I am here on a WP and would like to invite my parents over to canada.
My Work permit expires on 20th october 2008,i have already applied for an extension.

Would it be wise to invite my parents after the extension or now?

3. will it effect his PR application status if i apppied for visitor visa for them?
ANS- YES, SEE ANSWER TO Q1.

Just a clarification regarding visitors insurance.

If you get the same from India, be informed that you have a tentative start date to this insurance. So if you do not get the visa , simply cancel it and you should get a refund.

More informed CD's can comment please.

Thanks,
Rajiv

I do NOT think, the hurdles in getting parent's to visit you on 'Visitor's Visa' has been a problem anyday for me.

In last 1 year, I have called my brother-in-law, then my own brother, My mom, as well now, it is my in-laws who are here on the visitor's visa these days. Never had a query / denial on any of their applications, when I backed up the visitor visa application with my Financial status as well the Invitation letter (not necessary to have it notorized, but good to have).

Yes, it is a good idea to buy 'medical insurance' for anyone who is 60+ of age as otherwise, it is a major concern for CIC to stamp visa to seniors.

PM me, if anyone needs more info. or needs to discuss the case-by-case issue.

Wish you all the Best and will pray that your parent's visa works out well.

The other option of getting documents "notarized" is to go to city hall and clerk will stamp your documents after verification of originals and /or identity for "Free". This will have more weight.
