Question on Super visa for Parents

[teodinho]

Hey guys,

I do need help with some questions I have about super visa for my parents:

1. My parents will be traveling for the first time (internationally), and to help make their experience smooth, I am looking to get a sibling to accompany them just this time, especially in cases where they need to communicate with others or some running around while in transit. My sibling is young (below 30), but currently have a tie (work related) back home. Is this going to be an issue?
2. Where my parents will only stay during summer months when they visit, will insurance companies reimburse the months they aren't here for, since I have heard one needs to pay for an entire year at a time?
3. For the income requirement, is this the amount needed in my account or salary per year?
4. Since they'll be here less then 6 months whenever they visit, do they still need to complete the IRCC medical exam?
5. What are some things I should consider that will better represent their home tie? Mum currently operates a small/petty business, and dad does not do any businesses or work.

Thanks.

1. He can apply but nothing to do with your parents. If single then always more difficult if only tie is job. Needs to show own funds, absolute ties to return, and strong travel history.
2. Ask your insurance company since they have supervisa.
3. Funds for what members? Brother shows own funds. You say parents are travelling so making assumption supervisa has been approved with your NOA.
4. If outside Canada for more than 6 months they may be asked for proof.
5. Ties to return are job letters with approved leave, business registration, income properties etc. So mom shows business registration, client list, taxes paid etc. Dad has no ties.

Request wheel chair service

There’s no need for a sibling to accompany them

Please only request wheelchairs if actually disabled and mobility challenged. It is not a free taxi service. People request this for their parents but then some disabled people actually end up waiting for an available wheelchair and attendant. It is often a huge problem for people who need the service because of actual disability.

2. You do need to buy 1 year of insurance coverage, but you can cancel the policy and get a refund for the remainder of the coverage period (pro-rated refund based on the number of days following the day insured people leave Canada - a copy of their boarding pass will be required as proof, of course).

With most insurance providers, you can only be eligible for a refund if you don't use the policy aka don't make claims. There is at least one that would still refund even if you do have a claim though.

With monthly payment plans its a bit more convoluted, but basically you can get your initial deposit (1-2 months) back depending on how long your parents stay in Canada exactly. Date of departure is also an important factor here since if your parents leave anytime after the start of the covered month, that monthly payment would automatically become non-refundable. So, depending on the insurance provider you go with rules will be different.

Please only request wheelchairs if actually disabled and mobility challenged. It is not a free taxi service.

I am aware of wheelchair abuse at airports

I pushed those wheelchairs for close to 30 years at Toronto airport

If they need assistance in the airport, and the sibling won’t get a visa , and they can’t get a visa , and they can’t speak English then yes , requesting a wheelchair is an option

I’ve put in requests for this exact situation

So until you’ve actually pushed a wheelchair in an airport , or dealt with passengers off COUNTLESS cancelled flights, or dealt with passengers who are now irate because of missing luggage , dealt with a aircraft returning with an engine on fire , or have seen a man go into cardiac arrest in front of you while you’re checking them in and subsequently dying , or have passengers threaten to kill you and actually attempt to grab your neck tie to strangle you ,or have to talk with families who’ve lost someone in an airplane crash , or have lost family members in the 9/11 and now need to arrange transportation for them to NYC , I think I’ll continue recommending what I posted

Special mention to having to speak to family members when a loved one has died on a inbound aircraft, and the body is still on said aircraft

Or when cargo has accidentally misplaced cargo coded as N-9 ( human remains) and having to deal with that


Thanks anyway

As someone who has had to wait for a wheelchair to become available with someone who has a disability and had no other option I also have the right to point out that nobody should be encouraged to abuse this privilege.
