Keep your business and personal funds separate. Make sure your salary (minus expenses) on your personal taxes meets LICO every year.

Thank you. I was keeping the funds in business account and transferring to personal account when needed. My accountant takes care of filing business and personal taxes.

Hi,

I have a quick regarding ties back in applicant’s home country.

My mother owns the land and a house. Do I need to attach/provide those documents in the application? If yes, those documents are in the regional language. Do I need to translate or explain in a letter?

Please reply.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you should attach proof of ownership especially if your mother doesn’t have a strong profile. Her home is more important than the land. Yes you should include translations.

Thanks for the reply.

Can I ask them to translate there with a notary and scan the documents to me or get them translated here in Canada?

Thanks

Hi,

I am planning to get upfront medical exam for my mother’s Super Visa application.

According to the IRCC instructions, "When you have an upfront medical exam, the physician will ask you to fill out an IMM 1017B Upfront Medical Report. You must include a copy of the report with your paper application. If you apply online, you must upload the report before you can submit your application."

Does the physician provide the IMM 1017B report form to the applicant? If yes, can I upload it in the "Other Documents" section under their Super Visa application?

Do I also raise a web form as soon as I submit the application as others have done the same?

Please advise. Thanks

No MDs submit it directly to IRCC

 

[Go123]

yes. You are only acting as their representative.

So, they can do it on their own right? Thanks

So, I don’t need to let IRCC know. Is that right? I read somewhere on the forum that
upfront medical exam result form should be uploaded with the Super Visa application.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’m planning for my parents to visit Canada for about 3 to 4 months to meet my newborn son and spend some time with us as a family. I’m considering applying for either a Visitor Visa or a Super Visa for them and would love some guidance on which would be the better option. Specifically, I’d like to know which visa type typically has a faster processing time and lower risk of rejection for a stay of this length. Additionally, since I’ll be covering all their expenses, would that be a potential issue for a Visitor Visa? Any insights from those who’ve been through this process would be much appreciated!

I had exactly same situation in the past - 2019. I then went for Visitor Visa (since I was not a PR back then). Few things:

1. For Visitor Visa, I wrote a letter of support and invitation.
2. I also provided proof of my saving account funds. I showed about CDN 100K or so. (You may not need this to should this or more, lower amount might work as well).
3. They provided proof of their own funds too. They showed about INR 3,000,000 in liquid cash. They are on pension so they showed that too.

You MAY go for Super Visa but be aware. Super Visa needs a medical checkup as well. So things might take some time since sometimes they need to do furtherance. I did not need this for my parents.

DO get an emergency medical insurance for your parents. If for any reason they face a medical emergency, the bill stack up VERY fast. And I means 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars fast. Get 100K emergency medical insurance. I went with Manulife.

DO know that emergency medical insurance ONLY covers emergency and not regular checkup or follow up. That too, it only provides enough coverage for medical emergency to be stabilised. After wards insurers ask you to move back to their country for more treatment.

Emergency room usage in Island Health Authority atleast needs to be done from out of pocket and later charged to your insurer. This means you need to have some cash at hand.

Hospitalization, if covered, might be directly billed. You might want to talk to your health authority's billing department. Almost all hospitals in Canada are run by government.

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question to ask regarding my mother’s super visa application as I’m planning to submit it soon.

First off, I'm self-employed and I file taxes every year I’m going to include my recent NOA as proof of income and I meet the LICO requirements.

Can I include business bank statements as proof of funds?

Thanks

No, and be careful about transferring funds from business account to personal account. For taxation you need to maintain books of your finances. Arbitrarily moving money from business to personal can be legally troublesome. Get advice from an accountant or a corporate lawyer.

Typically you pay yourself a salary and bonus from your business account. That should be funding your personal account.

Typically panel physicians are equipped with a direct filing system to upload Immigration Medical Exam results directly to IRCC. Paper based method is an exception and only used in places with no internet facilities. Very likely, you will not need to submit anything. They will give you a page however containing your UCI and IME identifier. You can add that to your application as one of the additional document. Results will reach IRCC directly.

I spoke to my accountant and he said ok to include bank statements and transfer funds from business to personal account as the business is 100% owned by me.

I’ll be submitting the application online so I’ll upload the receipt/document that they give after the medical exam.
