My wifes parents applied for trv to canada because we are expecting our first baby in mid of may and got refused. It is mentioning mainly about due covid restrictions, the reason of the travel is not reasonable and not exempt to travel and then not satisfied with the purpose of the travel.
My question is, parents visiting for the pregnancy reason wont be an essential travel? Because I know foreign nationals cannot travel now unless it is an essential travel...

Seems as though you are on WPs so parents do not qualify for travel exemptions. Although having family in Canada may be nice it is not essential. Your wife does have you for support so will not be alone.
Before applying we asked ircc about this reason and they said meeting immediate family members is essential travel...and we clearly said the reason and they told about meeting immediate family members...

But you are on a PGWP/OWP so you don’t meet the exemption of immediate family since you are not PR or a citizen. So your parents travel is not viewed as essential during Covid. You can try again but they also need written authorization.
Very hard to comment without knowing their situation and what was specified as why they were denied. Did they get denied for aa TRV or for the special authorization to travel? Did you submit the request for special authorization to travel as well?

Thank you for your reply. In the website it says written authorization will be given by the same time when the process the Visa, if they are exempt and written authorization will be given with the visa.may be I am wrong. In this case what should I do?
