Super Visa - Inadmissability

[clairebear]

Hi Everyone,
My Parents-in-law are looking to get a SuperVisa. What medical conditions would make an applicant inadmissable? They are of good health, on no regular meds, except maybe blood pressure or cholesterol....
Any help you can provide would be great

None that they have would make them inadmissible.

What are the main things they are looking for? I am guessing TB? HIV? My father in law is very nervous that they'll be refused entry based on the results of the medical exam, so I'm just trying to get a feel for how close they are looking at things.......they are going to sell their house and downsize if they will be spending a large amount of their retirement here, but if he won't be admissable based on medical exam, they don't want to sell, you know? Any help anyone can provide is really really appreciated.

Super visas can be refused for more than just medicals. They can also be refused if CIC believes the parents don't have strong ties to their home country and have plans to stay in Canada long term. We've seen a number of refusals for this very reason on this forum. I would recommend your parents hold off downsizing until they have an approved visa in hand.

@scylla
What would be the best way to satisfy CIC of their ties to home? They will be owning a home that they will rent out while they are visiting us in Canada. They will still maintain all their bank accounts, they still have all their friends and family (except us) in England....is there any other ideas that you have? Will CIC recognize the need for them to sell for financial reasons?
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer ;D

Make sure to list anything you can think of, like if they have a business there, a job or even a volunteer job. Also if they have any other children or grandkids in their home country. You need to show that they will want to go back after their visit. We've seen quite a few of our clients get refused because they were not able to establish ties.

I'm confused. I thought the supervisa was brought in because of the huge backlog of family sponsored immigration. But it seems they are mutually exclusive.

What if you might like to stay long term if it turns out to be feasible? Do you have to deny it?

 

[haver]

Deny what?

 

[clairebear]

I see what you mean about denying it....I think what you're saying is very similar to my in-law's situation. We're hoping to use this Super Visa to reunite us while we wait for CIC to reintroduce the Parental Sponsorship program. Can you be honest with the IO? My in-laws are very honest people...they just want to come to Canada and stay as long as they can LEGALLY and there hopes are to immigrate here one day. I worry that we might be better off acting like they'll just be retiring here temporarily and would not pursue a permanent move in the future...you know?

You should definitely tell that they are coming for a visit, otherwise you are pretty much guaranteed to get a refusal.
It says on CIC's website: "The person must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of the visit."

 

[clairebear]

They note that a factor in their decision is the stability of the home country. My In-laws are from England - will this work in their favour?

 

[haver]

absolutely!
