Parents’ TRV Eligibility While My Work Permit Extension Is in Process

[Dharan275]

My work permit and visa are expiring in 10 days, but I have already applied for an extension and received confirmation of maintained/implied status.

Since my marriage is planned in Canada within the next two months , I am planning to invite my parents from India on a visitor visa (TRV).

Can they apply while I am on implied status, or do I need to wait until my new work permit and visa are approved?

Yes they can apply. Assume you didn't do a dummy extension. Their application is based on their profile - ties to return, travel history and their own funds.

To clarify, I have not made any dummy extension application. I am on a closed work permit, and my employer has submitted the extension on my behalf.

I just wanted to reconfirm whether my implied status would have any impact on the approval of my parents’ visitor visa application.

Thanks

So you have a new LMIA with extension. They can apply and has nothing to do with you except it show family ties in Canada and not in home country. They are approved based on their ties to return home.

If they don’t have a valid TRV already there is a good chance their TRV application may not be processed in time for your wedding and if processed may not be stamped. They should have applied 6+ months ago. If your wedding/marriage was also planned on a very short timeline and coincides with your WP expiring I hope you have a very long relationship history because getting married when your WP is expiring if you don’t have your own way to secure PR will raise red flags.
