Visitor Visa vs. Super Visa for Retired Parents with Limited Finances?

I’m planning to apply for a visa for my retired parents to visit Canada from india, but I’m unsure whether to go for a Visitor Visa or a Super Visa, considering their financial situation.

Since they don’t have strong financials to support a long stay on super Visa, they might only visit for a month. I will be fully supporting them financially, but their own funds are limited, and they can show proof of around $10K CAD.

Given this, would it be better to apply for a Visitor Visa for a 1 month visit instead of a Super Visa showing duration of greater than 6 months? Would this increase their chances of approval? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone:)

I might be wrong, but as far as my understanding is, in super visa it’s your financial condition thats more important; and in visitor visa it’s your parents financial condition. However, they still have to show some kind of reason that they will return back to their country in both types of visas
