After reading your post I saw on cic portal that on July 24 they update that my mom’s biometric is good for next 10 years. That means they are working on my mom’s application as well. Thank you for updates
What did they said in your biometric correspondence letter?? M asking so I will have idea about what will be next step for my mom’s application.

Yes, so first we received correspondence letter which says that our biometric is good for 10 years. Then we received another letter which is Information letter which says that our application is approved. So if you already received correspondence letter then next you should get an approval letter.

Hello @Samy.K , @canuck78 and other members. I am in the process of applying for my mother's Supervisa (who is currently in India) and I have a couple of questions. I would appreciate your response on it :

1) I am a Permanent Resident since April 2019 and my wife is a Canadian citizen. My individual income for the last year pretty much exceeds the LICO. However, should I also attach my wife's NOA to be on a safer side? My invitation letter shows that both me and my wife are inviting my mom to visit us and spend time with us. I am also planning to attach both my and my wife's bank statement to make the case stronger. Do you think this is a good idea?
JC :: YES you can include yours and Spouse NOA for the year 2019

2) My mother does not have any source of income (except for a small amount of monthly provident fund) and I support her financially. Is it ok to show $3K - $4K worth of fixed deposits in her bank account?
JC :: I applied for my mother, I showed 7K recently. Her Super Visa is approved.

3) She owns the apartment where she stays. Hence, I am planning to attach the monthly utility bills, yearly property tax invoices etc. to show her strong ties to India. D you think it will help?
JC :: It should be fine

4) I have read on a few threads about people notarizing the invite letters from lawyers in Canada. Is it a good idea to do this?
JC :: I depends on the VO office , however there is no harm to notarized the invitation letter.As I did notarized for my mother and father Super VIsa application invitation letter.

Lastly, has anyone applied for a supervisa from Mumbai recently? I guess the VFS offices are still closed for the bio-metrics?
JC :: I have no idea about this.

I wish you good luck for your application

Yes. This is helpful. I am planning to show a similar balance in her account. Did she make an FD in the Indian account? Or did she just show it in the savings account?
Lastly, how did they get the biometrics done as the VFS offices in India are closed?

 

[Jack-Can]

My parents shows amount only in savings account . N further we got our biometric done in the month of January this year . Thank you

--> My income was over LICO so I did not include my wife but there is no harm to include her as well.
Suggestion - If you have at least $5000 over the LICO and can show more than $12000 in your own bank account then do not include a wife.

2) My mother does not have any source of income (except for a small amount of monthly provident fund) and I support her financially. Is it ok to show $3K - $4K worth of fixed deposits in her bank account?

---> My parents have a joint account and we showed $6000 in saving account and that worked for us.
If possible show some money in her saving account as well along with the fixed deposit.
Tip - Make sure you do not mention anywhere in your application that she is your dependent or you support her financially.

3) She owns the apartment where she stays. Hence, I am planning to attach the monthly utility bills, yearly property tax invoices etc. to show her strong ties to India. D you think it will help?

---> This is actually not needed, if you really want to do then I would suggest getting the done property evaluation and submit that.
I have done the same, I evaluated the property and submitted the papers.
It cost like 5000-7000 rupees if the property is for like 20 lakhs. It depends on the evaluator, they might charge less as well.

4) I have read on a few threads about people notarizing the invite letters from lawyers in Canada. Is it a good idea to do this?

---> This is not necessary. I have just printed my invitation letter, signed and scanned.

Lastly, has anyone applied for a supervisa from Mumbai recently? I guess the VFS offices are still closed for the bio-metrics?

---> My parents applied from Mumbai but before this pandemic started. I believe they are still closed due to increasing case in India.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need more help. Good luck

Appreciate your inputs!

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy.

I have a query related to my parent's super visa application.

Medical for my parents was already cleared in Mar 2020 and we were waiting for passport request however due to the COVID19 travel ban, processing got stopped.

I have read on this IRCC link (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html#existing) that:

If you are eligible to travel to Canada this time then email us and we’ll contact you within 5 business days of getting your email and tell you what to do next.

My question is, has anyone done this to get the decision on their parents' application?

Thank you.

You can send email with the details they are asking for. We did sent the email for my parents supervisa and after that they have received the medicals and approval as well. I recommend you can send email so you could get an approval letter.
