Canada Raises Income Requirements for Super Visa Applicants
Canada Raises Income Requirements for Super Visa Applicants
Canada Increases Income Requirements to Host Parents and Grandparents on Super Visa
As of July 29, 2025, the Government of Canada has raised the minimum income requirements for citizens and permanent residents wishing to host their parents or grandparents under the Super Visa program.
The Super Visa is a long-term, multiple-entry visitor visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to five years at a time, with visa validity extending up to 10 years.
To qualify as a host under the Super Visa program, the applicant must now demonstrate a higher level of financial capability, reflecting updated Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) values.
Updated Income Thresholds:
The required income has increased for all family sizes. For example:
A single-person household now requires $30,526, up from $29,380 in 2024.
A family of four must meet $56,724, compared to $54,594 previously.
For each additional person beyond 7, add $8,224 to the required income.
Importantly, applicants may combine their income with a spouse or common-law partner to meet these minimums.
Why the Increase?
These changes reflect the rising cost of living in Canada and aim to ensure hosts are financially capable of supporting visiting parents or grandparents without relying on public services.
How the Super Visa Works?
Valid for up to 10 years.
Allows multiple entries.
Parents/grandparents can stay for up to 5 years per visit.
Requires private medical insurance and proof of financial support.
