Hi everyone,
My mom is with us here in Canada through tourist visa. Now we want to invite my dad who currently lives in Sri Lanka right now. He stayed in America for 4 years as a refugee. Will this affect our application for him?

1. I am assuming that he claimed refugee status, but didn't receive it and was removed from the US. If that is true, it is unlikely that he would be issued a TRV.

No. Honestly he cancelled the application since he knew he has a better chance here in Canada since I could sponsor him throigh parents sponsorship program.

Still extremely slim, you may have cancelled the application, but his immigration history is still in the system
And you can “ attempt “ to sponsor patents once the program reopens , there’s no guarantee
More than likely your father back home was the tie for your mother to get her visa to visit
If your father visits , then what tie is left for their home country ?
Plus you claimed refugee here

They have properties left there that is worth 100,000 CAD. Will it be a good reason somehow?

Do you have any idea how long is the processing these days through online?
It will most likely take a few months. It's hard to be more exact at this time. Good luck.

Hi,

We are trying to sponsor my husband's sister from Sri Lanka with her family. They would like to come with tourist visa for Christmas, Should this be valid reason?

No such thing as sponsorship but you can invite them for Christmas. They need to show their own funds, travel history and ties to Sri Lanka. They should apply ASAP if they want a response by Christmas.
