Super Visa Income Requirement supporting documents

[mahi212]

Hi ,

I want to apply super visa for my in laws. I am new to Canada and still working for US company on remote and get paid on US payroll. I dont have a Canada payroll and never paid any tax to Canadian govt. Can I still apply for super visa and show US pay stubs, W2 forms in US and US Bank statement to prove income. My income does meet the needed threshold for number of dependants.

Thanks.

You don’t qualify. You need to show proof of a year of Canadian income that meets LICO typically on an NOA. Would add that if not actually living in the US assume you have updated your HR department about your residency in Canada if working remotely from Canada. Both payroll and tax implications and potentially breaking your contract if not declaring if you are working from outside the US.

Thank you for the response. It seems like I need to find a Canadian job and wait for the tax year to be able to apply for a super visa.

You could also work for your current employer but be paid in Canada which should already be happening if you are living and working in Canada and I assume you are not a US citizen. A supervisa is just a visitor visa so parents can also try to visit on a normal TRV. A supervisa is not a permanent move to Canada just the ability to visit for a longer period time as long as parents can obtain supervisa insurance annually to cover any health issues emergencies while in Canada like other tourists. Many are under the false impression that a supervisa is a permanent move up Canada and chances of parent sponsorship, especially within years, is incredibly low. Demand far exceeds the limited number of spots available and the program has been closed for the past 5 years to new applicants. Hundreds of thousands are waiting for the program to reopen. This year there were only 10k spots and program is reassessed annually. If only recently moved up Canada would strongly encourage your family to establish yourself in Canada before your parents attempt to visit and apply for a TRV. IRCC looks for cases where parents may be attempting to move to Canada with their children. One of the reasons you need the NOA for a supervisa and it is based on income earned in Canada not salary.

Thank you for the detailed information.Yes I am not US citizen. I am aware of the 5 year limit. My situation is little bit more complicated.

Currently I am in Canada with my wife and one kid (all three PR holders). I also have other kid who is born outside of Canada (US citizen, born after we got our PR cards) currently staying in India with my in laws. My plan is to bring my second kid preferable my in laws too in a year (this seems unlikely now) or two.

Will IRCC question my in laws for applying for super visa, even though my other dependant kid is outside of Canada?
Should I first apply dependant PR for my second kid before applying for super visa for in laws?
I mean are these even interrelated, like one application (dependant PR) hindering other (super visa sponsorship) if hypothetically I earn income exceeding for the 6 member family.

Would I need a immmigration lawyer for these applications (I am just not comfortable with other people handling, as I know IRCC makes it easy for applying self and I have handled all my PR process on my own).

Your child has very little impact on your in-laws when it comes to IRCC. You do need to provide permission to travel with the child but that is unrelated to IRCC. Is there a reason your US born child did not come with you to Canada? They could have entered as a visitor. You can apply for both the supervisa and child sponsorship on your own. Assume you may not be compliant with your RO. Also not guaranteed 5 years it is currently up to 5 years if you can/do purchase supervisa insurance which is just emergency health insurance. Was answering another post yesterday about a parent on a supervisa who now have stage 4 kidney disease. Child is somehow expecting that the parent can easily transfer to get provincial health insurance. The supervisa is not meant to allow parents to care for longterm/chronic health issues and most hospitals don’t have the capacity absorb these patients especially if they can’t pay upfront for care. The length of supervisas was overly generous and should be reduced because many have confused this as a permanent move when it wasn’t.
