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

I thought insurances cover in case of super visas or visitor.. Then how other people are getting their parents? I mean normally mostly at this age people do suffer from some of the other disease. Looking at this, I don't know then it would be a viable option even if I plan to move first without him for sometime and would it be difficult to get his routine checkups later from the specialist? Aren't there private clinics? sorry I have no info about it and asking so many questions.

The private insurance you buy for your parent as part of a TRV or super visa will cover some medical expenses but certainly not all. Generally speaking, insurance companies will not cover care related to pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies are in the business of making money. For that reason they typically exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions since they know the chances are high that the costs of the care the person will need will be much higher than the insurance premiums you pay. The math doesn't work on their end.

Canada doesn't really have private clinics.

While I agree with this - a warning: one of the biggest issues we see here that come up with those who do soft landings like this, consistently, is that they wait until, say, 2.5/3 years before moving to Canada, and then - life interferes. They can't come before third anniversary, they have a job that requires a lot of travel, kids' school issues, whatever. And then being close to the limit of time outside Canada for residency obligation starts to cause problems.

Strongly recommend putting a strong target to move to Canada after only two years abroad, and to plan for no later than that. Then if it turns out to be a serious issue at the two year mark, there is still flexibility to move things around somewhat.

Thanks for your answer. Though, looking at global uncertainty i don't see coming permanently and also given the fact that I would not get multiple options for my Dad.

Then do a soft landing or left your wife and daughter in Canada. Your wife and daughter visits you during school holidays. Unlike the other poster said, many are unemployed and can travel with children during school holidays.

The bottom line is: living permanently in Canada with your spouse, child, and elderly father may not be possible, or at least in reasonable timeframes. And at some point, remaining in home country with the father and family may foreclose options to settle in Canada.

Sorry for the downer message. It does work out for some. Not for all.
