Supervisa - Proof of Income

[bnacanadaus]

Hi-
My parents will be applying for Supervisa in next few weeks. I am Canadian citizen and working in US on H1B (regular travel between Detroit, MI and Windsor, ON).
For proof of income, I can attach most recent CRA Notice of Assessment, W2 from US employer and last 4 paystubs from US employer.
I wonder if these documents are enough and acceptable (especially since they are from US employer)?
Anyone in similar situation and got success?
Thanks

Only NOA is considered. IRCC will not accept US payslips.

Are you actually living full-time in Canada? Agree that US employment and salary information not helpful for supervisa.

Yes in Canada. I will just go for NOA.

Yes in Canada. I will just go for NOA.

The US income may still be a problem.

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. I see some people here in Windsor, doing similar daily commutes to Detroit for work, getting supervisas for parents.
Hopefully this should go smooth.

The US income may still be a problem.

Here is another caveat!
My individual NOAs for 2022 and 2023 report annual incomes exceeding $120,000 each. The 2024 individual NOA, however, shows an income of just under $50,000. This reduction was due to a special six-month assignment requiring residence in the US, resulting in only a partial year of income being filed in my individual return, as advised by our accountant.
My wife's 2024 NOA also reflects an income of just under $50,000. Combined, our joint household income for 2024 totals approximately $100,000.
Question: For proof of income section; submitting my 2022, 2023, and 2024 NOAs, the 2024 document will show a significant income reduction. However, I can combine both of ours (mine and wife's) 2024 NOAs to show $100k income to meet the LICO. and just do not upload the 2022 and 2023 NOAs?
Is this fine to proceed?

Supervisa only counts the last year so 2024. Yes, she can support and combine incomes.

Regarding the income, I am actually planning to mention below in letter of invitation to clarify why 2024 NOA shows little income (even though combined income in NOA 2024 is over the minimum required).

"I am employed by ABC Company in Detroit, MI, USA, and earn an annual salary of $100,000. I regularly commute across the border between Detroit, MI, USA and Windsor, ON, Canada for work. My wife is employed by XYZ Company in Troy, MI, USA.
Due to a special assignment, we resided in the United States for six months during the 2024 tax year before returning to Canada. This temporary relocation resulted in a reduced amount of taxable Canadian income for 2024, as reflected in the attached 2024 NOA.
I have included all of my pay stubs for the 2024 calendar year, along with my four most recent pay stubs from 2025. I have also attached my W‑2 forms and NOAs from the past three years."
Would this level of clarification be sufficient to address any concerns related to my income?

Do you meet LICO or not. You MUST meet LICO. Will you meet LICO for 2025? Saying you resided in the US for 6 months and have reduced Canadian income. doesn't help your care.

Yes. If my wife and I combine our 2024 NOAs, income is just over $84k (which is over minimum LICO for family of 5). So that is good.

$84k represents earnings for only a six‑month period. When annualized, my income exceeds $100,000, which I intended to present to ensure there is no ambiguity regarding my eligibility under the income requirement.

If your 2024 NOA meets LICO then submit that. Not sure why you need to complicate things by saying you weren't living in Canada. Your choice.

The government doesn't annualize earnings. Include your 2024 NOA's and leave it at that. Explanations lead to further questions (like are you actually living in Canada full time). Don't over complicate the issue.

So, in IRCC portal, under the "Proof of Income" section, do I only need to attach the 2024 NOAs (mine and my wife's)?
Nothing else is needed I assume since my work is not in Canada?
