To reply to your questions:

The income requirements is your income not your parents, this could be the notice of assessment you received from CRA when you filed your tax return.

Here is what is meant by documenting ties to their home country.

If you are submitting an application by yourself, document your parents and/or grandparents ties to their country of origin. Ties to the country of origin can include but not limited to the following:

a home in the home country;

a spouse or common-law partner or dependents who stayed in the home country;

personal property in the home country, such as a car or furniture; and social ties in home country.

The other factor that is often taken into consideration is if your parent(s) and/or grandparent(s) have traveled for business or pleasure to other counties.

They can also include memberships or affiliations in religious organizations or charities and NGO's.

This cannot be just a letter you need to produce the actual documents. It is time consuming and can be complicated that is why some people hire a representative like the law firm hosting this site, they charged $1,000.00 to one of my clients and they were very happy with their services. You can do it yourself many of my clients have but depending on circumstances it often pays to use a professional. Mr. Cohen has done a lot for immigrants to Canada he is very well know by Citizen and Immigration Canada as one of the leading experts in his field.

For insurance I can help you it is not as simple as just getting a quote based on age from a rate sheet, there are other considerations and not many brokers or insurance companies have developed expertise in this field. Plus it does not cost anything to use my services the rates are the same regardless of the channel you choose to purchase medical insurance from.

Hope this help and good luck.
Gary

I called up CIC call centre to ask the same. I was told it is a 2 step process:

1. Step 1 is to apply for an extension of stay (the super visa kind)
2. Once your extension of stay is approved, apply for a TRV via the US

#2 did not make sense to me. Mostly because it states on the CIC website that visitors to canada can no longer send TRV applications to US offices.

I am in the same boat since my mother-in-laws visitor permit is expiring. My plan is to apply for the authorized period of extended stay for now. She has already had 2 extensions of her visitor permit so i'm a little worried applying the third time but since this will be based on super visa and include all of those documents, i'm hopeful it will be fine and an extension will be issued.

Hey all, I applied for my parents' super visa on 26th June 2013 through VFS Islamabad, Pakistan. Today I got their Passports back with medical forms and have got an appointment for their medical on 6th August. Now I wonder once the medical is done how am I to send the passports back to CHC Islamabad for visa. The IOM guy told me that I have to send passports again through VFS Islamabad. But how does one send passports only through VFS while the rest of the application is with CHC Islamabad. VFS people were also clueless about it. There is no guidance regarding this anywhere. Does anyone know anything about it?

VFS should have given you guidance since they received your application first time and gave you back your PP. You submitted PP along with original application to VFS in the first place, and they reached CHC before, right? It should happen again then.

I didn't apply in Pakistan; but in my opinion and experience, you should give your parents' PP back to VFS once they're done with medicals.

Thankyou Rossei for your reply but the question is whether I am to submit passport when directed by CHC or just after medical.

This query is about Tourist visa and not super visa.

I am a permanent resident of canada since 2011. My mother came from india on a tourist visa 4 months ago. Now I want to extend her visa for another six months in Canada. Do i need to buy a medical insurance for her tourist visa renewal. It is mentioned on the checklist to get medical insurance for one year for parents or grandparents. She is 72 years old.


Would appreciate if somebody have gone through this process or situation and can guide me

thanks you

In my case, I dropped my mom's passport at VFS-Bangladesh as soon as she was done with her medical exam. But, I was directed by them to do so when they gave us her passport & medical.

First I would like to answer some of the questions.

Yes a person can apply for a super visa while in Canada I have done lots of these and it is actually easier to apply for a super visa within Canada then country of origin.

Secondly for insurance I deal with seven insurance companies that offer super visa travel insurance the majority offer a zero deductible option but not companies offer the same level of coverage. For those that want peace of mind with underwriting at time of application instead of post claim underwriting there is only one company that I deal with that is doing this at this time.

To get a quote please visit my web site www.stone-hedgefinancialgroup.ca

I deal with seven companies at this time for super visa medical travel insurance.

I will be happy to assist you just leave a message on the contact page.

Be sure to visit my news and media page on travel insurance and the problems people have faced with post claim underwriting with some insurers.
