Hello all,

To apply for super visa for my parents, do I have to show I have been working for 3 years or did they change it back to one year? I meet the minimum salary threshold required for a family component but wasnt sure if one of the parameter is to be working in canada for 3 years - anyone?

Thanks,

You're confusing the super visa with sponsoring your parents for PR. There is no three year requirement for the super visa. There is, however, a three year requirement if you're sponsoring your parents for PR.

Thankyou. Last I heard is there is no longer a PR option (for parents) but super visa if I have to get my parents here. Is this not true?

No - that's not true. CIC started accepting parent / grandparent sponsorship applications again this year. Although there is an application cap of 5,000 per year (which was reached in January, I believe).

Hi

You must wait for the program to open again in 2015.
