Canada Super Visa Services Guide (For Parents & Grandparents)

At Aditya Visa Consultant, we understand that nothing compares to the joy of reuniting with your children and grandchildren settling in Canada. Unlike a standard tourist visa which restricts your stay duration, the Canada Super Visa is a dedicated multi-entry program designed specifically to let parents and grandparents spend extended, meaningful time with family. Navigating Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) financial baselines, mandatory medical insurance bookings, and host criteria can be demanding. Our specialized visa desk handles the complete compliance framework for you, ensuring a seamless application process for a worry-free family reunion.

Comprehensive Document Checklist for the Canada Super Visa

This list contains the core mandatory documentation required by IRCC from both the applicant (parents/ grandparents in India) and the host sponsor (child/grandchild in Canada).

Personal & Identity Documents (Applicant from India)

  • Original Valid Passport: Must possess a minimum of 6 months validity from the filing date, though a longer validity is recommended as the visa cannot exceed the passport’s expiry
  • Old Passports: Required to establish legitimate international travel footprints (if applicable).
  • Visa Application Profiles: Fully completed family information profiles and IMM forms with digital signature captures.
  • Photographs: Frame sizes adhering strictly to specific Canadian visa biometric criteria (35mm x 45mm, white background, matte finish).
  • Proof of Relationship: Clear copies of birth certificates, school leaving registries, or passport pages establishing the link between the applicant and the host in Canada.

    • Mandatory Host Sponsor Documents (Child / Grandchild in Canada)

  • Letter of Invitation: A formally drafted, signed letter promising complete financial and logistical support for the applicant’s stay duration in Canada.
  • Legal Status Proof: Valid copy of Canadian Citizenship certificate, Canadian Passport, or a Permanent Resident (PR) Card.
  • Household Composition: A signed breakdown of the host's family size living in their Canadian household, which dictates the mandatory minimum income threshold required.

    • Strict Host Financial Sufficiency Proof (LICO Compliance)

  • Notice of Assessment (NOA): The most recent tax year’s official NOA statement issued directly by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
  • Employment Records: Current T4 slips, a formal employment letter specifying designation, date of joining, and salary, alongside recent corporate pay stubs.
  • Minimum Income Verification: Total household revenue must meet or exceed the Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) baseline established for their specific family count.

    • Core Medical Insurance & Health Clearances

  • Canadian Medical Insurance Policy: Verifiable proof of a fully paid health insurance policy from an authorized Canadian insurance provider valid for at least 1 year from the entry date, offering a minimum emergency coverage of $100,000 CAD.
  • Upfront Immigration Medical Exam (IME): The applicant must undergo an upfront medical evaluation conducted exclusively by an IRCC-approved panel physician in India.

    • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    • What is the main difference between a Regular Visitor Visa (V-1) and a Super Visa?

      While both are typically multi-entry visas valid for up to 10 years, a regular visitor visa permits a maximum stay of only 6 months per entry. A Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents to stay continuously in Canada for up to 5 years per entry without needing to apply for extensions inside the country

    • Can siblings, dependent children, or other family relatives apply under the Super Visa?

      No. The Canada Super Visa is strictly limited to the biological or legally adoptive parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents. Spouses or common-law partners of eligible parents/ grandparents can be included, but dependent children cannot travel under this specific stream.

    • What is the LICO requirement and why is it crucial?

      LICO stands for Low-Income Cut-Off. It is the minimum gross annual income your child or grandchild in Canada must earn to prove they can comfortably support your stay. IRCC updates these income slabs annually based on household sizes, and failing to meet this threshold leads to automatic visa refusal.

    • Is it mandatory to buy insurance from a Canadian company, and is a monthly payment plan allowed?

      Yes, the emergency health coverage must be sourced from a licensed Canadian insurance broker. While upfront annual payment was strictly required before, IRCC permits certain approved monthly payment options, provided the visa officer is provided with valid proof of policy activation and a 1-year coverage pledge.
