Super Visa LICO

[zahidislam14]

Hello All,

This is my first time posting. I need help regarding super visa (for my parents) and LICO. I have 6 family members (including my parents who I want to sponsor) and the LICO requirement according to cic website is $56,209. I am just $3000 shy of that, reason being is because my wife and I started our job mid year. The Notice of Assessment for last year shows our combined income as $53,000. I am thinking if we write a note and give our employment letters showing the yearly pay ($70000) it should be okay? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

NOA is the best document you can have followed by T4.
try to get letter from your Employer stating your position, full time or part time, yearly salary, joining date atcs.

I think if you combine them , it will be ok.

My T4 shows only 20K$ but i took employer letter and it worked for me.

Hi nash_avatar,

I saw your post in "Super Visa LICO" thread dated March 24, 2014 and think your experience can be of help to me too as i also have similar issue.

I want to apply Super visa for my Parents and the minimum LICO required for a family of 4 (including parents) is $43,942.00. Me and my wife came to Canada in early 2013 and started working in mid 2013 so our income for 2013 is only $30,000.00 i.e. much less than what is required but 4 months back i changed my job and now our(me and my wife's) total income is 69,000.00.

From your post in the thread i believe you also had a same issue and you suggested zahidislam14 to apply with:
1. Your pay cheques
2. your job letter from current employer
3. T4 for last year
4. NOA for last year

I want to ask you did you managed to get super visa for your parents with similar situation?

Please reply. Your answer may help me get my parents here with me.

Many Thanks and Kind Regards,
ASJ

super visa is more support based. If you meet the requirement, your parents dont have to show their property. They might show 5k or 10K in their account. There is no document required in any where during super visa process that parents have to show the prof of properties or bank balance.
it is all up to you, you should be financially strong to support them.

Hey Nash,

Thank you again for the info on LICO. Can you tell me for how long did the visa officers stamp your mom's passport for? I am hearing that the it is upto the discretion of the visa officer to finalize the duration of their stay even though it says UP TO 24 MONTHS FOR SUPERVISA.

Also, if they were to apply on regular TRV, is a return ticket necessary? Look forward to hearning your experiences and thoughts on this.

Yes you are right the visa officers have authority to stamp, that can restrict the stay, however of all the cases I have seen so far (and being in Insurance I have seen a lot) I have not encountered this case. There is a higher possibility of this happening on regular TRV.

Yes return ticket is necessary to prove to the immigration officials that you intend to return back to your home country and not stay back in Canada past your return date.

Thanks Vikask...are u to referring to the super visa when talking about the return ticket or regular TRV. Because it does not make sense to me in the case where a super visa is issued ( for UP TO 24 months).

 

[Vikask]

Zahid

I am talking about both. One of the thing that you need to keep in mind is that they have to prove strong ties to their home country - showing that they will eventually return back. With a one way ticket you are not showing their intention to return back to their home country.

Hello Vikas,

Ok. I think the fact that they visited here twice and both times went back before their visa expired is proof enough for the officers at the airport. Thank you for the info.
