Hi there, planning to apply for my parents’ super visa this weekend after their visitor visa got rejected last Oct. All documents are pretty much ready including their CA certificate, property docs, bank statement, etc, as well as my income docs which are well above LICO requirements. Would a few of you help answer some questions since I’m applying myself and not through a consultant:

1. Did you guys use the old IRCC portal or new one?
2. Was it just standard reason of spending family time and tourism for 6-12 months?
3. If any of you had previous visa rejections, how and where did you address this on the application? Was it on the cover letter too?
1. Old portal
2. Yes. I just put that they will be coming and staying with me for few months and we'll go explore hotspots in Canada (banf, lake Louise etc)
3. Was my first application
 
I haven't heard anything back after this. Did you guys' parents have previous applications with IRCC or US visitor visa? It's my parents' first ever application with IRCC. I'm wondering if that's the reason for the difference

Processing in most cases takes many months. Either your application gets processed by primarily AI or has to be manually processed which takes significantly longer. It is far less common to get processed within a month versus many months. Things that may lead to faster processing are previous visits and return home without any immigration problems to Canada or other 5 Is countries, history of significant international travel, high level of personal savings, traveling without all dependent family members, being employed, short visit duration, etc.

Hi everyone,

Is anyone still waiting for the PPR for the application in April 2026? I applied for the Super visa for my parents on April 3rd, 2026. They did receive biometrics and medical pretty soon, and my mother even got the PPR by 15th May. But my father's application has made no progress so far. He did receive an additional medical check, and the profile says he passed medical on 26th May.
Anyone on the same boat?

Hi everyone,
I am preparing a Super Visa application for my mother (I am her biological son) to be submitted now in late 2026. I have a question regarding the document submission strategy for a host with zero income and a co-signing spouse who qualifies for multiple years.
Our household breakdown:
  • Household Size: 5 people total (Me, my wife, our 2 children + my mother as the applicant).
  • Current LICO Requirement: $64,336 for a 5-person household.
  • My Situation (Primary Host): I was unemployed during 2024 and 2025, so my Notices of Assessment (NOAs) for both years show $0.
  • My Wife's Situation (Co-Signer): She has stable income over the last 4 years. Her individual income is $75,000, meaning she comfortably clears the 5-person LICO threshold on her own for both the 2024 and 2025 tax years.
Our Application Plan:
  1. I will be the Primary Host on the invitation letter because I am the biological child.
  2. My wife will join the application as the Financial Co-Signer so we can combine our household income.
  3. We plan to use the 2025 tax year to officially qualify, showing a combined household total of $75,000 ($0 from me + $75,000 from her).
My Questions for the Forum:
  • Since IRCC rules state hosts must meet the income requirement in "either one of the two taxation years preceding the time of application", should we only submit our 2025 NOAs (since we qualify that year)? Or is it safer to submit both 2024 and 2025 NOAs for both of us, since my wife actually clears the threshold for both years?
  • Will my $0 NOA trigger any red flags or an automatic refusal for the year we use to qualify, even though my co-signing spouse's individual income easily covers the entire 5-person household limit by itself?
  • Does the fact that I had zero income for two consecutive years change how the visa officer evaluates our file, or do they strictly look at whether the combined household unit hits the LICO line for the single chosen qualifying year?
I want to make sure I am providing exactly what the visa officer needs without creating unnecessary document clutter. Any insights or past experiences with a similar setup would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
