Super Visa: Wait 3 years before you can apply for your parents !!!

[cforcanada]

Super visa was created solely for the purpose of reducing the family sponsorship backlogs and to avoid long immigration line for the family members. The recent requirement posted by New Delhi Visa Office contradicts the sole purpose of this super visa.

It states that "Proof of the inviter's ability to provide promised financial support including but not limited to Notice of Assessment (NOA) for the past three tax years, employment letter identifying salary, pay stubs, bank statements, etc."

In my view this is outrageously illegal. In Canada, the law is equal for everybody than why there is different interpretation of law for different region of the world.

Has anybody been affected by this new change in supervisa law? That you have to wait 3 years before you can even think of applying for your parents.

Anybody has any idea what to make out of it? Or it is just a typo or negligence from their side.

Hi,

For the Supervisa you only need to submit the NOA for the most recent tax year. Please refer to CIC site for information on what documents you need to submit. If your doing a sponsorship application for your parents, then yes, 3 last years of NOA are required. We just did my mother-in-law's application for Supervisa and we gave our 2013 NOA.

Thanks!

I mean if they copied and pasted the requirements from sponsorship application to supervisa section then it is the height of negligence. Which i doubt.

Well unfortunately it is the height of negligence. You only need last year's NOA for a supervisa. Sponsorship on the other hand, requires 3 years.

do you know if letter from employer is good enough along with savings/investments and maybe also paystubs, the issue is i am now in a decent paying job but wasn't as of last year so the NOA doesn't show i am above LICO but my letter and paystubs do. I am asking cause the cic checklist says to provide any one of the following: and its now, t4s or letter of employment ??? so then is letter of employment good enough?
please let me know as I need my mother here urgently and will have to wait if they want NOA etc,

Thank you,

What if my income last year was not enough as per LICO but my current income is enough (way more). Is it okay to apply for my parent supervisa?

Hi, can you please help clarify me? My husband is Canadian citizen and i am still waiting for my PR. Now my husband wants to apply for supervisa for my mother (his mother-in-law). Is it possible that way or i have to be PR too? I am not co-signing. His income is 80K.

No - unfortunately it's not possible. Only you can sponsor your mother for a super visa. However you can't do this until you have PR. Your husband can only sponsor his own parents.
