Soon to get Copr, can't leave dad alone, unable to decide

[Anurag321]

Hey guys I am not sure whether this is the right forum for me to discuss about this but if anyone has or was in the similar situation then it would be of a great help for me to make a decision. Currently my application is in process and I am expecting that I will be getting the copr in next 2 to 3 months. The medical is already completed so by the next year in March that would get expire.
The dilemma is that my father is a single parent (75 age) and he's living with us and if I will go out with my wife and a daughter in Canada he will be staying alone and I don't want to leave him here alone. I was initially thinking that I will just take the PR card once and later on I can decide what to do but eventually at the latest stage I have to make a decision. What do you suggest I should be doing. if anyone who was in the similar situation and had their own experience probably I can get some knowledge from that.

I was also thinking one we get the PR, I'll apply for supervisa but then I have to wait for a year to get NOA which is again can't afford to be away or probably a visitor Visa?

I am also not sure if the medical insurance will cover his existing illness as he is a heart patients.

Looking forward for any input to this

All of you make a soft landing to get PR card. If you don't want to stay and settle then leave. Return to Canada before expiry and don't leave Canada until you can renew.

You cannot bring your father to Canada so arrange for full time care for him. If not living in Canada with income meeting LICO and NOA then not eligible. He would have to pass the medical too, and pay higher premiums for health insurance. It is not for day to day care but emergencies. For a visitor visa, he needs to show ties to return, his own funds, and strong travel history. It is for short stays less than 6 months.

Thought you had a sister who is Canada and can apply for supervisa?

How about after landing, you leave your wife and daughter in Canada and then return to take care of your dad? Your wife and daughter can go to visit you during school holidays.

Btw, if your wife is the principal applicant, then let her and your daughter go to Canada together to do the landing. You (being one of the dependents) don't have to go if you feel bad leaving your dad behind. Your wife can just sponsor you for immigration later.

- Insurance won't cover pre-existing conditions so you need to be prepared to pay for care out of pocket if he comes to Canada on either a TRV or super visa. This can get extremely expensive very fast (tens or even many hundreds of thousands of dollars) if he requires emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, or other high cost care. Make sure you are financially prepared to cover this. You may also find it difficult to get a specialist for him since he will only have visitor status in Canada.
- You are right that you will need to wait until you have an NOA to appy for a super visa so that is not going to be possible for quite some time.
- A visitor visa is an option but you want to be careful timing the application so that IRCC doesn't think you are trying to move your father to Canada with you on the TRV. Best option would be for the three of you to move to Canada first (without your father) and then apply for the TRV 6-8 months after you have lived in Canada.
- Perhaps the most realistic option right now is for the three of you to come to Canada and land to become PRs, then return back to your home country to care for you father. You will have up to three years to make the decision on whether to relocate to Canada or not. Do you have any other siblings?
