i completed the cic immigration documents and supporting documents and bought one year of medical insurance, while i was uploading the documents ,i saw another required document which i didnt notice before '' purpose of travel'' i pressed on the help icon, and they gave examples like

''

You must submit proof that you are coming to Canada for a temporary visit.

Examples of what you can provide as proof:

A scanned copy of:

Your flight ticket departing Canada,
Your travel itinerary (e.g. places you will visit or stay, such as hotel booking),
Proof of a medical appointment. ''

I was expecting to find such document in a TRV application not supervisa, !!.

i just mentioned in the invitation letter that i need my parents to visit me and see my success in establishing life in canada while they retain their jobs and investement in back home..!! that was the reason of the visit..!!

i need ur advice what to do with this ''purpose of travel-other,'' document....can i just leave it empty..!!

one last question, does cic website access visa-debit cards as form of payment , i dont have credit card..!

I wouldn't call this a success in establish life in Canada when you are staying in a room with a family. If you are success, then you probably not live with some strangers.

So, in other words, this is not the reason of the visit. You need to explain how successful you are.
 
Maybe a tourism visa for a short visit versus a super visa would be more successful/convincing especially as you are living in a house share and not happily according your other post.

A super visa implies an extended stay for parents to visit established children/grandchildren so are your parents going to share the same accommodation you have for a year and also keep their jobs back in home country at same time ? It is all about being convincing how your parents will support a trip it seems for a whole year yet you yourself only have temp accommodation.

wtf..!!

before passing judgments ,u could have asked what sort of accomodation i showed up in my supporting documents.
yes currently and untill 1st of june,i am in a temp rental,i have a lease agreement for 3BR starting 1st june, paid first and last,i specifically selected that unit because of its proximity to an islamic school in upper mountain in hamilton, i explained that in my invitation letter.

my parents can buy their own house right away in Canada and I showed that in their financial assests,whether it is banks statements or properity in Dubai.
as far as my accomodation,read my explanation above.

my parents due to their job back in UAE cant stay more than a month, but i want them to have freedom of coming back and forth for 2 years untill i become up to apply for normal PR for parents after 3 years, others in this forum said now trv have 10 years period,but that for some nationalities, some applicants who come from countries that are unstable are given very short trv periods like few months,but only if they have very good jobs in arab gulf countries like qatar or UAE

Hey, mind your language!

Still living with strangers (even temporary) don't show that you are successful in establishing life in Canada. If you will be living in the 3br in June, why don't you begin your application then?

Alternatively, drop the idea of composing a letter of invitation and have them apply for tourism visa as Bs65 suggested.

BTW, If you mention that your parents buying their house in Canada, this will actually turn against them as this is consider a reason for over staying. They cannot have the freedom to return to Canada unless they are PR or citizens.

You got personal, so tone it down.

Keep your comments within the realm of CIC world. Everybody is "successful" in their own world. If you can't don't comment.

Some comments will not fall under CIC world. As the OP had mentioned he want his parents to have freedom to come back, this is subject to CBSA and visitors don't have such privilege. Only PR and Canadian citizens can.

No, this is incorrect. TRVs can be issued for any length of time for up to a maximum of one month less than passport expiry (in some cases, one day short of passport expiry).


but that for some nationalities, some applicants who come from countries that are unstable are given very short trv periods like few months,but only if they have very good jobs in arab gulf countries like qatar or UAE
Based on your posts, your parents have good chances of TRV approval.... and higher chances of super visa refusals. IMO, I think you are making a mistake.

Your current personal/financial situation is not good enough for super visas. You do not have adequate proofs to demonstrate that you meet LICO (which is the very basis for super visas).

Even if your parents are issued super visas, the validity could be as short as six months. It may not be for a minimum of two years contrary to your assumptions. There was one such recent case (India applicant, politically stable country).

Absolutely right.

I recommend you do not write statements like their ability to buy a house in Canada. It will work against them.

Please do be careful about your choice of words/statements for your parents' applications. IRCC can pick up on seemingly innocuous words to figure out facts
