Hi everyone,

I have some questions about Super Visa.

1. Is it I must work in Canada at least 1 year then only can apply Super Visa for my mum?
It's not 'MUST'; but it's required most times. Canadian Visa Offices in most countries would require recent year's NOA (Notice of Assessment) issued by CRA to prove that you meet LICO. If you work for 6 months; you may not meet the LICO. Besides, if you work less (2~3 months) in a year; CIC may not feel comfortable thinking that you have just started working and there may be probation period in your employment terms. But if your less than one year income (NOA or T4 whichever is required by your local visa office checklist) meets LICO satisfactorily; you may still apply.

2. Is there anyone apply for it even though not yet reach the minimum income requirement?
Probably not. But I'm not sure.

3. Is there anyone can share how to write a proper letter to Visa Officer?
This has my own "Invitation Letter" and "Declaration of Support" (not necessarily you have to provide both, you can choose either/both formats): http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/supervisa-from-bangladesh-t93529.0.html;msg1778669#msg1778669

Yes, I think so.

You, your spouse & all dependents + parent(s) your're inviting = Total Family Size for LICO

This doesn't fall in TRV>Visitors>Super Visa category. You should look in Family Class Sponsorship forum topic.

If 'job' is not a must; 'income' indeed is. The sponsoring child has to prove that s/he meets LICO (low income cut-off). The proof is normally recent year's NOA (Notice of Assessment), issued by CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) once you file your tax return.

Super visa or visit visa ? which one is easier to get? besides the duration of stay and longevity of the visa, what are the major differences between the two? pros and cons?

Would appreciate if someone could help me out with answers of above queries.
Thanks.
