Welcoming your parents or grandparents to stay in Canada for extended periods is an important and emotional decision. Suppose you’re a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in Surrey, BC. In that case, you may already be exploring the Super visa as a pathway to make that happen.
Understanding the process, eligibility criteria, and paperwork can feel overwhelming—especially when family is involved. That’s why this option exists: to allow longer stays without going through traditional visitor visa restrictions.
Let’s walk through what you need to know and how Dhanda Immigration can assist you in navigating it with clarity.
Applying for a Super visa involves more than just filling out a few forms. We’ll help ensure each piece fits correctly, with a process built around your needs and the visa’s specific requirements.
Here’s what we support you with:
We review your situation and confirm whether you or your family members meet the necessary conditions.
We assist with compiling and organizing the documents that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) expects.
Support in drafting the formal invitation letter from the sponsor, which is a key part of the application.
Clarification and formatting of financial evidence showing the sponsor meets the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO).
✔ Health insurance requirement support
We walk you through securing valid Canadian medical insurance coverage for the applicant, which is mandatory for Super visa approval.
Throughout the process, we stay connected to address updates, requests, or follow-ups from IRCC.
If you’re sponsoring a parent or grandparent and want them to visit for an extended period—up to 5 years at a time—the Super visa could be the appropriate route.
Here are common reasons people choose this option:
Each Super visa application involves several coordinated steps. Here’s how the process typically unfolds when you work with us:
We start by understanding your goals, checking eligibility, and outlining the steps based on your unique situation.
We provide a checklist and support to gather items such as Proof of relationship, financial records, and the invitation letter.
We help the applicant obtain a one-year private Canadian health insurance policy that meets Super visa requirements.
We complete the forms, double-check accuracy, and submit the application online or via paper, depending on the case.
Once submitted, we monitor the status and assist with any additional requests from immigration officers, including biometrics or medical exams.
Upon approval, we help you understand the terms of the visa, the length of stay, and what happens during and after the visit.
Processing times can vary depending on the country of application and completeness of the submission. On average, it takes 8 to 12 weeks, but this can change due to workload or additional documentation requests.
The Super visa is a temporary resident visa, so it doesn’t lead directly to permanent residency. However, individuals can explore separate pathways if eligible under other immigration streams.
You must meet the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) based on your family size. For example, for a household of four people, a specific annual income threshold must be met. This number is updated yearly by IRCC.
Yes. Applicants must show Proof of Canadian medical insurance with at least one year of coverage and a minimum of $100,000 in health care protection.
At Dhanda Immigration, we guide clients through the Super visa process with structure and clarity. If you’re preparing to reunite with your parents or grandparents in Canada for an extended stay, now is a good time to plan your next move with the proper support.
