Extend Status Parents To Look After Child Impressive Reason

[Jagroop]

My parents are visiting me in Canada on a temporary resident visa. I want to extend their status because I want to sponsor them for permanent residence in Canada. I do not have my income as required in the MNI chart. If their status is extended, I can work because they will look after my children. Would this reason be strong for extension of their visitor status?

It would be courtesy of your parents that they will look after your children otherwise you can arrange a nanny for taking care of your children either from within Canada or abroad. Your parents can request for extension of their status in Canada to spend more time with their grandchildren. The way you are suggesting the reason, an officer may think the parents will be working even without pay because it will be benefitting you. An officer may refuse the extend stay application with that presumption.
