Valid Passport: Ensure the applicant has a valid passport as a primary requirement for any visa application.
Importance of SOP (Statement of Purpose): Many people mistakenly believe that the SOP is unnecessary. However, it is an essential document that can make or break your visa application. A poorly written SOP can lead to rejection.
Prospect of Returning Home: A major factor in visa approval is showing the visa officer that you will return to your home country after your visit. This can be demonstrated through:
- Career ties (current job or business).
- Educational ties (studies ongoing or planned).
- Family ties (upcoming events like weddings or births that will require you to return).
Reason for Travel:
- Don’t just say “I want to go there.” Present a specific reason for your travel (attending an event, visiting family, etc.).
- If you can showcase an event, like a family member’s birthday or a special occasion, it strengthens your application.
- Even if you don’t have a specific event, make sure your travel purpose is clear.
Super Visa Specifics:
- A Super Visa is a temporary visa, not a permanent residency application.
- Show the same aspects: financial capacity, reasons for the visit, and strong ties to your home country.
Financial Capacity: Ensure you demonstrate you have the financial means to support yourself during your stay. This can include bank statements, proof of income, etc.
Career and Status: Highlight your professional and educational background to show your stability and ties to your home country.
Do Not Skip SOP: Whether applying for a visitor visa, super visa, or study visa, do not submit an application without a well-written SOP. A good SOP explains your intent and reasons for travel and reinforces your commitment to returning home.
Avoid Bizarre SOPs: I’ve seen many bizarre SOPs that do not reflect the applicant’s actual intent. Even if you meet all other requirements, a bad SOP can result in refusal.
Temporary Visa Reminder: Keep in mind that a Super Visa or any temporary visa is not the same as applying for PR (permanent residency). These visas are for short-term visits, and your application should reflect that.
Submit a Complete Application: Always submit a complete application, including all necessary documents and a well-prepared SOP. A good SOP significantly improves your chances of approval.
Final Tip: Do not risk a visa refusal by neglecting your SOP. Submitting a good SOP demonstrates your genuine intent and preparedness, boosting your chances of approval.

1.2 How long applicant can stay in Canada on super Visa ?
1.2.1 Super Visa Holder Can Stay for 5 years in one go
when you apply for visitor Visa once you enter in Canada you can stay in Canada for 6 months if it is a multiple entry Visa even if it is single entry Visa if it is single entry visa for one month or so if you get a shorter permit in that case you can stay for the legitimate period mentioned on your permit if that is not the case usually parents get 10 years of multiple entry Visa it happens with parents so parents don’t face that kind of problem that they are getting a shorter Visa because they may require to visit multiple times so they don’t face the new rules new issues where people are getting shorter visitor Visa so you they get 10 years of multiple entry visa and they can stay for 6 months in one stretch then they can apply for an extension and we usually apply for an extension of 6 months it becomes 11 to 12 months of period they can stay we can again apply for an extension but it is up to usually we get one extension quite easily but later on it’s up to the Visa officer whether they accept your reasoning of staying in Canada whether you need to take care of kids or something but in the case of parents Visa officers are to give you visa and you can get the extension as well it is very much possible usually we get first extension quite easily second extension is also possible but it all depends on the Visa officer but as per rule you can stay in Canada in one stretch for 6 months that is the case of visitor Visa but if you are taking a super Visa once you enter in Canada you can stay in Canada for five years in one go in one stretch you don’t require to leave even if you want to leave you can go and you can come back you can go out of of Canada and you can come back it’s on your wish they are not going to force you to leave for 5 years you can stay in Canada inside Canada for 5 years in one go that is allowed to you.
1.2.2 Can Visit multiple times as well
It is allowed or you can stay in Canada in one stretch for 5 years that is also allowed so that is a great thing for you you don’t require to leave the country it’s a great great thing because that is a facility Canada is giving you when you apply for super visa when you get the super Visa.
It is just like a visitor Visa but you don’t require to leave no need to leave the country after 6 months – that’s the facility you are getting on super visa so it’s the big brother of visitor Visa you can say that where you are getting a longer period to stay in Canada that’s the facility.
you can get PR as well so there is a lottery system of PR now it is on halt but yes it may come back soon so you can get PR of Canada as well as parent you can get the pr it is a lottery base of system where the host your son or daughter who is having the pr of Canada citizenship of Canada they can sponsor you to get the pr of Canada yes it can be done so during those 5 years of your stay in Canada it is possible that you can get PR but it is kind of a lottery based system where you need to meet the certain requirement to get the pr as a parent so even you can also get the permanent residency but till the time you don’t get the permanent residency this super Visa is the second best visa for you because it allows you to stay in Canada for a longer period
1.3 Special Documents Needed
There are two special type of documents which you require in case of super Visa which are not required in visitor Visa
- Medical
- Health Insurance
1.3.1 Medical
Medical which is required for any Visa of Canada where the length of the Visa is greater than 6 months then you require medical from a panel doctor from anywhere in the world you can do it anywhere in the world it can be in UA it can be in India Pakistan wherever it is wherever you are staying you can complete this medical from any panel doctor so list is given by ircc we can also share the list with you it’s not a problem so whenever you apply with us we are going to share it with you so you can do it anywhere in the word and we can proceed for the application in fact whenever you extend your visitor Visa inside Canada and you want to stay for more than 6 months then also you’re required to submit your medical so whenever you are willing to stay for more than 6 months in Canada you required to do the medical and initially when you apply for visitor Visa you don’t require it because they want you to stay in Canada for 6 months only maximum of 6 months only but when you try to submit your extension application they will always ask you to submit your medical examination so it will be required if you are going to extend your visitor visa and where you want to stay for more than 6 months and in this case because the length of this Visa is 5 years or you apply for study Visa or you apply for work permit where the length is more than 6 months in that case they will ask you medical so medical is one document which is different from a visitor visa application so medical will be required
1.3.2 Health insurance
Health insurance of at least 1 lakh Canadian dollar per applicant so if you are applying for both the parents then in that case you require $1 lakh for one parent $1 lakh for parent one parent two separate $1 lakh health insurance is required so $1 lakh for this parent and $1 lakh for second parent it is going to be combinely 2 lakh Canadian dollar so it will be required don’t confus that don’t make it $50,000 for each parent no it is separate for this parent separate for for this parent in combination it is going to be $2 lakh but usually you get separate health insurance for both the parents $1 lakh for mother $1 lakh for father so that’s how it is going to happen it is a really crucial document we can help you in getting this document as well you should take this health insurance from inside Canada because in case of any emergency any medical visit or any issue happened with your parents their age is usually 50 55 60 so they can face any kind of medical emergency in Canada you should take it from Canada.
When selecting health insurance for your parents traveling to Canada, it’s essential to ensure you choose a plan that provides flexibility and comprehensive coverage. Here are the key points to consider when discussing and purchasing the insurance:
- Choose the Start Date: Ensure that the insurance provider allows you to select the exact start date of the coverage. For instance, if you’re planning for your parents to travel to Canada in May 2025, the insurance should start from that month.
- Flexibility to Change Start Date: It’s important to have the ability to change the start date if plans change. For example, if you initially choose May but later decide to travel in June, you should be able to adjust the start date without complications.
- Month-to-Month Payment Option: Ideally, you should have the option to pay on a month-to-month basis, allowing you to adjust the coverage as your parents’ travel plans evolve.
- Ability to Stop Anytime: The insurance should offer the ability to cancel the coverage at any time, especially if your parents decide to stay for a shorter duration than planned.
- Pay for Only 2 Months to Secure One-Year Coverage: Some insurance companies may allow you to pay for the first two months (about $300 CAD), and you will be covered for a full year. This option reduces your financial risk if travel plans change or if you decide not to use the insurance after your parents’ Visa is approved.
- Refund in Case of Visa Refusal: It’s critical to confirm that if the Visa is refused, the entire amount you paid for insurance will be refunded. This is an essential protection for your financial investment.
- Refund Upon Cancellation: If the Visa is approved but your parents decide not to travel, there should be a refund policy in place. Typically, there would be a small deduction (e.g., $120 to $150) for administrative costs, and the rest of the amount would be refunded.
- Flexibility in Postponing Travel: If plans change and your parents decide to travel at a later date, ensure that you can adjust the start date of the insurance coverage to match the new travel schedule.
- Thorough Coverage: Make sure the insurance plan covers all possible scenarios, such as medical emergencies, accidents, and any medical treatments required during their stay in Canada. Medical bills in Canada can be very high, so having robust insurance is crucial to avoid financial burdens in case of unexpected health issues.
- Insurance as Protection: Don’t select insurance just for the purpose of meeting Visa requirements. Choose a good-quality insurance plan that provides adequate coverage and peace of mind. It’s important that the insurance offers flexibility in terms of changing dates, canceling, or refunding the premium if your parents’ travel plans change.
- Discuss Terms in Advance: Before purchasing, have a clear discussion with the insurance company to ensure all the above aspects are covered. Confirm their refund policy, flexibility in adjusting the start date, and how easy it is to change or cancel coverage if your travel plans shift.
Health insurance for parents traveling to Canada is a crucial part of their travel plan. By choosing the right insurance, you’re not only ensuring compliance with Visa requirements but also safeguarding your parents against any unforeseen medical costs while they are in Canada. Make sure to select a plan that provides flexibility, comprehensive coverage, and a clear refund policy, so you’re not left with financial complications should plans change.
1.4 What kind of documents are required
1.4.1 Invitation letter from the host
Invitation letter from the host and it can include so host is going to be suppose I am calling my parents then I will be the host so only I am going to give invitation letter and if my wife is calling the parents in that case my wife is going to give invitation letter so the invitation letter will be issued by the host who is calling the parents but it can include the details of both the host so I can include the income of my wife my wife can include the income of me as well in the invitation letter because when the income is counted income is counted for both husband and wife.
so you can include the details of both the host in that and you need to share the applicants detail with their age and all the other details and family size family size means if I am having two daughters then my family size is four and I am calling two parents on superva now the family size become six and I need to share the income detail as well which is meeting the income requirement for six people which we have discussed earlier so I need to share all the details in my invitation letter and I should be sponsoring my parents as well that I am ready to sponsor my parents for super visa and this is the income requirement of my family and I am meeting the income requirement that should be there in the invitation letter
1.4.2 PR and income proofs of the host
PR in Canada then I need to provide my PR proofs my citizenship proofs and my income documents as well income documents can include my offer letter salary slips my tax receipts in the previous years so I can include all those things and it is going to there for the both host husband and wife wife because that makes the complete family income so income requirement of both the host and PR documents PR proofs of them next is
1.4.3 Job or business proofs of the applicants
If your parents are working in that case you need to add the proofs of the parents as well Financial proofs including liquid funds many people feel that superva is just like a PR application objective application we don’t require to show funds because we are proving the income requirement no still you should show your best liquid funds best finan IAL capacity it always improves your Visa chances and it is declared in the guidelines of ircc as well so do not miss this particular thing it is quite important show as much as funds possible we are going to discuss about funds as well there is no clear guideline given but you should show the best funds available with you more the better older the better is the motto I am having in terms of funds so you should give the financial proofs including liquid funds.
1.4.4 Relationship proof between the host and applicant
Suppose I am calling my parents then how I I’m going to prove that they are my parents so I can have my passport which is having the name of my parents that’s how the relationship can be established that is required to be submitted
1.4.5 Valid passport and SoP
1.5 Can I work in Canada on super visa ?
No you cannot work on super Visa it is like a visitor Visa but you can stay for a longer period that’s it once you get the pr of Canada then you can do whatever you want to do but before getting your PR you cannot work on super Visa you can just stay with your kids.
1.6 Can I apply super visa from inside Canada
No you need to be outside Canada to apply for super Visa from inside Canada you can apply for a visitor Visa you can extend your visitor Visa but to get your super Visa you need to be outside Canada so if you are already inside Canada you are on visitor Visa your kids have received PR now and you want to convert it into Super Visa then you should go back go out of Canada it can be any country outside Canada and then you should apply for super visa and then you should enter on super Visa inside Canada so you cannot apply for super Visa visa from inside Canada no matter on what visa you are in Canada if
you want to some people do that they try to extend their visitor Visa in super Visa that is not allowed you should not do it you are not going to get super Visa rather than that you are going to get a visitor visa extension.
so ideally you should apply for super visa from outside Canada and if you are already inside Canada on visitor Visa then you should apply for the extension of visitor visa and if you just want to get super Visa only then leave Canada apply for super visa and get your super visa and travel to Canada that’s how you should do it

1.8 Do I need a PCC for super Visa
No neither for visitor Visa nor for super Visa you don’t require a PCC don’t worry about it you don’t require to submit that
1.9 How much funds are needed
- No Guidelines
- MORE the Better, OLDER the Better
1.9.1 No Guidelines
There are no clear guidelines given for the funds but usually what I recommend for each parent at least you should have $5,000 Canadian dollars
1.9.2 MORE the Better, OLDER the Better
The motto always remember that whenever you apply for any Visa of any developed country more the better older the better remember that so more the better means if it is like $10,000 per applicant 15 20 304 $15,000 then it is always going to be better but if it is not there at least try to show $5,000 because whenever you are going to present your case then you can show that okay I am visiting there for a shorter period and I’m going to leave my kids and if I am leaving with my kids I don’t have expenses to stay there and mostly my expenses are going to be below $5,000 only if I am visiting for one month only so that’s how it is Justified that I have the required Financial capacity the funds available with me and my kids so you can combine your funds in Canada you can combine uh your funds in the Home Country combining everything it should be more than 5,000 per applicant usually it happens usually it happens if you are already in Canada you must be having some Savings in Canada you are already having a PR so some savings must be there and uh your parents must be having some funds as well it shows their establishment in the Home Country their Prospect of returning home their financial establishment everything is established with that so show some funds
1.10 Where to Show Funds?
I have already shared with you so it can be in the account of parents it can be in the account of uh the host you can show it this way
1.11 What if Old Funds are Not Available?
In that case you can make a fixed deposit or transfer the funds to Canada then means fixed deposit on the name of parents or you can deposit them in their savings account and you can take a balance certificate and you can submit it with the application or you can transfer the funds to Canada as well usually we don’t require to do it usually people have this much of fund available and most of the people are are aware that they require to have at least this much of fund available that they are able to get their flight tickets and all those kind of expenses so that should be there so even if you don’t have anything older in terms of funds in that case you can make a fixed deposit of the funds available and we can submit the fixed deposit FD certificate that I am having so and so funds available per applicant $5,000 or more are fine to proceed with if you are able to show more that is always always good
1.12 Can I withdraw Funds during Visa Processing?
No, many people are there who try to become over smart here and they are like yeah see I deposited the funds and took the balance certificate withdraw the fund and submitted that balance certificate for my Visa application many people do it for study Visa visitor Visa spouse visa and the they they are kind of playing with fire.
- Fake Funds in Visa Application: If you submit fake funds in a visa application, it can result in a 5-year ban.
- Impact on You and Your Parents: Even if your parents receive a ban, it may affect your future visa applications, such as for PR renewal or citizenship.
- Indirect Impact on Future Applications: Being involved in illegal activities could affect your future PR or citizenship applications due to misrepresentation.
- Direct Consequence for Parents: Your parents will receive a 5-year ban if funds are withdrawn after submitting a balance certificate.
