Super visa query

[qwertyguy]

Hello,

My wife is looking to invite her mother on a super visa from India. She has no travel history outside of India. The reason is because we are anticipating our first baby early next year.

We wanted to check on a few things:

1. Pregnancy as reason for visit: Is it okay to mention pregnancy as the reason? Some say this would hurt the application.

2. Ties to home country assessment: From a ties standpoint, she does not have much. Her only child (also my wife) is in Canada. She does have a few siblings, cousins, nephews and nieces and she has real estate. What are her chances?

3. Real estate documentation: Should we show papers of her real estate as proof of ties? Those documents are in native language and we might have to translate them. If it is not of importance, we would avoid going through the expense and hassle of translation. Also the present value of these real estate assets is not appraised and so we also don't want the hassle of filing for an appraisal of the value of the real estate if we want to show them as proof of funds or something.

4. Financial documentation requirements: We are thinking of omitting and not showing my mother-in-law's Indian bank account funds since she has only close to 1,600 CAD in the bank. My wife and I have gross combined income of above CAD 160,000 and are promising to fund all her expenses. Is it okay that way or do we need to show her funds too?

5. Minimum funds for 7-8 month stay: We are planning to show a stay of 7-8 months and so how much minimum funds should we show?

6. Length of stay: If we show a stay of 4-5 months would that mean her application might get rejected since a regular tourist visa is enough for such visits?

Thanks

That's totally fine, please mention the reason in your letter of invitation and request your family doctor to provide a note (She might charge $100) We would like to invite my mother (my wife’s mother-in-law) to visit to us in Canada so that she can give moral, emotional and physical support to us, for a period of 8 -9 months (tentatively from xxxxx TO xxxxx). My wife is expecting our first child and is currently in her xx month of pregnancy. This will be our first delivery in Canada and as we prepare for this major transition without immediate family nearby, the emotional and physical support of my mom is deeply needed. Her presence will be invaluable during the prenatal phase and especially crucial after delivery to assist with recovery, childcare and managing the needs of family. Having her here will not only provide comfort and guidance but will also ensure a healthy, supported environment for my wife and our growing family. It has also been over a year since we last saw them, and their visit would greatly benefit our family’s well-being. A pregnancy confirmation letter from our family doctor is enclosed to support this request. During their stay in Canada, my mom will stay with us at our residence in xxxxxxxx

2. Ties to home country assessment: From a ties standpoint, she does not have much. Her only child (also my wife) is in Canada. She does have a few siblings, cousins, nephews and nieces and she has real estate. What are her chances?

Connect with local CA in your area and ask him to draft a Net worth certificate, it will include the value of property and scan a copy of property for reference (CA will charge Rs3000/-)

3. Real estate documentation: Should we show papers of her real estate as proof of ties? Those documents are in native language and we might have to translate them. If it is not of importance, we would avoid going through the expense and hassle of translation.

Just show your funds and if possible ask the Indian bank to provide you bank balance certificate for your mom
Don't forget to include letter of financial promise

5. Minimum funds for 7-8 month stay: We are planning to show a stay of 7-8 months and so how much minimum funds should we show?

$15000

6. Length of stay: If we show a stay of 4-5 months would that mean her application might get rejected since a regular tourist visa is enough for such visits?

Show 7-8 months

Thanks

Would strongly discourage getting a letter from an MD. It is not helpful and if anything will hurt applications. The proposed letter involves key items IRCC looks for like providing childcare, household chores, etc. that can be considered illegal work. Physicians have no experience in immigration and are writing a letter based on their knowledge as a physician without immigration considerations.

There is also no exact amount of cash savings you have to show to get approved for a supervisa.
