hi, I have PR, I want to apply immigration for my parent. Just wanted to know what is the difference between super visa and parent and grand parent sponsorship 2015, I far as I know in super visa it is just a multiple viisit visa for upto 10 years, and we have to pay for our parents medical as well.

Parent nd grandparent sponsorship is visit visa or is this for permanent residency? Do we have to pay medical or government?

Kindly answer my query

Yes - the super visa is just a visitor visa. It does not allow parents to live in Canada long term.

PR allows parent to move to Canada permanently. Once your parents have PR, they will be able to use the provincial health care system (just like you do) and there will be no need to pay for insurance.

Note that the cap for parent PR applications has already been reached for this year. CIC will accept applications again in January of next year. Also note that in order to qualify to sponsor your parents for PR, you must meet minimum income levels for three years in a row from Canadian income sources and must supply three years of Canadian tax returns to prove you do.
