It's the 3rd week since online status changed to Passed for my mother's Super VISA and strangely no Passport request yet. Should I contact embassy, is there a way to send query?

A bit more patience :)
As things have cleared now in your case so may be due to lot of applications they are taking longer but soon they will receive passport request.

Here the steps you need to perform:

[Assuming you are applying paper based]

1- Get the application package from this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp

2- FIll all the forms and include all the supporting documents (Letter of Invitation, Their Medical Insurance, Your PR card, Your Passport Copy, Your Bank Statement that you can support them, Your Tax Return Form/Letter that you are paying all your taxes in Canada, etc...)

3- Pay the application fee in Standard Chartered Bank ($100 for Single or Max. $500 for family - Multi-Entry) + $85 (Biometric fee for each)
You can find further fee details from here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

4- Vist VAC office which is near to their home (LHR, ISL, KHI). Bring the documents and Fee Receipt. They will cross verify your documents, will take their biometrics and will accept the application. You will receive the application submission receipt.

5- If (Insh'Allah) things will go smooth, you will receive an email with the medical form. Now they need to take medical appointment:

For fast response and medical appointment with IOM You need to send email to IOM at email address blow don't use the spaces between email address as they appear on this forum. I booked mien yesterday via this email.

Email to: "canmedpk @ iom.int"

· Passport No.
· Complete Name
· Date of Birth
· Contact Number
· Visa Category
· Location/City for Screening

Email: "canmedpk @ iom.int" or you can call us at 051-111-466-472 for personalized assistance.

Bring the printout of this medical form which you will receive via email, identity proof (Original License, Original CNIC, etc) and go there. Go through the medicals. It's really simple. Nothing to worry about it. Medical center (IOM) will forward the medical reports to embassy by their own.

6- If (Insh'Allah) things will further move smoothly, soon they will receive approval email. Now they need to visit VAC again with the submission receipt to collect back the passports :) :)

I hope I have clearly explained the whole process :p
All the best.

Hi,

By grace of God Almight, we got passports for our mothers back with 4 years Super Visa (Passport was valid for 10 years), So I have a few questions if anyone can kindly respond.

1) What could be the reason for not issuing VISA till length of passport?
2) It looks like a normal Multiple Entry VISA, did CIC issue a TRV as well or that stamped VISA is all required.
3) What needs to be done at so she could get a maximum stay allowance at Toronto Airport.
4) Do I need to buy One way or Return Ticket so the airline doesn't create any fuss at Lahore Airport?

Thanks,
Ibtisam

My mom also got it for 4-years initially. After that duration, when you will re-apply for it, she will get it of 10-years then. Nothing to worry in it.

YES, this is just TRV that will allow her to visit Canada anytine within these 4-years. At POE, immigration officer will stamp her passport with the permit (dont know exactly its name right now), which will allow her to legally stay in Canada.

ibtisamq said:

Please correct me if I am not correctly getting your question. By stay allowance you mean that stamp/permit which immigration officer will put on her passport? Ammm.... usually they will stamp for 2-years and will ask her that you can extend it from within Canada if you plans to stay longer from that duration... Actually there is no issue in this. If that duration is over, you can simple revisit the border for its extension.

Just ONE-WAY ticket from Lahore to destination city in Canada.

The Visa Officer at their discretion can issue a super visa or a visitors visa for any length of time up to 10 years or the passport expiry date.
As of February this year all applications Super Visa or Visitor Visa are automatic applications for a ten year multiple entry visa.

For a Super Visa this is something which Citizenship and Immigration is aware of. The problem is if someone is visiting for longer than a year no airline will issue return airfare for longer than 12 month. For those visiting for two years this is just a waist of money what others have done is ask the visa office to provide a letter stating that return airfare is not required for the visit with a Super Visa. There are other posting on this website of people who have run into a similar situation.

I just had a client who wanted to apply for a super visa for a three month visit, I advised him to apply for a visitors visa because spending thousands of dollars on insurance that will never be used and will not be refunded if a claim arises is a waste of money. My client was initially refused he is from Pakistan, the reason was no prior travel history and he had all the documents to support ties to the country of origin. I told my client to go see his MP for his riding, he did and they gave him a letter. They also questions that his parents had no prior travel history I said so what and so did my client to his MP. He reapplied and was approved with the letter from the MP.

Just to show you that good documentation and a good insurance broker does make a difference. A letter from an MP is much more effective than hiring an immigration consultant or lawyer and it is free. By dealing with Stone-Hedge Financial Group Inc. my client saved thousands of dollars in legal fees got a visa approved up to the expiry date of his parents passport and save thousands on insurance. This is a happy ending for everyone. I wish everyone a happy smooth experience with their applications.

There are many brokers on this site trying to sell insurance I doubt they go to the trouble that Stone-Hedge Financial Group Inc. does in providing guidance and advise on the whole application process including insurance. Keep in mind I am not a lawyer or an immigration consultant but have done many insurance applications for both Super Visa's and Visitor Visa's and have experience in this field.

Just pray from GOD for visa..........TB is one of three diseases which they don't allow visa. Other are Hypatitus and Aids.
Wrong information

TB is recover then it is ok
Hypatitus and Aids result are negative then its is ok
or your other test is ok like lft etc then it will be consider for visa.
