Few questions related to Super Visa

[SriKrishna22]

Hi, I'm planning to apply for Super visa for my mom and have few questions, hoping to get some help here.

1. My mother used to run a grocery shop few years ago but now she's fully a homemaker. Me and my sister take care of her finances. How can I write my letter of invitation so that her situation doesn't impact the super visa negatively. I kinda have my letter invitation ready but I need to explain to CIC that she's willing to go back after a year or something. For this, I'm not sure how can I prove her strong ties to India.
2. Another question is regarding the health insurance. CIC says we can submit proof of purchase of health insurance for which I have paid fully or in installments. As we Canadian health insurance is very expensive, I'm considering to go with installments option but how many months do I have to pay for to be on safe side?

Thank you everyone in advance!

Didn't you apply the super visa a year ago? Btw, she can now buy the super visa health insurance in India if the provider meet certain requirements.

No, I wanted to but I have never applied. I tried to use OSFI website to find Canada approved health insurance companies, but I couldn't find anything in India. How can I search for Indian companies? Do you know any?

I got my in-law's super visa approved after 2 visitor visas and 1 super visa refusals in the past. I used this template for the invitation letter for the approved application, if it helps you. Key is explaining parents ties with India - https://docs.google.com/document/d/...ouid=100010915071435543836&rtpof=true&sd=true

Also, for super visa insurance, IRCC simply says that quotes are not accepted. If you have installments running and then a letter of explanation, I guess you are good.

Although it technically says you can pay in instalments we have seen many get denied if they don’t pay for the full year.

Not sure about the first question, but we bought my MIL’s health insurance on installments. Didn’t had any issue and her visa was approved in 15 days

If you don't mind me asking, did you purchase it from Canada or from India?

Thank you for sharing this document. My concern is my mom used to run a grocery store till few years ago but now she's fully a home maker. I'll try to write that she's going to go back to India after few months but what are the chances of approval when the parent doesn't really have any income or any job / commitment with India

Thanks for the question. Hopefully someone can help us with an answer. I'm in a similar situation where both my parents are retired, they don't own a home in India but have a strong community of friends, they are actively social in their community and they have their siblings. My brother and his family (wife and kids) are also there, my father volunteers at my brothers business. Since they don't own a home, are retired, but have siblings, grandchildren and children who they are emotionally connected to, would this be sufficient to show ties. Thanks in advance!

impossible to say.

Adult children are not ties. They need to explain much more than merely saying they have strong community ties.

Who do they live with? Is your brother the eldest son?

 

[penguin_2013]

No he is not the eldest son.
Looking for some help here, if not immediate family and strong community, what else in general counts as strong ties . Could you please help. Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated
