Supervisa for my divorced and remarried father

[SuperMongoose]

Hi,

Long story short, my father is expecting a baby with a woman he married after divorcing my mother.

I want to help him visit me often in Ontario, with a supervisa.

Do I have to have enough revenue to support him, wife and baby for him to be eligible for a supervisa?

How does him being remarried impacts his supervisa request?

Thanks

Super visas are intended for parents/grandparents who would like to stay for longer than what a TRV/visitor visa would allow them to.

If your dad would like to visit often then perhaps a TRV would be a better option.

Do I have to have enough revenue to support him, wife and baby for him to be eligible for a supervisa?

Your income must meet the threshold (LICO) for yourself + (your spouse and children, if it applies) + your dad + his wife.

He cannot include his baby in the super visa application. He would need to apply for a TRV for the baby

Are you sure this applies to any dependent, even if it's a few months old baby?
Thanks

From the IMM5256 Instruction Guide:
Who may apply for a super visa?
To apply for the super visa you must either be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.

Note: You cannot include your dependent children in this application. Only your spouse or common-law partner is eligible to accompany you under this provision

What do you think of this :

“The family in Canada inviting you is a family of three (the inviting child or grandchild, the spouse and one dependent child). They plan to host you and your dependent child. The family size is five”

Doesn’t mean the dependant child comes with a supervisa though...

Here are other pages from the IRCC site that state again, "dependent children cannot be included":

You can’t include dependants in this application.


From the IMM 5256 Instruction Guide again:

What must my child or grandchild do to meet the LICO minimum?
You child or grandchild’s income must meet or exceed the minimum necessary cut off, as identified annually in the Income Table.

In the letter of invitation they must calculate their family size. This factor determines the amount of income required to provide care and support for you and your spouse, if applicable. They may use the table below to calculate the family size:

1. Your child or grandchild counts:
   • Themselves;
   • Their spouse or common-law partner;
   • Their dependent children;
   • any person they may have sponsored previously and for whom the sponsorship agreement and undertaking are still in effect.
2. They count the number of persons they will be supporting:
   • You, and
   • Your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable.
3. They add the number of persons covered by steps 1 and 2. The total represents his family size.
4. They look at the LICO in the Income Table in this guide to determine if they meet the minimum required for their family size
