It's better to withdraw your application and apply later after 2 - 3 months...
 
Hi Guys,

I just have a question regarding TRV for my parents, previously in 2018 when I had a TRV I applied for my parents (Syrian father and Jordanian Mother)to join me during my vacation in Canada but it was refused due to purpose of visit and leaving Canada by the end of their visit. Now I got my PR and would like to reapply for them again so my question is do I need to be physically in Canada in order to apply for them or is it fine if I am outside Canada ?
