Do Supervisa Applicants need to show funds in their account?

[amit_27]

Hi,

I am in the process of sponsoring my mom to come to Canada on a Supervisa. And, I was filling out IMM 5257 APPLICATIONS FOR VISITOR VISA (TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA).

Can somebody please advise what we should enter where it asks for "Funds available for my stay (CAD)", in the application?

Do Supervisa applicants need to have funds available in their account? I will be taking full responsibility for her expenses ticket/insurance/food. My mother is not working in India, she is a housewife. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

For a super visa, your finances count more than those of your mom. That said, it won't hurt if your mom is able to prove she has some finances of her own.

She must also prove that she has strong ties/reasons to return to India

Thank you Bryanna! Would it be a problem if she puts 0 in the box?

Zero 'Available funds for my visit' = Zero chances of a TRV/Super visa approval (most probably)

Your mom can state the total of all liquid funds: Bank balances + foreign currency + cash (if she has paid taxes + declared the source in the ITRs) + FDs (if not locked-in), etc

The problem is that my mother has nothing in her name, things like land/property are either in her husband's name or in her in-laws (her husband's father). I am thinking of attaching my Account Summary balance showing that I can take care of all of her expenses. Would you recommend getting an estimate of her jewellery, and submitting those jewellery evaluation proofs along with the supervisa application?

Does my mom need to provide proof of the amount she puts for available funds? For example, if she puts down $8,0000 would she have to show this in proofs?

Thank your for your advice Bryanna!

The stronger her financial dependence on you, the weaker her ties to India would seem to be.

She could include a 'Letter of Financial Support' from her husband + his 6 months' bank statement + his ITRs

I am thinking of attaching my Account Summary balance showing that I can take care of all of her expenses.

It is necessary for you to prove that you meet LICO as the super visa host. You mom still needs to prove she has some finances of her own, however meagre it might be.

Would you recommend getting an estimate of her jewellery, and submitting those jewellery evaluation proofs along with the supervisa application?

You can include the jewelry estimate as one of her 'financial investments'.

However, it is generally understood that no one will sell their jewelry to pay for a visit abroad. So, no, jewelry is not 'liquid funds' + you cannot mention it as 'Funds available for my visit'

Does my mom need to provide proof of the amount she puts for available funds? For example, if she puts down $8,0000 would she have to show this in proofs?

Yes, of course.

No evidence = No truth in that claim

So in IMM 5257 (for supervisa) "Funds available for my stay (CAD) , what amount should we put in there ...... her bank balance/savings or my savings (since I am the sponsor)?

It does not matter what amount you entered in this column as It is SV so i tried to enter my Liquid fund in this column
I submitted my Latest NOA, EMP LETTER which show my annual salary. I also submitted bank statement for my parents and Pension letter (Which is actually does not hold any value in case you are applying for S.V.)

Good Luck

Question - Do I need to complete IMM5476 if I am submitting the application on behalf of my parents?
CIC says the application should be completed outside of Canada? Does that mean I cannot act as a representative for my parents?
Also, if I am going to pay for the application, is that going to be an issue?
Thanks for your help...
