The basic requirements for Canada PR Process or 173 Contributory Parent Temporary Visa are: –

• The parents must be sponsored by their permanent resident children
• The parent must meet the balance of family test (half or all children must reside in the country)
• An Assurance of Support (AoS) bond must be wedged prior to the visa grant which is AUD10,000 for main applicants and AUD4000 for dependents. The government will hold this bond for 10 years
• A contributory parent visa fee of AUD29,130 needs to be paid per applicant.

The contributory parent visa fee is non-refundable and only needs to be processed when the Australian Government, as well as the Immigration department, grants the visa requirements.
