Frequently asked questions
- What is the Super Visa income requirement for 2026?
- The host must meet the Low Income Cut-Off plus 30% (LICO+30%) for their family size. For 2026 applications: 2 people $38,002, 3 people $46,720, 4 people $56,724, 5 people $64,336, 6 people $72,560, 7 or more $80,784 CAD. The table was last updated by IRCC on July 29, 2025.
- What changed in the Super Visa income rules in March 2026?
- Effective March 31, 2026, IRCC made two changes: (1) the host can qualify using either of the two taxation years before the application, instead of only the most recent year; and (2) the visiting parent's or grandparent's own income can be added to the host's income to reach the threshold.
- Who counts in my family size for the Super Visa?
- Count yourself, your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children, the parents or grandparents you are inviting, and anyone else you sponsor. A family of two parents inviting both grandparents with one child would be a family size of 5.
- How do I prove my income for a Super Visa?
- The strongest proof is your CRA Notice of Assessment (line 15000) for the qualifying tax year. Employment letters, pay stubs, and T4s can support the application. A co-signing spouse's income for the same year can be combined with yours.
- What if I don't meet the Super Visa income requirement?
- Options include: adding a co-signer (spouse/common-law partner), including the visitor's own income (allowed since March 2026), using your other eligible tax year, or applying for a regular visitor visa (TRV), which has no fixed income requirement but allows shorter stays.
