- Australia slammed for its visa processing times
- Parent visas take up to 30 years to be processed
- Migrants say they should have gone to Canada instead

Australia has been slammed as a ‘heartless nation’ by migrants because of the length of time it takes for their parents to be granted a visa.
Skilled migrants who want to apply for a visa so their ageing parents can come and join them in Australia face wait times of up to 30 years.
The situation has left many migrants regretting their decision to move Down Under, with some saying they wish they had instead gone to Canada, where parent visas are processed much more quickly.
Australia has been slammed as a ‘heartless nation’ as migrants complain about the lengthy wait times for their parents to be granted a visa
One skilled migrant who moved to Australia from the U.S. said the lengthy wait in visa processing times was making it harder for his parents to visit him.
Engineer Nitin Parwal, who lives in Adelaide, told SBS Hindi he wished he had known about the visa options elsewhere before he moved to Australia.
‘Now it’s not possible for me to relocate to the U.S. or Canada as I have already worked hard here and established myself in Australia,’ Mr Parwal said.
‘By making the parent visa process harder, Australia is demonstrating that it is once again a heartless nation, just as it was during the Covid lockdown’.

According to the Department of Home Affairs website, a Contributory Parent Visa will take at least 12 years to process.
The visa grants parents of migrants who are Australian citizens or permanent residents the right to freely visit their children.
Those who are applying for a Parent Visa (subclass 103) may have to wait 29 years for their visas to get processed.
Mr Parwal urged fellow migrants who are the primary carers for their parents to move to Canada instead.
Canada’s processing time for temporary visas for parents and grandparents can be as short as eight weeks under its Super Visa scheme.
The program also allows for visiting parents to stay in the country for two years.

A spokesperson from the Department of Home Affairs told Daily Mail Australia that the department processes a certain number visas annually.
‘Parent visas are capped under the Migration Program each year. The demand for these visas is strong and has consistently exceeded the available places, resulting in an upward trend in processing timeframes in recent years,’ the spokesperson said.
‘It has been the long-standing practice of successive governments to manage the orderly delivery of Migration Program outcomes against planning levels’.
According to the department’s website, wait times for parent visas take a significant amount of time to be processed.
‘The demand for Parent Visas is greater than the number of places available each year. As a result, processing times for these applications can be lengthy,’ the website states.
There are more than 137,000 parent visa applications that are yet to yet to be processed.
That figure has tripled in the last decade.
