How do you formulate how long you want the super visa for in your letter of invitation? I mean yes as long as possible but how many months to ask for the first visit? Do we just say we would like at least 7 or 8 months at a time for example? Or we don't have to mention that and only ask for a 10 year super visa? Passport is just renewed.

It always remains a visit visa application should represent this. For processing reasons would recommend indicating at least a 7 month visit to be assessed for a supervisa vs normal TRV.

My parents dont really have a reason to visit us for that long. But they might do multiple visits in the coming year. They can max stay 1 month at stretch due to dependence back home. And since visit visa are no longer given for multiple visits, I would like you to avoid that.

They can still be multiple entry it is just not the default.

Please I have the following questions and need help with them:
1. If I put one year for length of stay for super visa (matching the dates on the medical insurance), will it affect the visa approval in any way.
2. Can anyone help with a template for the invitation letter and letter of explanation by parents to justify that they have ties back home.
3. MIL is a senior back home and is well taken care of by us from here, but not much to show for funds apart from the regular monthly upkeep and other monies we send to her. Should we attach her statement just the way it is or just write a letter of explanation to say that we are and will be fully responsible for her. How much funds do we need to show. Does it matter if I show more funds than my spouse. We will jointly sign the application.
4. If my spouse's earnings just slightly exceeds LICO (the application is for my MIL), but mine exceeds and a combination of both of ours well exceeds LICO, will this affect the application?
I am just trying to ensure that this is done properly and the visa is not refused. Any advise will be appreciated. TIA.

1. no impact
2. Keep it short and simple. Many of the templates online are too long and wordy
3. Yes I would attach proof of her savings but there is no savings level requirement. If anything proof of ties to home country probably more important since a supervisa is not a permanent move to Canada and there is an expectation MIL will return home after her visit.
4. You can either include one income or co-sign as long as it exceeds LICO for 2024.

Thank you so much for detailed input, it is appreciated.
