Hi GoldenEye

I was doing well in Australia and was very happy there. However, since I am the only son, I had to move back as my father had a bypass surgery after which my mother fell ill in May 2004.

My mother expired in Ausgust 2006. I want to move to Canada as they are more linient with parents. Hopefully my father will get PR there.

To me Canada is the only option left.

Warm regards

If you are in s/w and want to be near to your father who already has undergone bypass.. no country with nationalized healthcare is going to let you sponsor him. I am not sure you realize regardless of where you decide to go.. a senior with heart trouble is not going to pass a medical.. I might be wrong abt OZ but with Canada or US .. HE IS NOT GOING TOBE ALLOWED IN COUNTRY ON PR.. you can save a lot of money if you check out admissibility first.. Don't mean to discourage you but there might be some quack immigration agents out there that might show you hope for just getting some commision and you better check it directly with CIC .. but there was a famous case last yr with South African billionaire with sick kid that got denied even after he was ready to pay for entire medical care himself.. but CIC didn't allow that..

Oh !! WindsorBoy

It comes to me as a surprise. B'coz I was told by "n" no. of immigration consultants that he will surely be able to get PR there *(but I guess they are more concerned about their fee rather than giving good advice).

I applied throught Abhinav Immigration consultants. They told me that once I am in Canada I can get my father their on tourist visa and then apply for PR in Canada. This way even if he is not granted visa, he can atleast stay with us till his visa is processed.

Do you think this is possible ?

Technically he's not wrong..but lets see how many ifs there are in that logic..
IF you get PR in reasonable time..
IF they don't reject his tourist visa which they might..
IF they don't change current policy of allowing people to apply from inside country.
On the top.. and this I know is true even today.. you might get tourist visa for 10 yrs.. but you get stamp for 6 months max at one time and you are supposed to renew that every six months..
and AFTER all that.. when he goes to medicals.. he's sure to fail so you are going thro' all that trouble to have 5 yrs in country time with him in Canada .. Well it might work but even in that case.. isn't easy thing to do is to get tourist visa for him today before you are a PR so that rejection chances are less ?
You can always say you wanna visit niagara.. get a multiple entry visa valid for 10 yrs.. and since you have Aussie PP you probably don't need visa..
You better check all angles before putting your money and time for this visa.. I am thinking getting him on tourist visa in Oz might be equally easy..
Other option would be to rethink your options and strategy..
