRVs are granted up to the passport validity and not for a flat 10-years

It's possible (and it has happened a number of times) that the processing time for one application can take longer than the other ones.

Your parents had applied pretty recently. One positive: Your mom's application was processed earlier than IRCC's estimated 25 days.

You'll have to wait for a decision on your dad's app. He will most probably also be approved,

You shouldn't be getting scared
