Parents Super Visa Chances - After I become PR and living inside Canada

[jas!]

Not sure who the "someone told you" is but yes there could be a concern that parent will claim asylum when she enters. That is why she shows strong ties to return, strong travel history and money.

Yes he said the same thing to me.
My question is
Even if I apply for a super visa for my mom, they can still ask her this question?

I want to sponsor my mother as a permanent resident but is there any chance that Immigration Officer will ask question from my mom related my refugee claim. Is she suppose to be prepared for all question regarding my past refugee claim
Which one is better visit visa or supervisa

I’m not completely sure, but I believe IRCC has currently paused new Parents and Grandparents Program applications and is not accepting new interest-to-sponsor forms or invitations until further notice. If anyone has more recent information or an update on this, please share. Also, just to clarify, are you asking about a Permanent Residence (PR) application to sponsor your mother, or are you talking about a Visitor Visa/Super Visa application? I’m a little confused about which application you mean.

She could be questioned upon entry to Canada to deter her likelihood of claiming asylum when entering Canada. If for example you claimed asylum due to your genuine sexuality then you shouldn’t be concerned that you will be outed. Your parents must be aware that you claimed asylum. They could also be asked how you got status in Canada. I assume they must have questioned how you were able to get asylum in Canada.

My parents visited me in Toronto last week. They came with Supervisa. They were never questioned during the visa application process, i.e. during the biometrics, medical checkup, and passport handover/collection process back home. When they landed in YYZ and went to immigration, they had to scan their passports and answer simple questions on the kiosk including any food/perishables/liquids/prohibited items in the bags. They got a printout at the end with a barcode. Then had to take it to the immigration exit area, where immigration/customs officers scanned the code and asked a few simple questions like the reason for visiting + supervisa insurance, how many days they'll stay in Canada, and what type of items are in the bag. The officer then stamped the passport and the paper receipt and allowed parents to exit to the baggage collection area. In the baggage collection area, once parents collected the bags, they went to the final exit. At the final exit, there were officers again who collected the stamped receipts back from parents. This is first-hand experience and there's no situation where the officers asked about refugee status of children or any relative or anything as such.

I am a permanent resident and want to sponser my mother on a visitor visa or super visa

your mother should be prepared to answer questions about your situation if an officer asks, but she does not need to know every detail of your refugee claim.

Of course, every application and entry situation can be different, so I understand that there is no guarantee that another applicant would receive exactly the same questions.

Even if I sponsor my mother on a super visa, there is a possibility of similar questions.

Without knowing why you claimed asylum it is tough to answer your questions. If you sought asylum due to issues related to country conditions then chances related to concerns that they may also not return home increases. Is your mother aware you claimed asylum and that is how you secured PR? Your mother may be asked about your history in Canada, when you arrived, etc. Sadly there are many who have misled IRB so is your concern routed in the fact that you lied on your application? You don’t sponsor a parents for a supervisa but you are supposed to be financially responsible during their visit and you are supposed to ensure they purchase supervisa insurance during their visit. A supervisa is a visitor visa so the primary concern will always be proof that people will return home, that they have the funds to visit Canada and in the case of a supervisa their child/grandchild has the finances to support their visit, that they have purchased supervisa insurance, etc. Visitors are often asked about who they are visiting and could be asked more information about their host (eg. where they live & who they live with, how long have they have lived in Canada, what they do for work, etc.), where they will be staying, what they plan on doing during their visit, etc. Some visitors are asked almost no questions while others end up in secondary inspection. At the very least your mother should be aware that you claimed asylum in Canada and that is how you were able to remain in Canada. Your mother shouldn’t be asked about personal details of your asylum claim unless it potentially involves her directly.
