Hello Mb,

Each application is processed on a case by case basis. There are no guarantees that they will accept their applications to come to Canada as visitors. As you may know, they should be able to provide sufficient proof that they will return to their country of origin.

You can find some detailed information regarding what is considered on the CIC Website in the Temporary residents: Eligibility and admissibility considerations section.

Here is an excerpt,

A person may have a dual or eventual intent to become a permanent resident, but in order to qualify for a temporary resident visa, they must demonstrate that they have the capacity and willingness to leave Canada at the end of the authorized temporary period (refer to dual intent).
*the ties to their home country are sufficiently strong to ensure that they are motivated to return home after the visit to Canada

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
