Why are you yelling? There is no such thing as in ”invitation” visa. She must declare that she was deported, and it could have an impact on the decision for a TRV/visitor visa. She needs to show her own funds, ties to return to home country, travel history and valid reasons to travel.

Yes, it will likely impact the TRV. Make sure she declares this history fully in her application and shows very strong ties to her home country.

Do you mean permanently or for a visit? Getting a TRV will be very challenging unless they have very strong ties to where they are currently living because they will be concerned that the rest of the family will arrive and ask for asylum as well.

its not that challenging. Three of my family members applied for visit visa and got approved within a month, they visited and easily crossed immigration without any issue

Can you please help with the kind of docs you submitted and how you established the ties?

The thing is they really don't want to immigrate here, just to visit my family.

Hi Andrew. If you need advise, I’d say contact an immigration lawyer to assist with this. I know personally of asylum claimants who became PRs who were able to provide an invitation letter to a friend to support their Canadian visitor visa application and the visa was granted. I know of 2 situations in which he gave invitations letters and both were person visas were approved.
There’s no immigration policy, law or precedence that visa officer will look at how you became a PR/Citizen to determine if the individual satisfy the requirements to be granted a visa.

Thanks for posting

Just another example of how incompetent the immigration department is

It really depends on the circumstances and country of origin. Also as IRCC attempts to reduce temporary residents they may tighten TRV policies to pre2023 standards when it was much harder to get approved.

Hi all,

My fiancé is currently a refugee claimant and has applied for Permanent Residence (PR) under the refugee category, but his PR application is still pending. His father has passed away, and his mother resides in India. He is the only son, as his sister is married and settled in New Zealand. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada.

We are planning to get married in 2025, but before that, we would like his mother to come to Canada, as he has no immediate family members here. What steps should we take in this situation?

1. Can he apply for a visitor visa for his mother?
2. Would it be possible for us to have a court marriage first, and then apply for a visitor visa for his mother, stating that we intend to have a religious ceremony in Canada and wish for her to attend?

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

His mom has very weak tie to India since her spouse passed away and her children are not there. Is she currently working? Does she own any property/business that needs her attention to return.

It's hard to get TRV approved even if your fiancé is not a refugee claimant. So I don't know the chance of her TRV approval.
She can always try to apply. Just remember proving strong tie to India and just a visit to Canada. It's not the opposite.

1. His mother is the one who applies, not him. Make sure she shows ties to her home country in the application.
2. Sure. You can do that.

Yes she does have property in her name in India

She should show her own funds for the trip. That will give her the highest chances of approval. In terms of writing the invitation letter if you want to include one, he should do that.
