📖 The Full Story

The Ahujas' son moved to Toronto on PR in 2022. Their first grandchild was born in 2025. They wanted to spend real time helping raise the baby — not short tourist trips. The Canadian Super Visa is perfect for this: 10-year multi-entry, with each stay up to 5 years (2022 change from 2 years). But it has strict requirements: income proof from the child in Canada, and mandatory ₹10-12 lakh emergency medical insurance for 1 year (non-refundable). We helped their son get a Notice of Assessment from CRA showing his 2024 income above the LICO threshold (CAD 27,514 for family of 4). He wrote an invitation letter with a formal promise of financial support. We arranged Manulife travel medical insurance for both parents (CAD 3,200 for 1 year, covering ₹50 lakh emergency medical). The Ahujas' own documentation: joint pension income (₹55,000/month), Delhi property ownership, 30+ years marriage, daughter (their other child) with family in Gurgaon. Clear ties to India. We applied through VFS Delhi with medical exam (panel physician, standard for long-stay visas). Super Visa approved in 7 weeks.

Challenges They Faced

  • 1.Super Visa requires the inviting child's income proof, medical insurance, and panel medical exam — more complex than tourist visa
  • 2.Parents aged 68 needed panel medical — any health issue can complicate things
  • 3.Insurance must be from Canadian insurer, minimum CAD 100,000 coverage, 1-year validity
  • 4.Income threshold (LICO) must be met by the inviting child for family size

The Outcome

Both parents on 10-year multi-entry Super Visa. Currently on a 14-month stay in Toronto helping with the grandchild. Planning next trip for winter 2027.

"A 6-month tourist visa would mean leaving our grandson every 6 months. Super Visa lets us actually be grandparents — 5 years if needed. SureshotVisa knew every detail."
