Imagine a sunny morning in Vancouver, the city’s skyline reflecting off the calm waters of the Pacific. You sip on your morning coffee, but something feels amiss. The laughter and stories of your parents are thousands of miles away, leaving a void no video call can fill. This narrative is far too common among many newcomers to Canada. However, the Super Visa program offers a shimmer of hope, acting as a bridge to bring families closer. At Ansari Immigration, we’ve had the privilege of assisting many individuals in reuniting with their loved ones. Here's what one of our satisfied clients had to say:

LICO for Super Visa Queries Unveiled
Q: What is a Super Visa and who is eligible?
A: Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to two years on initial entry. Eligibility hinges on several factors, including having a child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, possessing valid travel insurance, and meeting the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) criteria.
Q: How does LICO impact the Super Visa application?
A: LICO is a financial threshold below which a person or family is considered low income. For Super Visa applications, the sponsor in Canada must have income at or above the LICO to ensure the sponsored individuals are well-supported during their stay.
As a Vancouver Immigration consultant, we at Ansari Immigration have a wealth of experience guiding clients through the nuances of LICO and Super Visa applications.
Q: What is the difference between a super visa and a visitor visa?
A: A visitor visa is a type of temporary resident visa that allows eligible foreign nationals to visit Canada for up to six months at a time. A visitor visa can be valid for up to 10 years and can be used for multiple entries. However, each entry is subject to the discretion of the border officer who may grant a shorter stay.
A super visa is a type of visitor visa that allows eligible parents or grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time, without having to renew their status every six months.
