Hello, I am now a permanent resident and I want to bring my parents to live in Canada. They're in Costa Rica at the moment.
It is my understanding that one requirement for sponsorship is to have three years of Canadian taxes done. Since I just became a permanent resident, it means I cannot apply at all until after three years, right?
... so meanwhile, I have considered a Super Visa. I don't really understand the concept: everyone says that it is valid for 10 years, but it only serves for 2 years? What? What does that even mean? Can they live in Canada for 10 years? For 2 years? What happens after 2 years? Do they have to return to Costa Rica? Then what, they cannot return until 8 years later? I don't get it.
