Passport request for Super visa while visiting Canada

[Sanavya]

Hi,

My parents came to Canada in July on Tourist visa.
We applied for supervisa while they were in India before coming here.
It got approved in Sep, while there were staying here in Canada for 6 months on Tourist Visa.
We got supervisa stamped on passports by sending those to LA, USA(Due to stamping condition of not being done within Canada)

Now we have stamped Supevisa on Passport. Do we need to flagpole at boarder or visit some other other and come back to activate Supervisa or not?

Kindly advise.

Hey . What you have done for this ? Flagpole is possible to initiate super visa ? Or did they leave canada and re entered ? Please advise

You have to leave and attempt to reenter. It would be best to try to extend on this current visit and next visit initiate the supervisa.

Hi everyone,


I need some clarification regarding passport submission for a Super Visa.

My father’s Super Visa application was processed through India, and he recently received a passport request letter from IRCC. However, he is currently visiting me in Canada.

The letter mentions:

“For Super Visa applications, passports must be submitted to a visa application centre outside Canada for insertion of a visitor visa.”
I understand passports can’t be stamped within Canada, but I read in some posts that it may be possible to send the passport to a VAC in the U.S. (like Los Angeles or New York) for stamping.

Has anyone here successfully done this while their parent was in Canada?
If yes, could you please share your experience — which VAC you used, how you sent it (courier or via a friend), and whether IRCC accepted it without issues?

Thanks in advance for your help!
