Visitor visa for my parents was rejected in April 2017. I got married and now I am pregnant wanted to apply for visitor visa again. Should I take any measures ? anybody here had similar situation like me ?

The reasons for rejection was :
> Not enough family ties
> Not sufficient funds

My father had shown around 10 lakhs INR in Fixed deposit account should there be anything I should be aware please advice thank you

Hi - I've had rejections too, but if you are able to respond to their rejection points then you should be good. I, however, prefer super visa for parents, mainly for 2 reasons, 1. less formality for parents to go through the paperwork as most of the documents to support this will be yours, and, 2. they can stay longer on their initial visit.... but if you don't meet the requirement for the super visa, then go for visitor visa... I am sure experts/seniors here can help you out... Good Luck!

1. For how long do your parents want to visit? Purpose of their visit?

2. What is the personal and professional situation of your parents? For example: Are they employed/own a business/retired + own property/land + live with dependent family members + financial situation + have they traveled abroad earlier?

3. FDs are not liquid finances per se and normally won't be liquidated to pay for a visit abroad. Do your parents have liquid funds of their own without borrowing from anyone?

Assuming the purpose is birth tourism:

It's not illegal to travel to Canada for the purposes of giving birth, but you are obliged to declare this intention on your visa application. If you don't, your visa could be denied, you could be banned for misrepresentation, and you can be denied entry at the Canadian border.

If you give birth without declaring this intention of the visa application, expect never to get a Canadian visa again (or any other Western country for that matter) after giving birth. Also, having a Canadian kid will not allow you to stay in the country.

If you won't be giving birth in Canada, then you can apply normally making sure that you prove strong ties to India and enough money to cover your expenses.

A tentative flight and hotel reservation + schedule can't hurt. You need to convince the visa officer that there is something in India that will bring y'all back.

Incorrect assumptions here.

The OP is not applying for a TRV for herself. She is currently a PGWP or a PR. She would like to apply for TRVs for her parents

Thank you I am on my work permit still I have applied for PR and waiting for it. In this case I suppose Visitor visa would be an option. Thanks so much for your help

My parents will be visiting me for 3 to 4 months. The purpose is my delivery.

Both of my parents are working and they hold a very good position in a private firm. Their financial situation is pretty good they are planning to show around 15000 CAD in their account apart from that I have good job and I will be showing my bank account. They have property which will be assessed by an auditor to give a statement.

They have all the money in FD we could transfer it into their account should I advise them to transfer it ?

The very first time they applied they went through an agent Y axis they kinda screwed up the whole process my father had just shown 3000 INR in his personal account and the rest in a bond format and in the letter they had mentioned son instead of daughter not to blame them even we didn't notice few stuff unless the visa was rejected. However, this time I am planing to apply online for them from Canada and I want to do things right.

Thanks so much

Oh I'm sorry. The OP said "I got married and now I am pregnant wanted to apply for visitor visa again." so I thought she was applying for herself. My bad.

Try applying for only 1-2 weeks... 3-4 months stay shows weak ties to home country.

Normally visitors are allowed up to 6 months stay unless stated otherwise upon arrival in Canada.
