Super Visa
Super Visa Program
The Super Visa program, administered by Nexus Migration, stands as a highly successful initiative that has facilitated the reunification of thousands of parents and grandparents with their families in Canada. This innovative program provides the valuable benefit of extended stays, enabling parents and grandparents who are either permanent residents or Canadian citizens to reside with their children and grandchildren in Canada for up to two years without the need for visa extensions.
The Super Visa’s appeal lies in its straightforward application process, expedited processing times, and a significantly higher acceptance rate. If you are exploring the flexible Super Visa option and seeking to reunite with your parents or grandparents, consider seeking guidance from our reputable immigration consultants at Nexus Migration.
Applying for the Super Visa with Nexus Migration
The Super Visa program offered by Nexus Migration is tailored specifically for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria. This program is exclusively designed for parents and grandparents and does not extend to dependents. However, spouses or common-law partners of parents and grandparents can be included in the Super Visa application through our services.
Applicants for the Super Visa should:
- Present a letter of invitation from their child or grandchild.
- Qualify as a parent or grandparent (including spouses and common-law partners) of either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
- Provide valid proof, such as a birth certificate containing parental or grandparental names, to establish the relationship with the child or grandchild.
- Demonstrate that their child or grandchild meets a minimum income threshold.
- Include a written letter from their child or grandchild indicating their commitment to covering expenses during the visit and supporting the Super Visa applicants throughout their stay.
- Clearly express their genuine intentions of being Canadian visitors and their commitment to departing by choice at the end of the authorized stay.
- Furnish documentary evidence that the child or grandchild meets the minimum Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) criteria.
- Possess a minimum of one year's Canadian medical insurance coverage.
Assessment of Super Visa Applications
Depending on the specific requirements of the local visa office, additional documents may need to be submitted. Super Visa applications are processed by Canada visa offices located outside Canada. The assessment of Super Visa applications involves the consideration of various factors, including the purpose of the visit to Canada, the likelihood of maintaining ties with the home country, the number of family relationships, and details of property and financial investments in the home country. Additionally, a medical examination may be required.

The financial criteria for Super Visa sponsors through Nexus Migration are more lenient compared to those for permanent residency (PR) sponsorship. The gross income required is nearly 30 percent lower than that for PR sponsorship. Furthermore, the gross income only needs to exceed the Minimum Necessary Income for one year, as opposed to the three-year requirement for PR sponsorship.
