How to invite your parents on a visitor visa to Canada
Yes, you can. If your parents’ country of citizenship is not visa exempt, they will need to apply for a Visitor Visa.
In order to obtain Visitor Visas, your parents will need to demonstrate that their stay in Canada will be temporary as well as sufficient funds to pay for the trip Canada. They must also demonstrate that they will return to their home country upon the expiration of their visitor status. An Immigration Officer will ultimately determine to issue the Visas. It is recommended to submit a complete application with strong supporting documents.
Hi there! I am a Canadian citizen residing in Canada, and would like my parents to come for a visit in December for my daughter’s wedding. My parents are Pakistani citizens living in Pakistan. Is there anyway I can apply for a visit visa for them from Canada? That is, I would like to file their visit visa application here in Canada. Please advice as to how to file a paper application from within Canada.
Thanks!
Hi Samira,
Thank you for your immigration inquiry! The short answer to your question is, Yes. You can apply for a visitor visa for your parents to come to Canada for a short period of stay.

Hi Lily,
Thank you for your question! You can certainly invite your parents to visit you in Canada. Depending on which country they’re coming from, they may need to apply for a visitor visa or an eTA. It’s important to provide with your application strong supporting documentation of your parent’s intent as visitors in Canada and that they will in fact be returning to their country. With respect to the income requirement, this is definitely a factor that is considered in the officers assessment. And it’s important to submit a proper explanation along with specific documents, I suggest you schedule a consultation with our office to discuss further. If you wish to proceed, please send me an email at: info@canadaimmigrationlawyers.ca
