Hi,

I want to sponsor my mother to come to Canada from India on Supervisa. Does she need s a medical examination, if she will only be here for less than 6 months?

IMM 5256 guide states that, generally it is not required if you are visiting for less than 6 months here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5256ETOC.asp

However, India's TRV guide IMM 5881 indicates that it is a requirement to provide a Medical Examination, it sates " Proof of having undergone a medical examination from one of the panel physicians for India, Nepal or Bhutan", but it doesn't indicate whether it's only required for applicants who will be coming for more than 6 months. Here is the link to IMM 5881, Please see India's TRV guide, and Supervisa section of the guide here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5881E.pdf

Does my mother still need to go for a medical exam if she wishes to come to Canada on a Supervisa for less than 6 months?

Can somebody please clarify?

Thank you :)

1. Yes, the super visa requires a medical exam as you can stay up to 2 years in Canada.
