CIC announced yesterday the parent/GP super visa and suspended all sponsoring application for parents and GP for 2years. One of the criteria they said in the new visa program amongst others is that the applicant will have to have ties to their home country. what is lacking is there are no clarification of what makes someone has ties to their home country.This needs to be clarified. Any suggestions

For my parents, they own no property, are not business owners, have no lease agreement (because they are living at grandparents house), retired, no bank accounts (they hide money in the closet and whatever I can send them from Canada), and will have a hell of time proving any family ties because most their brothers and sisters are from villages with no birth certificates or passports (having never travelled). I guess they will never qualify :)

I've spoken to them on the phone, they seem good, just wanted a second opinion!! :)

Maybe an updated birth certificate from their home country. Or any updated legal document from their home country.

My mother has been to Canada on a temporary visa of six months and my sister had extended her visa and she has lived in Canada for two years before coming back to Kenya. After that we had applied for a temporary visa twice and they rejected and live in caregiver once which they also rejected. The reason for rejecting the temporary visa was Close family ties in Canada and no employment.

 

I have got permanent residence visa and become a PR on 3rd October 2011. My sister is settled in Canada and she is a Canadian citizen. She has sponsored my mother two and half year ago but they say it will still require four and half years before the sponsorship can be complete. My younger brother is on work permit in canada and has no intention of coming back to Kenya.

 

My mother is staying with me currently staying alone in Kenya and i had to come back to Kenya since no one to look after her. My son and wife are currently in Canada. I wanted assistance on how i can also take my mother together with me so that we can all go and settle in Canada. I cant just leave my mother alone in Kenya and i really want to start a new life in Canada.  Can i apply for Parent Super visa. How can i prove sufficient family ties?

It doesn't sound like you would qualify to sponsor your mother for a super visa because you just arrived in Canada (you must meet minimum income requirements in order to sponsor you mother for the super visa). But maybe your sister would qualify?

As for showing ties, your mother would have to demonstrate that she still has ties to Kenya. This could include proof such as property ownership, bank accounts, a business, family, etc.

SafeVisit.ca only deals with one carrier.
If you want to shop for a policy you need a broker that can shop the market with multiple carriers like TIC, Travel Underwriter, GMS, Travel Guard. etfs. You will get better rates than SafeVisit.ca
