Hi,
I am married, me and my husband has PR, so i applied supevisa for my parents. My mother's visa got approved but my father visa got rejected statiing that hus ties in canada are more stronger than India.
My father is govt contractor but last year he didn't worked. I want to reapply his visa and now he has new work order, can somebody suggest which paper should i add more to reapply.
Is adding affidavit from my grandfather that he is old and need care from my dad is good ?
I am thinking of adding work order, letter from his employer, affidavit from my grandfather. Any other document should i add. Please suggest.

Why did your parents not apply at the same time? Your mother likely got approved because your father was a tie to India. A letter from your grandfather saying your father cares for him is counterintuitive since he is asking to be able to visit Canada for a long period of time. If he cares for your grandfather he shouldn’t be able to leave India or leave for more than a short period of time if he can make alternative care arrangements. Securing employment again means very little until he has worked for some time especially given he has not worked in the past year and likely considered retired. If he could find work so easily why wouldn’t he have secured work in the past year if he was looking for work versus trying to secure work for his supervisa. I would order GCMS notes before you reapply so you can address all reasons for refusal but like all visitors a visa or entry into Canada is not guaranteed.

When did you get PR ?
If it was very recently , that doesn’t bode well to have both parents coming for a long period of time
YOU immigrated, your parents didn’t

Hi @canuck78, thanks for replying. Both of my parents applied at the same time. Also, my father got his recent work contract in early February this year(I am not sure if thats long enough) extending to late next year. He was not retired and was actively looking for work. It took him some time to finalize this contract. Also, I was thinking of applying for visitor visa but was advised against it. so I applied for Supervisa. I do agree about your point about my grandfather's care arrangements. My father is not the primary and the only caregiver/caretaker but that responsibility of his is shared among his other brother.

But I am not sure how I can re-apply for his supervisa and with what additional documents. I don't want to say that he's retired after applying previously with a different employment status of him. I know it won't sound much convincing to the officer now but my father actually can't stay for long in Canada due to his work commitments and him supervising his projects. I can also add secondary documentations, like to show his assets in India ( including property documents which I didn't add previously ), and other documentation (including work contracts) for his ties to India. I am also thinking of adding ITRs, but they won't be of much help as now. But I still believe his work would be the strongest one of all to show is ties.

Anyways, any suggestions to what I should add to his file would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @Copingwithlife, thanks for replying. I got my PR in May, 2024. Is it too early for a supervisa? Also, they would not be here for long. The maxium duration away possible for them is 2 months( 3 would be maximum ) due to my father's work commitments.

Would you have an idea of what additional documentation that I can add to his file? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

2-3 months would be very long if you are still working. That essentially would negate any tie to your home country due to employment.

Order GCMS notes and then address all concerns listed in addition to other proof like property ownership, proof of employment, etc. You have a much better chance of approval if the GCMS notes highlight the major concerns. Being a government contractor may also be an issue depending on the industry, seniority, etc.
