yes even i am worried, because i am fluent in english and my whole education happened in english for which i fetch 6 points and due this 6 points i qualify for quebec program with a total of 49 points. So my question is whether my application will still hold good as i have submitted my application before Dec 5th and I also received my first AOR on 19th November.

for the IELTS, isn't it that in the old one,you can get a maximum of 6 points? now its only 3? yes, person can get maximum 6 points in english. In listening you can get max 3 points and in speaking you can get max 3 points. But band requirement has been changed now. Previously, it was 6.5+ in listening and 7+ in speaking to get full 6 points, but now it changed to 8+ in listening and speaking requirement is same.

Document d’information — Obtenir un super visa pour parents et grands parents

Exigences

Si vous souhaitez obtenir un super visa pour parents et grands‑parents, vous devez présenter une demande au moyen du formulaire Demande de visa de résident temporaire présentée à l’extérieur du Canada [IMM 5257].
Outre l’information que vous donnerez en remplissant le formulaire IMM 5257, vous devez également fournir la preuve de votre lien (parent ou grand‑parent) avec le citoyen ou résident permanent du Canada ainsi qu’une lettre signée par votre enfant ou petit‑enfant dans laquelle ce dernier s’engage à subvenir à vos besoins pendant toute la durée de votre séjour au Canada.
Il importe de joindre à la demande une preuve que votre enfant ou petit‑enfant est en mesure de vous apporter ce soutien financier. La capacité de soutenir un parent ou un grand‑parent pendant son séjour est fondée sur un revenu minimum (appelé seuil de faible revenu ou SFR). Le tableau ci‑dessous est également utilisé pour déterminer la capacité d’une personne de parrainer des membres de sa famille au titre de la catégorie du regroupement familial. Le revenu minimum requis est mis à jour le 1er janvier de chaque année.
Taille de l’unité familiale Revenu minimum requis
1 personne (le répondant) 22 229 $
2 personnes 27 674 $
3 personnes 34 022 $
4 personnes 41 307 $
5 personnes 46 850 $
6 personnes 52 838 $
7 personnes 58 827 $
Plus de 7 personnes, pour chaque personne additionnelle, ajouter : 5 989 $
Vous devez également présenter une preuve que vous avez souscrit auprès d’un assureur canadien une assurance médicale qui à la fois :
est valide pour au moins un an suivant la date de votre entrée au Canada;
prévoit une couverture minimale de 100 000 $;
couvre les soins de santé, l’hospitalisation et le rapatriement.
Vous devez satisfaire à tous les critères d’admissibilité réguliers. Il existe un certain nombre de motifs pour lesquels vous pouvez être considéré comme interdit de territoire, vous voir refuser un visa ou encore, l’entrée au Canada.
Pour permettre à l’agent des visas de déterminer si vous êtes interdit de territoire pour motifs sanitaires, vous devez vous soumettre à un examen médical aux fins de l’immigration (EMI) avant de pouvoir obtenir un super visa.
À l’intention des parents et des grands‑parents qui se trouvent déjà au Canada

Les parents et les grands‑parents qui se trouvent actuellement au Canada peuvent demander à faire proroger leur statut pour une période allant jusqu’à deux ans en présentant une Demande pour modifier les conditions de séjour, proroger le séjour ou demeurer au Canada (IMM 1249) au Centre de traitement des demandes de Vegreville, en Alberta. Ils doivent toutefois s’assurer de satisfaire à tous les critères. Ces demandes seront étudiées en fonction de chaque cas.
À l’intention des parents et des grands‑parents provenant de pays dispensés du visa

Les parents et les grands‑parents de citoyens et de résidents permanents du Canada provenant d’un pays dont les citoyens n’ont pas besoin de visa pour entrer au Canada peuvent également profiter de la durée de séjour autorisée du super visa, soit deux ans. Ils peuvent présenter une demande à un bureau canadien des visas (sans frais) et démontrer qu’ils satisfont à tous les critères associés au super visa.
Si le demandeur satisfait à tous les critères, il recevra une lettre du bureau des visas, qu’il devra présenter à un agent de l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada à son arrivée à un point d’entrée au Canada. L’agent pourrait alors autoriser une période de séjour au Canada allant jusqu’à deux ans.

Backgrounder — Applying for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa

Requirements

An application for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is made using the Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada [IMM 5257] form.
In addition to the information required for completing the IMM 5257, the applicant must also provide proof of the parent or grandparent relationship to the Canadian citizen or permanent resident and a signed letter from their child or grandchild pledging financial support to the parent or grandparent for the duration of their visit to Canada.
Evidence of the family’s ability to provide that financial support must be submitted with the application. The ability to support visiting parents or grandparents is based on a minimum necessary income (known as the low income cut-off, or LICO). The chart below is also used to determine an individual’s ability to sponsor family members through the Family Class. The minimum necessary income is updated each year on January 1.
Size of Family Unit Minimum necessary income
1 person (the sponsor) $22,229
2 persons $27,674
3 persons $34,022
4 persons $41,307
5 persons $46,850
6 persons $52,838
7 persons $58,827
More than 7 persons, for each additional person, add $5,989
Applicants must also submit proof that they have purchased Canadian medical insurance that:
is valid for a minimum period of one year from the date of entry to Canada;
provides a minimum of $100,000 in coverage; and
covers the applicant for health care, hospitalization and repatriation.
Applicants must also meet all standard admissibility criteria. There are a number of reasons why you can be found inadmissible, denied a visa and refused entry to Canada.
For the visa officer to determine whether the applicant is medically admissible to Canada, the applicant will also be required to undergo an Immigration Medical Examination (IME) prior to being issued a Super Visa.
For parents and grandparents already visiting Canada

Parents and grandparents who are currently in Canada may apply for an extension of their status for up to two years by submitting an Application to Change Conditions, Extend Stay or Remain in Canada (IMM 1249) to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta, as long as they meet all the criteria. These applications will be examined on a case-by-case basis.
For parents and grandparents from visa-exempt countries

Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents from a country whose citizens are not required to have a visa to enter Canada are also eligible to enjoy the Super Visa’s authorized stay of two years. They may apply at a Canadian visa office (no fee required) and demonstrate that they meet all the requirements for the Super Visa.
Applicants who meet all the criteria will be issued a letter by the visa office which they will present to a Canada Border Services Agency officer at the port of entry upon their arrival in Canada. The officer may authorize a visit to Canada for up to two years.
