What is the process and eligibility for parents to get a visa to accompany me abroad in Canada/New Zealand?
It depends on the country. Parents can generally visit you while you study abroad, but the process and eligibility vary.
Canada:
- Visitor Visa: Parents can apply to visit you for a short stay. They must show strong ties to India, sufficient funds, and intent to return.
- Super Visa: For longer visits (up to 5 years per entry), parents need a letter of invitation, proof of your status in Canada, and medical insurance.
New Zealand:
- Parent and Grandparent Visitor Visa: For visits up to 6 months at a time (max 18 months in 3 years), sponsored by you if you are a resident or citizen.
- Parent Boost Visitor Visa: Allows stays up to 5 years (renewable once), with sponsorship and financial requirements.
Visa rules and processing times are subject to change.
