Canada Super Visa Documents Checklist
Everything your parents or grandparents need to apply
What You Need to Assemble
A Super Visa application succeeds on the strength of its supporting documents. The core pieces are a strong invitation letter from the child or grandchild in Canada, valid medical insurance, proof that the host meets the minimum income (LICO), evidence of the family relationship, and an immigration medical exam.
Below is a practical checklist most applicants prepare. Your exact list depends on your visa office and circumstances, so treat this as a starting point and confirm your personalised requirements before you submit.
Super Visa Document Checklist
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Invitation letter from host | Confirms the invitation and promise of support in Canada |
| Proof of medical insurance | From a Canadian or approved insurer, covering roughly one year |
| Proof of host income (LICO) | Tax and income records showing the minimum income is met |
| Relationship proof | Documents showing the parent or grandparent relationship |
| Valid passport | Must be valid for the intended stay |
| Immigration medical exam | Usually required for long-stay applicants |
| Proof of host status | Shows the host is a citizen or permanent resident |
This is a general checklist. Your visa office may require additional documents — confirm current requirements before applying.
Where Applications Commonly Slip
The two documents that most often cause problems are insurance and income proof. Make sure the medical insurance is from a Canadian or approved insurer, meets the minimum coverage, and is valid for about a year — and that the host's income clearly meets the LICO for their family size with proper tax records. A weak invitation letter that does not explain the purpose and length of the visit is another frequent gap. Confirm the current insurance and LICO figures before you buy or file.
