Applying Visitor Visa for My Parents to Come to Canada for My Wedding? How Long??

Question

I'm currently under work permit. My common law partner and I are getting married in October. So I would like my parents attending to my wedding since his parents don't fly.....

I'm wondering could I apply for my parents' visitor visa in Canada? What do I need to do if i could do it here?? Or they must apply themselves back home? How long does it take?? How many months do they normally give you on this type of occasion??

Answer 1

Don't Delay ,Do it Today.Because Visas take a while to

process in Washington these days..or Simply meet them at the Border Making sure that they have  a Current and Valid Passport.The Border Patrol should still give them a visa on the spot and you are good to go

Answer 2

What country do they live in?  It depends on where they live the red tape that they have to go through.

Good luck to you and congratulations.

Answer 3

you have not mention in which country your parents reside ? come back and tell us if you wish ? hard to answer you without knowing this information .......

ps: went to Canada gov. and found that you can write a letter of invitation to your parents :

Sometimes a person applying for a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada is asked to provide a letter of invitation from someone in Canada. The following information will help you prepare such a letter to send to a relative or friend abroad.

here is a list of all countries who need a visa to visit Canada :

Answer 4

It will help if you send them a letter of invitation. They will have to show this when they apply for the visitors visa in China. They will go though the normal application routine and interview.

BTW, congratulations!
