I came to Canada to study in 2005, and have become a PR since 2009. I have two older sisters, one is a US citizen, married, living in the US, the other one came to Canada to study in 2011. My parents are back home (Iran). They haven´t been out of Iran for the past 25 years, and hadn´t ever tried to go/immigrate to any other country. Recently, we applied for Canadian Visitor Visa for my Dad first, and then after three weeks for my Mom independently. My Mom applied later just because her docs weren´t complete when my Dad applied. Less that three weeks after his application they gave my Dad a Visa, but rejected my Mom´s, on the ground that why you didn´t mention anything about your husband´s travel (they said that they thought my Mom was being untruthful). In the second application for Mom, we tried to explain everything, and that it was just a misunderstanding/misinterpretation on Mom´s part, that understood "accompany" in the application as meaning that if my Dad would be on the same plane to Canada with her, which wasn´t the case (their itinerary overlapped, but did not coincide). In the first application, they also raised concern about my Mom´s tie to home Country. So, in the second application we also tried to explain that she´s 64 and never been out of Iran for the past 25 years, and never tried to immigrate to any country, and that her only purpose of trip is to visit her kids. But the second application got rejected again, this time on the grounds that 1) tie to home country; 2) inconsistencies with the first application about the purpose of visit (in the first appl. she had said her main purpose of visit is to visit me and my sister, whom she hasn´t seen for a long time. in the second appl. she said she´d like to visit my sister and me. In particular she hadn´t seen my sister for quite a long time.)
I really don´t know what to do anymore. The officers aren´t satisfied that Mom will come back to Iran, and I think, they have doubted my Mom hasn´t been truthful in her application (which of course, is not the case) They don´t have concern about finance. I´m almost sure even if we hadn´t updated the purpose of travel in the second appl. they would have found something else to reject. We tried to explain everything in the second appl., e.g., why she applied after my Dad´s visa got approved, why she applied independently not mentioning my Dad´s case, and why she really wants to come back to Iran after her visit (the fact that she´s 64 and it´s psychologically impossible for her to immigrate at this age). Unfortunately she doesn´t have siblings, and this would probably add to officer´s concerns that she doesn´t have enough ties to Iran. I´m so disappointed, don´t know what to do...

My Mom's Canadian Visitor Visa Rejected 2 Times (in reply to: My Mom's Canadian Visitor Visa Rejected 2 Times)
They obviously suspect that the applications were separated in an attempt to hide the fact that both parents were coming. They also obviously feel that refusing her will not only prevent her from overstaying but also prevent him from doing the same if he comes alone. It is not an unreasonable idea given the human rights problems in Iran and the family members here. Your arguments defending the fact they she will return all kind of support the refusal. Insisting that she had not been out of Iran for 25 years does nothing to prove that she is the kind of person would takes a trip and returns home. Also saying she is too old at 64 to immigrate is really lame as many people bring much more elderly relatives here to take care of them and take advantage of our health care. Maybe if your father travels to Canada and then returns to Iran, they might reconsider and let her come alone later.
