Hi friends,
Does anyone know how the super visa works? I meet the minimum income threshold criteria but my wife doesn't. My wife wants to apply super visa for her mother. Would she apply or I can apply too?
If it is only that she can apply, what is the minimum income cutoff criteria - her own income, or combined family income (mine and her income).
Sorry that I have to ask this here, CIC call centre is fully choked for past week, tried several times.

Generally this is what you got to know about Parent Super Visa Requirements in Canada.
Parents and Grandparents of Canadian citizens can live here in canada for the initial two years without the need to renew their VISA status, under this program.
You will have to complete and submit form [IMM5257] (which is generally to be filled outside of Canada) can be done from here.
Parents financial and host's financial situation will be taken into consideration when they process that application . STEADY Bank Balance for the past Three Months is one such feature. No one will tell you that.
The overall economic and political condition in India and also your INVITATION For their entry are also two such factors that get taken into consideration. Invitation letter from the host i,e., from YOU, preferably notarized is also an important requirement and make sure your letter covers all of the required details to satisfy their requirements in it.
The undertaking is a promise to provide financial support and basic requirements for the family members you are sponsoring. They must include the following..:
Basic requirements are: Food
Clothing

You may ask how come? This is for those who provide them with a separate house or accommodation, at a location of their choice. (It may be for a few rich people and it also holds good for a Bachelor who has to get them a larger accommodation)
This also MUST include other health care not provided by the public health and the Insurance Policy, such as eye and dental care and other special needs.
MOST IMPORTANT is..: YOU must provide them with financial support for them (YOu being their child/grand child i.e you the host must state and show the proof there of, and meet minimum & income household. (around $17,000) Please see the chart below.
Prove Canadian medical coverage insurance (for at least 1 year). (for starters)
Also, they will be required to complete the medical examination requirements.

thanks, I see the word "minimum income household" above and that answers my question.

Hi there,
CIC considers your household income and not the individual income. Along with application, invitation letter, income proof, another pre-requirement is confirmation of Emergency Medical Insurance coverage (also called super visa insurance) for each person you are applying for.
Further, requirement of acceptable Super visa insurance is that it has to be for a minimum of $100,000 and for at least 365 days. Once and if visa is granted, proof of insurance can be verified by immigration and/or CBSE (Canada Border Security) officials at the port of entry.
Let me know if you need any help.
Hope this helps.
