Once our students settle abroad, their first priority is often to invite their parents or siblings to visit them for graduation ceremonies or holidays. While applying for a visitor visa sounds simple, rejection rates for Pakistani citizens can be high if the application is not handled correctly.

Once our students settle abroad, their first priority is often bringing their parents over for a visit

Australia Subclass 600 (Family Sponsored vs. Tourist Stream) If you are a student or permanent resident in Australia, you may be able to sponsor your parents. The key to approval is the “Genuine Temporary Entrant” criterion. We must prove that your parents have strong incentives to return to Pakistan.

  • Evidence Required: Property ownership deeds, business registration documents, pension details, and strong family ties (like other children) remaining in Pakistan.

Canada Visitor Visa (TRV) Similarly, Canada assesses whether a visitor will leave at the end of their authorized stay. A common mistake is providing a weak “Letter of Invitation” or insufficient proof of funds.

Our Approach: We help draft a comprehensive itinerary and invitation letter that clearly states the purpose of the visit (e.g., attending a convocation). We also organize the financial proofs to show that the trip is affordable without draining the applicant’s life savings.
