Supervisa and refugee questions

[Chinita0709]

Hi everybody.
It’s my first time writing in these forum. I have questions about the supervisa and the refugee claim as well.
My mom is from
Venezuela and she came to Canada to visit me and we applied for her the refugee thing back in 2017 but her case was denied because before she came to Canada she did transfer in panama and also she stayed in the USA for few days for vacation, so after the application was rejected she was given 30 days to leave the country so she left on December 31st 2017. Since then she hasn’t returned to Canada. My question is after how long can she return to Canada or apply for a tourist visa and come here to visit? Also is it a better idea to apply for the supervisa instead? I know that to apply for the supervisa she needs to buy medical insurance but I’m
Not sure if this is expensive ? If anybody has any information or experience in this that can help me and facilitate me, it would be appreciated

Unfortunately, you should expect that any sort of visa for your mom is going to apply for will be rejected. Given her attempt at claiming asylum, it’s highly unlikely IRCC will issue a new TRV or a SV for her. It’s also highly likely any visa she held previously has been cancelled (about 99% likely) due to her claim.

Unfortunately I agree with the above. Due to the failed refugee claim, any sort of temporary visa (including a visitor visa and super visa) isn't going to be an option for your mother. You will have to focus on qualifying and being selected to sponsor her for PR through the parent / grandparent sponsorship program.

Really???? Even though it’s been 2 years already. How many years does she need to wait in order to come back?
Unfortunately I don’t meet the requirements for income to sponsor her. I don’t know what other ways to do it

Once someone has a failed refugee claim, it's usually not possible to return to Canada on a temporary visa (e.g. TRV, super visa, work permit, etc.). This is because the failed refugee claim demonstrates that this person wants to remain in Canada long term.

You can certainly try applying however the chances of refusal are extremely high. She will also need to go through the ARC process.

Your best bet is to focus on making enough income to qualify to sponsor her for PR.

Hi - imagine, if you will, how you will address the refused refugee claim within the new TRV application while describing all of the things that will compel her to return home.

Her immigration history is:

(a) get a TRV based on her commitment to return home; enjoy a vacation en route
(b) get to Canada and claim that you cannot return home, consume Canadian resources to adjudicate it
(c) get home safely after refused refugee process and removal from Canada
(d) seek a TRV based on her commitment to return to the home that she couldn't return to earlier

I know that it's your mom and I would guess that the refugee claim was not her idea, however what has been created is the profile of an unreliable traveller.

You rarely return to Canada without a Permanent Resident Visa, and are unlikely to get a visa to other western nations. There are consequences and the prevailing view is that future visits happen where she lives and not in Canada. After all, it's only a visit.

Would add that the situation in Venezuela has deteriorated since early 2017 when she likely applied. Unfortunately people are unaware of the consequences of asylum claims. It should be the last resort.
