Canada primary objective in immigration policies is family reunification. Many Canadian citizens and permanent residents wish to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada. Canada has established pathways, such as the Canada Super Visa and the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), for them to reunite with their beloved senior family members. While PGP is exclusively drafted for them to be permanent residents and it is not easily accessible, as the applicants are selected based on the lottery system and limited intake. On the other hand, the Super visa is an alternative for inviting parents and grandparents for an extended stay.
In Croyez Immigration, we provide guidance to turn an immigration dream into reality. We help the clients to choose the desired pathway according to their needs, whether it is for a Super visa or permanent sponsorship.
Get to know about the Super Visa
The Super visa is a pathway that allows eligible parents and grand
parents to travel to Canada and reside with their family for an extended period. The applicants children or grandchildren must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. While acquiring a super visa, they do not need to reapply again and again, as the duration provided for the super visa is five years. While the standard tourist visa provides only a six-month validated stay, the super visa provides a five-year validated stay. And also, the visa holders can apply to extend their stay for an additional two years, which allows them to stay in Canada for seven years as a whole.
This program is very beneficial for Indian families, as we always wish our parents and grandparents to be present with us and seek their blessing for every celebration, including events like birthdays, graduations, marriage and also to cherish everyday family time.
Croyez Immigration supports families to unite with loved ones
Though the Super visa is a part of family reunification, the process for securing one can be daunting and troublesome due to its complex steps. The applicant cannot single-handedly handle all the factors like documentation, medical examination, insurance requirements and tracking of updates. This is where you have to join hands with Croyez Immigration, a trusted immigration firm, to handle the super visa. We have got highest success rates for processing the super visas, providing personalised guidance. We ensure accurate and thorough assistance to increase the chances of the application.
Why Choose the Super Visa over PGP?
The Parents and Grandparents Program have some limitations, even offering permanent residency for parents and grandparents. It is solely based on a lottery system, and the applicants who have submitted their interest in sponsorship in 2020 are eligible to participate in the lottery and to receive current rounds of invitations. Even having every eligibility by fulfilling the requirements, the uncertainty many sponsors find in an unclear path to unite with their loved ones.
On the other hand, the Super visa applicants enjoy the immediate joy of reunification with their families in Canada and can also extend their stay. The prospective sponsors also find it a possible way to stay with parents and grandparents. And also, this visa is conducted on a year-round basis and not a lottery basis. The applicants can apply anytime while they meet the visa requirements. Furthermore, the processing time for the Super visa applications is shorter when compared to PGP applications, where it takes more than three years.
Croyez Immigration helps the applicant navigate smoothly through the immigration process, eliminating the emotional and financial stress during the process. Our expert team will ensure accurate documentation and work quickly with the process, as we have successfully acquired numerous super visas.
Are you the Sponsor for Super visa? Know your Eligibility
The Sponsor for parents and grandparents under the Super Visa must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has set the rules for sponsors, which state that the sponsor must be at least 18 years of age or above and must also meet the financial requirements. They must be eligible under the Low-income cut-off; the numbers vary depending on the size of the family.
Sponsors must define their financial eligibility by submitting various documents and papers to support their family member’s stay in Canada. Those documents include Notices of Assessment from Canada Revenue Agency, employment letters, bank statements, pay stubs, T4 and T1 slips.
Croyez Immigration helps the applicants understand the tricky rules and eligibility to apply for the visa. We assist in calculating the eligibility of the applicants based on the LICO guideline and help to easily gather the income-related documents to increase the chances.
Super Visa Requirements for the applicants
Parents and grandparents applying for the super visa must further fulfil other requirements to be eligible for the visa. The applicant must be present outside Canada and apply from there for the visa. They must also purchase medical insurance from an approved international insurer by complying with the Canadian medical policy, which should cover the specified amount. This is to cover any medical emergency like healthcare, hospitalisation and repatriation for at least one year. They must also have a clean criminal and medical record to get a smooth, admissible entry into Canada. The medical assessment is a standard requirement; hence, the applicant must undergo an assessment during application submission.
Croyez Immigration serves beyond paperwork. We help in connecting our applicants with the best health insurance providers and promptly coordinate with medical examinations.
Croyez strengthens your Super Visa Application
It is crucial to demonstrate strong ties to the applicant’s home country, financial requirements and manage any potential medical inadmissibility issues. The applicant must provide accurate documents for strong home country ties, like employment letters, proof of property ownership or rental agreements, evidence of dependents in the home country and financial status, like assets and bank accounts.
The financial requirements must be accurately documented. The papers, like bank statements, paystubs and CRA assessments and the invitation letter stating the sponsor's eligibility and financial commitment.
Most importantly, health-related concerns must be addressed accurately and transparently. For this, applicants must submit their complete medical report and their plans to manage them by not shifting the burden on Canadian healthcare resources.
In Croyez Immigration, we completely focus on organising and compelling applications. We assist in drafting detailed, genuine letters, financial advice and medical assessments.
Immigration Outcome: Visitor vs Permanent Resident
With the final note, it is important to note that, super visa provides temporary visitor status, not permanent residency. Super visa allows extended stays, and the visa holder can stay for up to seven years. They cannot stay or work in Canada during their stay, and not cannot publicly fund healthcare.
The PGP provides permanent residency, including access to public healthcare, and it can also lead the pathway to eligibility for citizenship. But, the waiting period can be quite long and uncertain, and the super visa can be a very accessible and immediate solution for super visa.
Deciding between the Super visa and the Parents and Grandparents program depends upon their applicants goal and circumstances. Croyez Immigration helps in navigating and provides a smooth visa processing experience.
