Parents Visitor Visa

[nat7912]

Hello,

I am a Permanent esident, very close to getting my Canadian citizenship ( just need to swear the oath).
I would like to bring my parents to Canada for short periods of time **2 weeks- 2 months** at a time.
I read that the visitor visa would be my best option. However, both my parents are unemployed at the moment, they do own assets where they live, BUT it would be me who would pay for their tickets and their stay here.

Will this affect the visa approval? When there is financial proof will I be able to say in a document that I will be paying for all? what do you recommend so I increase my chances of their visas getting approved?

A TRV would be dependent on their savings not yours. They will also have to strong ties to their home country like jobs, property, etc. Have they travelled to other countries similar to Canada like the UK, Australia, US? They may get refused for a TRV and then you’d have to consider getting a supervisa. If you indicate that your parents want to visit for under 6 months they will be considered for a TRV.
