Dear fellas,

I would like to apply for my father's super visa (I love him so much). My father is 70 years old and is a widow and I am his only child. Please asses the following points and give me your inputs on whether they can be helpful in his super visa.

Positive points:
1.) My father has a lifetime pension plan (it is not a huge amount, but still an average for my home country)
2.) He has a free lifetime healthcare provided by the government of my country
3.) He has around 70,000 CAD in his bank account in form of fixed deposits and around 18,000 CAD in savings.
4.) I meet the lower income threshold (earning 60,000 CAD annually)
5.) He does have a small property but the name in the property papers is considerably different than his passport, so I might not submit those documents

Now, can his savings, pension and free healthcare be considered as ties to the home country given that he is a single parent with no other offsprings and no job (since he is retired)?

I am sorry for quoting you explicitly. I have seen your responses to situations like this on multiple threads. Please see if you could advise me. Thanks :) @canuck_in_uk @Bryanna @legalfalcon

He seems more than OK but read what they need from aSponsor=you and an Applicant= Father :-

Your father as an applicant; must have medical insurance[ you will buy for him] from a Canadian insurance company that is:

valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry, at least $100,000 coverage, have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)

He as an applicant must apply for a super visa from outside Canada,be allowed to enter Canada, take an immigration medical exam, meet certain other conditions, can’t include dependants in this application.


Financial support (proof of funds) for you the Sponsor;-

The child or grandchild who invites you[the Applicant] must prove that their household meets the minimum necessary income. The following documents are examples of what can be used as proof of funds:


Notice of Assessment (NOA) or T4/T1 for the most recent tax year, Employment Insurance stubs

employment letter including salary and date of hiring, pay stubs, bank statements

Other conditions;-

Several things before they decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of your visit.

When did you move to Canada? You will need an NOA showing proof that you have earned more than LICO in Canada. The salary the you will earn doesn’t work.

An NOA is not required for a super visa. Other income proofs can be submitted, such as a job letter, pay stubs and bank statements.

Many who have posted on this forum have been refused if they don’t submit an NOA. Technically not needed but in reality it is needed. Also people need to show they have earned LICO not that they have the potential to earn LICO if they continue to work. You can try to submit without NOA but if you get refused that could be one of the reasons.

Thanks @singleman. Yep, I will keep them in consideration
 
Thanks @canuck_in_uk and @canuck78. I do have a NOA, but it is only of 3 months of income. I do have a good bank balance in Canada as well as in my home country. Hopefully, all that bank balance might help.

Your earnings in Canada is what will be counted. Have you earned the LICO amount in Canada? You can always apply and see if you are accepted or refused.

Bank balance doesn't matter. You can use statements to show your income being deposited.
