You can include an invitation letter co-signed by both of you + a copy of your marriage certificate + a copy of your wife's birth certificate/any other document that proves the relationship to her mom.

Generally, at least one recent NOA (to prove you and/or your wife meet LICO for a super visa) + employment letters + bank statements (3-4 months) + any financial investments

Ok, I know this might have been asked but I can not find proper procedure to do it.

My wife just got PR and we have heard a good news that she is 3 months pregnant, it was surprise to all of us. It is Blessing (thank you God)
Now, my wife never work in Canada, filed no income tax.
I have enough income and will support mother in law.

1. I believe you can be co signer for supervisa, am I correct?
2. If so, what is the procedure, is there a form to fill out?
3. since my wife never worked and has no income, should we just go apply for visitor visa, in either case I will be cosigner.
4. Mother in law has no income, and a single mother who has lives with her elder daughter back home.

Any one had successful supervisa for being co signer?

Also, is it better to have child in UK or CA for benefit reason? I have good income (thanks you God) in Canada so I know, I will not get any child benefit.

1. Yes you can apply for a supervisa if you co-sign and meet LICO. Approval is not guaranteed.
2. Fill out the normal application
3. All depends on your circumstances and your MIL's financial situation, ties to her home country and previous international travel to countries like the US, UK, Australia, etc.
4. it will be tough for her to get a TRV in that case. A supervisa may be easier but she'll need to provide proof that she will return home. How long has your wife been in Canada? You also don't want to appear that the mother is trying to move to Canada with her daughter. If approved, pregnant women are considred high risk for covid so she'll need to quarantine separately like in a basement if you have a home.

My wife just received Confirmation of Permanent Residence this Oct 2020. She has been in Canada since 2018 on Visitor visa, and got Open work permit in Feb 2020.

I did claim my wife on my 2020 tax year as spouse. My wife has no income at all, has never work in Canada.

Yes I have a home so my mother in law will quartine in a separate room.

I really my mother in law to come for my wife as it is our 1st child. Mother in law lives with eldest daughter, that is the only home ties she has. She did travel to US and return withing time.

Because your wife is considered vulnerable because pregnant women at higher risk of complications due to covid, your MIL needs to be in a separate area of your home like a basement with a bathroom or an airbnb and not just her own room. If your wife is pregnant and is seeing medical professionals she also needs to be extra cautious not to be in contact with anyone quarantining because she risks exposing health professionals and other pregnant women. All you can do is apply and hope for the best. Nobody can guarantee whether she will be approved. She needs to prove that she has strong enough ties to her home country and will return home eventually.

Ya thank you, I understand the situation about quartine which I will definitely figure out.

I just wanted to make sure that I can be cosigner and apply for supervisa for MIL eventhough my wife has no income.

I believe supervisa will have higher success rate than normal visit visa, again nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks for your help.

Hi thanks Canuck 78, I have few other questions here, please help if you can, anyone?

How can I explain to officer in letter that I am a co signer and I will be fully responsible for my mother in law.?
Do we have to provide two separate invitation letter, one from my wife and other from me as a co signer?
Also, on this forums, people are stating that I should not mention about my wife pregnancy, so in this case, how can I make invitation letter strong?

Any help will be great, Thanks

You can explain that you plan to support your MIL but that's not enforceable which is why your MIL needs to show her own finances as well as yours. There is no need to explain you are the co-signer it is in the application. I wouldn't mention the pregnancy I would just explain that your MIL wants to visit you both and Canada if she has never been. Invitation letter is not really the important part of the application.

Thanks, now do I need to have two separate invitation letter one from me or one from my wife?
And I am leaning toward supervisa, but once again my has no T4's and never filed income tax in Canada..I do know it is one of the requirements for supervisa from wife then how can I proceed with supervisa for MIL?

Do you have a NOA showing you have earned more than LICO. Invitation should come from your wife but it can be from the both of you. Only one letter is required. How long has it been since your wife arrived in Canada? You should be aware that only one person will be able to accompany your wife to the hospital for labour and recovery. At most pregnancy related appointments you have to go alone due to covid.

Yes I have NOA showing more than enough income to support my wife, MIL and coming baby. I am writing invitation letter from both of us. Just trying to figure out better wording and explanation why MIL should visit Canada. My wife just became a PR October 2020, she was on visit visa then I did inland PR for her. And after getting approval of her PR, we got surprise good news about her pregnancy.

So it sounds like she has been in Canada for over a year so wanting to have your mother visit you to see your life in Canada is not an unreasonable reason.
