A: Given below is the stipulation from Canadian government in reference to the same.
There are different factors taken into consideration by the Visa officials before allowing a person into the country. If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, then your parents and grandparents are eligible provided they also meet some other conditions as laid by the Visa officers. Most importantly, they should be genuine and are expected to leave by the end of the Visa term by themselves. There are multiple factors taken into consideration and they include but not limited to the below:
- The visiting purpose
- The financial and the family situation of the person visiting
- The home country and how the person is tied to it
- The situation – both political and economic, of the home country
- The hosts who are inviting them to Canada.
Apart from being eligible to visit the country, the visitor, whether it is your parent or your grandparent should also provide:
- Written confirmation from their child or their grandchild whom they are visiting that they will be providing the financial support. This can be provided only by someone who meets a minimum income criterion.
- Canadian medical insurance valid for 1 year of their visiting period.
- A completion of the IME (Immigration Medical Examination).
This is just a snapshot of the requirement and you can get more details by visiting the government website of Canada.
