 Hi everybody and welcome to our channel. Today I'm going to talk about super visas and more specifically if you should consider getting a super visa or a temporary resident visa, a visitor visa for your parent or grandparent. If you want to invite your parent or grandparent to Canada, so the applicant, you can get a super visa or a visitor visa. However, super visas have certain extra requirements which a visitor visa does not have. So in order to get a super visa, you have to demonstrate minimum necessary income and you have to purchase travel health insurance for a certain amount up to a period of one year. Currently that's the rule. The travel health insurance is up to $100,000 for your parent or grandparent. I always recommend our clients if they have the minimum necessary income and if they can afford the travel health insurance for their parent to get the super visa because the issuance of a super visa is a little bit more guaranteed than a regular visitor visa. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will automatically for sure 100% get the super visa but the number of issuance of super visa is much higher than a regular visitor visa because specifically a visitor visa was made to allow parents and grandparents to travel to Canada for a certain period of time, have the flexibility to go back and forth for longer periods of visit because of the restrictive nature of the current parental and grandparent sponsorship program. Having said that, even if you're applying for a super visa you shouldn't take for granted that it's going to be approved. So here at the office we always make sure to still put a lot of documentation about the ties to the home country. We put specific travel dates of when the travel is going to be, what's the itinerary. We also put a lot of evidence of the sponsors capability here, the child or the grandchild's capability to financially support and what's the reason of the visit. So depending of which country your parent or grandparent is, sometimes the officer might still wonder, well is this parent and grandparent going to come and then go back or are they going to overstay their status, become illegal and not leave at the expiration of their visa. So for example at the office we recently did two super visas for parents that live in Iraq and we did another one for parents that live in Syria. And because of the political nature and instability that's in those regions right now we make sure to really explain that they're coming for a visit but they have a home to go back to, they have a community, they have responsibilities and that they're not just going to come here and overstay their visas. If you have any questions about super visas don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
