Enquiry about Super Visa

[saranya21]

Hello friends

My father-in-law's visitor visa to Canada has been refused four times. The refusal reasons have consistently been:

• The applicant's assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel.
• The purpose of the visit is not consistent with a temporary stay.
• The officer is not satisfied that the applicant will leave Canada at the end of the authorized period of stay.

For context, both of his children (my husband and his sister) are permanent residents living in Canada, so we understand that IRCC may view his family ties as being stronger in Canada than in India.

We are now considering applying for a Super Visa instead of a regular visitor visa. From what I understand, Super Visa applications place more emphasis on the financial capacity of the sponsor(s) in Canada.

Our situation:

Applicant documents available:

• Bank statements
• CA asset certificate
• Fixed deposits (FDs)
• Property documents
• Business ownership/details

Sponsor documents available:

• Notice of Assessment (NOA)
• T4 slips
• Employment letters, paystubs
• Proof of home ownership
• Super Visa medical insurance
• Bank letter showing available funds
• PR cards/passports

My questions are:

1. For a Super Visa application, are the sponsors required to provide bank statements from the last few months, or are NOAs, T4s, employment letters, and pay stubs generally sufficient?
2. Would it help to break an existing FD and transfer additional funds into the applicant's bank account before applying? The FD is also in the name of applicant.
3. For those who have successfully obtained a Super Visa after previous visitor visa refusals, what additional evidence helped address concerns about financial support and ties to the home country?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

1. How many people are the family unit include children, spouse, parent etc? What does NOA state because that is the only document from the Canadian/PR that is counted. It is not job, payslips etc.
2. Read the new rules for applicants.
