The application process for the Super Visa closely resembles that of a regular Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). However, it requires additional documentation to ensure that parents and grandparents will be adequately supported during their stay in Canada. This includes:

A letter of invitation from the child or grandchild residing in Canada.
Documentation proving that the child or grandchild meets the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) minimum (see the relevant table).
Proof of the parental relationship, such as a birth certificate indicating the applicant as a parent.
Evidence of medical insurance coverage for at least one year from a Canadian insurance provider.

Applications should be processed at the Canadian visa office corresponding to the applicant’s place of residence outside Canada. Depending on the office, additional documents may be required.

The complete application will be evaluated based on several factors, including the purpose of the visit and the applicant’s ties to their home country. This can be demonstrated through family connections, financial stability, and other links outside Canada.

All Super Visa applicants must undergo a medical examination. Forms and instructions for this examination will be provided by the visa office after the application submission.
