Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[harshad patel]

Hi All,

I got selected for my parents sponsorship. My quick question, is the income criteria of "family income" means myself and husband together or it is just mine that will be considered.

The thing is my 2015 income is bit less as I was self employed however, family income (with my husband) meets the criteria.
Any insights will be appreciated.

Congratulations! This is wonderful news! You are so lucky to have got this opportunity to sponsor your parents.

Your husband and you can apply as co-sponsors. When you submitted the interest to sponsor there was a section that spelled out how much you need for each Financial Years LICO which you had to tick yes in order to submit your interest to sponsor. Did you tick yes?

How much coverage do you apply for?

It seems like the coverage is in $$? It's not like say our provincial health care premiums format where it just covers all consult and procedures?

how much is enough in $$ terms? Looks like they only go up to $100,000 coverage. That's not enough for things like an AMI with stent or Cancer treatment.

I didn't get selected either. Well but I guess it is the fairest way to choose applicants so at least we should be happy with the system!

As long as your spouse is Canadian citizen/PR, and his 2015 income was earned while living in Canada, then if he's a co-signer you will combine your income with his for 3 previous tax years.

He must also be counted in your family size regardless if he's a co-signer or not.

The coverage is $100k,
imo, if there's emergency, you pay first, then claim reimbursement from the insurer.

Yes.

To be honest this is the first time I have looked at the super visa and medical insurance option. The insurance plan is not sufficient to cover the health care costs of an elderly person living in Canada. $100,000 coverage is too little.

I'll go ask around whether they have more comprehensive packages. I'd rather pay a $100,000 in insurance premiums and make sure everything is covered for their entire lives than to play around with possible charges that can go into the millions. Mind you, most physicians don;t even know how to bill foreign patients. What is considered a reasonable fee? I am not aware of any guidelines.

I do have a friend whose father visited them in Edmonton and they did not buy travel insurance. He had an AMI. The bills went into excess of $500,000 before they finally got him fit enough to fly back to his home country.

So even with the travel insurance I am guessing the coverage would only have been $100,000?

It's really tough.

$100K is the minimum for the SV requirement, of course you can buy more if you want.

Ah I see. Ok thanks. The online quote system didnt go above $100k.

I think annual coverage to $500,000 would be safer.

If you are on supervisa can you still try your luck with the lottery? Or does supervisa preclude one taking part successfully in the lottery?

Yes, you can still join in the lottery, same as if the parent is in PGP in-process, can still apply for SV.

Yeah I will probably try to convince my parents to come this way. The lottery is indeed a lottery (literally)! LOL!

Hey Guys, I am a bit confused...

Lottery is for PR application for parents and grand-parents? for supervisa there is no such thing as lottery right?
