Sponsoring parents

[Newhere-83]

Hello everyone,
I have few questions
1- i want to apply for my parents visit visa from Pakistan, i am canadian national and i have a brother here with family as PR
Can we both sponsor parents?

2-i will be taking care of all their financial needs here, do they still need to show some funds back in their home country?

3- they havent met their grand kids for 6-7 years and i had 2 still births in last 3 years, and now pregnant again, how can i make my case strong that i need them here?
Thankyou !

1. Are you planning on applying for a TRV or super visa? If a TRV, then your parents apply on their own. If a super visa, then you must show you meet the income requirements and it's more of a sponsorship.
2. Yes, they should still show their own funds. There is a higher chance of refusal if they do not show their own funds.
3. The way to make the application the strongest is to show they have strong ties to their home country and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. You want to avoid saying or making it look like they plan to help you with childcare since IRCC classifies this as working illegally. So their reason for visiting is simply to visit family and welcome the birth of the new child. You should not say they are coming to help you.

It is better to show strong ties to their home country. This may include funds in the bank, immovable assets etc.
