Parents sponsorship (TRV/Super/PGP?)

[backupoption123]

Hello,

I am seeking some suggestions regarding which route I should take for parents visa/sponsorship.

Here is the background:
I currently work in US [h1] and have a CAD PR. I am planning to move to Canada soon ( but there is a possibility I may live near CAD border and commute daily to US for work till I find a job in Canada).
My sibling is also in US pursuant of a F1 Visa( student). My parents US Visitor visa got rejected last year.
The only questions asked were about what your children do in US and have you ever traveled aboard (they don't have travel history).
I am planning to take them to one or two Asian countries before applying for CAD visa, just to say " yes" to have you ever traveled to any other countries.

Questions :

1) I have read US/CAD are member of 5 eye sharing Visa details. Does this also account for rejection cases and do CAD officers look at it?

2) what type of Visa/sponsorship should I go for? TRV/SuperVisa or PGP
I do not have T4 or other things you get when you are employed in Canada as I will be employed in US. (I will file my first tax in CAD next year for 2017 showing income from US)

3) when Should I apply?
3a. While I am still in US and have no physical address in Canada?
3b. Settle down. have a physical address while still working in US?
3c. Settle down completely in CAD ?
3c. doesn't matter
3d. Any other suggestion?

4) Should I sponsor them? or have them show their income etc? or show both?
4a. What other things apart from Savings, and property can be used to show ties back to the country?

5) Book return tickets and attach them to application?

6) Apply for Mom first and if she gets it apply for Dad or vice versa?

any help from someone who was in similar situation and got through this or have extensive knowledge, I would really appreciate your help?

1) You will have to declare your parents' US visa rejection in any Canadian application. Failure to do so is misrepresentation which typically results in a five year ban from Canada. Yes - Canada and the US share information. Yes - the US refusal could negatively impact their ability to get a visitor visa. Note that traveling to Asian countries to get travel history won't help. CIC is looking for travel to countries requiring visas (e.g. US, UK, Europe).
2) If you only have US income and no T4's, regular visitor visa is the only option at this point.
3) They can apply for the TRV now. For a super visa, you'll need Canadian income.
4) By sponsor them - are you asking about PR? If so, you're years away from that being possible. This requires three years of Canadian income.
5) Do not book airline tickets until they have approved visas
6) Depends. If you want both parents to come - apply for both together. If you're OK with your mother coming and not your father - apply separately.

Thank you for detailed response.

Few things

1) Some Asian countries do give both options ( Visa on arrival / get Visa stamped in your home country). Will this help? or I along with my mom and Dad should instead plan a small trip to UK/ Europe?

3) What If I will never have a Canadian Income? ( Can't I show I pay province taxes, have a house? etc)

4) By sponsor them - I meant, showing my funds instead of their's for Visitor visa?

6) I have couple of friends whose parents visa's got rejected when they applied together ( all children were aboard or in canada). They were able to get it second time when Mom/dad applied separately (without any travel history).


7) Other thing : My sibling is graduating next year. So, This is one reason for travelling to US next year for my parents. Should I apply for that first before applying for Canada?? or Canada would be a little easier to get than US?

1) No - won't help. For travel history, CIC is looking for Europe, UK, etc.
3) Then the super visa and sponsoring them for PR will never be an option.
4) Better for them to show at least some of their own money - easier to get the TRV approved. You can certainly help to fund their trip.
6) Sometimes it works - sometimes not. You can certainly try.
7) I don't know which would be easier.

Thank you. This clear alot of doubt . I think my best bet is to apply for a Europe Visa and then try Canada/US again
