Hello All,

I have applied super visa for my parents during May 2021. Biometrics and upfront medical exam done in May 2021. The status is in progress and they haven't requested anything so far, is there anyone applied on the same time and waiting? kindly let me know I am not sure exactly how long will it take to get the visa in hand.
my mat leave ends this September and our parental leave ends this year, so it would be really helpful if I could get my parents visa before December to get them anytime in case of any emergency.
Kindly advise!


Thank you!

You need to reapply using the new system. Would warn you though that your parents can’t provide childcare when you go back to work. That is considered illegal work.

Thank you and appreciate your reply! I'll have a look into the new system details., but waiting with the existing wont work?
also, my parents are not doing any childcare for me, I have already registered for my kids in the near by daycare and it got approved. They don't have any plan to visit now but what I meant was in case of any unexpected emergency it would be helpful. Hope you got what I mean. thank you!

What kind of activities are not considered to be “work”?


  • unremunerated help by a friend or family member during a visit, such as a mother assisting a daughter with childcare, or an uncle helping his nephew build his own cottage:

You may be misinterpreting the statement. First "assisting" with childcare is just helping out while the parent is there. Assisting is not for the parent to go to work and another family member to look after the child full-time. Also "unremunerated help by a friend or family member during a visit" again means for a visit (a day, a few hours) not full-time care. Full-time care is a paid position.
