IRCC Updates Document Requirements for Super Visa Program

[debashish745]

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly known as CIC) has updated the documents required in order to submit an application for the Super Visa Program, which allows the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to come to Canada as visitors for an extended period.
New document requirements
One of the eligibility requirements for sponsors (i.e. the Canadian citizen or permanent resident sponsoring a parent or grandparent) is that they meet a minimum income threshold. From now on, the tax documents that IRCC will request in order to assess income level will comprise of printouts from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) My Account, which applicants can access themselves. This change comes into effect immediately, and is now reflected in the list of required documents for Super Visa applicants.

FYI – Worth Reading !!
On June 14, 2016, the Canadian government launched its new innovation strategy, which includes a vow to speed up the immigration process for foreign skilled workers joining rapidly growing tech firms.
Although the announcement of the new innovation strategy is lacking in specific details, one explicit goal agreed upon by numerous ministers is to cut down wait times for these foreign workers. Currently, the foreign skilled worker immigration process typically takes a minimum of six months; a standard that is unsuitable for the fast-paced world of technology. Employers in the tech industry claim that the government delays are hindering the growth of their firms by preventing them from recruiting top candidates from outside Canada.
While speaking at another event, John McCallum, the Canadian Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, recognized that, although the government reached its six-month-target 80% of the time last year, this is not the tech industry’s idea of a quick immigration process. McCallum went on to say that, “we want to open our doors to the best and the brightest…so, obviously, I will be working very hard to try to accommodate their needs as best I can.”
