Parents of an eligible Canadian citizen or a PR
they apply and if approved they are allowed to come to Canada
and live in Canada with their children for a period of up to two years at one stretch
Today we are discussing uh super visa applications a few important aspects of these applications
and the elements and evidence requirements for these applications super visa applications are
the applications for temporary resident visas in which the parents of an eligible Canadian
citizen or a PR they are allowed to come to Canada and live in Canada with their children
for a period of up to two years at one stretch if you have been issued a super visa visa
in your passport there's a likelihood that you are issued multiple entry visas and you could
avail the two years duration multiple times during the during the validity of your passport now
super visas are temporary resident visas which means that you must possess temporary intent of
coming to Canada you at all times should keep that intent and all your documentation your application
must show that the purpose of your coming to Canada is only temporary nowhere in your mind
have you thought about remaining here uh beyond the validity of your state you have to demonstrate
that you possess enough social economic and other ties back home so which makes Canada not
a very attractive destination for you to stay on and never return to your home country now besides
these there are some peculiar requirements for super visa applications both from the
child from the host as well as from the applicant your child or your grandchild whatever the case is
he or she must write an invitation letter to you in which he or she would tell about his or her
status in Canada the size of his family he or she would explain minimum necessary income that we'll
come to this topic a little later in this video uh calculate the number of people list the number of
family members what that person is doing for the living and how does he intend to entertain the
parent or host the parent when they are in Canada that invitation letter must be a complete letter
and there are certain points which must not be omitted in that application letter now the second
requirement is that they have to show that they have to produce evidence of their relationship so
one they will explain in the letter but then they must lead evidence like what certificate or some
other document to show that there there exists a bona fide relationship between the parents and
and the children now i talked about minimum necessary income so what is minimum necessary
income minimum necessary income is the income which a child is earning which is sufficient to
cover the expenses the household expenses of that child his or her spouse or children if the case
as the case may be and it also includes the expenses of the parents so you have to calculate
size of your family to begin with and then evaluate whether your income is enough to support
that family size the minimum necessary income now how do you calculate this size if you are a couple
and you have two children and you there are two parents you are intending to bring into Canada
on a super visa it makes it two plus two plus two six six people family and this uh family of six
the income in minimum necessary income which is prescribed or which is time to time announced
or posted by the immigration authorities on on their website you have to look at that minimum
necessary income table now if you are six people and your income is well above or decently above
the minimum necessary income required for six people you have met this element as well
you have to do uh you have to explain that calculation you have to explain about your family
and list your family members and at the same time lead evidence to show that your last tax return
was good enough to meet the minimum necessary income requirement and during the process in
the application you should provide the the notices of assessment your tax returns your t force your
salary slips and other evidence to show that you meet the minimum necessary income requirement
now here we have discussed your parents for from the child's point of view the child has to produce
evidence the relationship of evidence the child has to produce an invitation letter the child has
to produce a minimum necessary income explanation for the parents and all the documents to show that
that you meet that requirement now from the parent point of view the parents have to not only produce
all the documents to demonstrate that they are bona fide temporary residents but they also have
to provide a minimum of 100 000 travel insurance or super visa insurance with which covers their
stay in Canada and certain other requirements if if they need any medical assistance in Canada
the second requirement from the parents is they are besides the the supervisor uh insurance is the
upfront medical upfront medical examination they have to undergo an upfront medical examination
from one of the panel physicians in their home country and they have to provide the evidence
or the receipt that they have undergone that upfront medical examination outside of Canada so
meeting all other requirements and specific requirements
of the super visa application is the key to success if you miss any of the any of the elements
or single documents we have seen that the visa officers they have very low tolerance for this
