Super Visa Mississauga
A Super Visa Mississauga application requires an eligible host, current income evidence, qualifying medical insurance, an immigration medical exam, and temporary-resident eligibility. Since March 31, 2026, IRCC has provided two ways to meet the minimum necessary income. The host and an eligible spouse or common-law co-signer may meet the full threshold in either preceding tax year. Alternatively, they may meet at least 75% in the preceding year before eligible applicant income covers the balance. Mirzoyan Immigration prepares and submits the full host-and-applicant package for Mississauga and Peel-Region families inviting a parent or grandparent for a stay of up to five years per entry. Narek Mirzoyan (RCIC # R1005184) and Vahe Mirzoyan (RCIC # R514223) lead every file, serving Mississauga in person, online, or by phone, in English, Russian, and Armenian.

Is the Super Visa the Right Path for Your Parents or Grandparents?
The Super Visa is for parents and grandparents of hosts who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or registered Indians. The host must be at least 18 and live in Canada. For applications submitted on or after June 22, 2023, it can authorize stays of five years per entry. It provides multiple entries for up to 10 years, although passport or biometrics validity may shorten the visa. Ordinary visitor status is normally authorized for up to six months. It is not a route to permanent residence. The profiles below are the ones that fit.
This service is right for you if:
You are at least 18, live in Canada, and are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered Indian.
You want to host a parent or grandparent for longer than the standard six-month visitor stay.
Your household meets the full income threshold in either preceding tax year. Alternatively, host and eligible co-signer income reaches at least 75% in the preceding year before applicant income is added.
Your parent or grandparent completes the required medical exam. They hold qualifying private insurance with at least CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage.
Your parent or grandparent has no criminal or security inadmissibility issues.
You want a long visit while the 2025 PGP intake is closed. IRCC is not accepting new PGP applications in 2026 until further instructions.
Dependants cannot be included in a Super Visa application. Each eligible applicant submits separately.
What Mirzoyan Immigration Handles on Your Mississauga Super Visa File
Mirzoyan Immigration prepares and submits the full application on your behalf. That includes drafting the signed invitation letter with the financial-support promise and full family-size list IRCC requires. The firm then applies the correct income method and organizes the CRA or alternative evidence IRCC permits. Where IRCC permits alternative proof, the file may use a T1, T4, recent pay stubs, or an employer letter. Bank statements and other listed income records may also apply. The firm completes the current IRCC Portal application, any country-specific documents, and IMM 5476 when appointed as representative. The firm reviews your parent's policy against IRCC's coverage, payment, duration, and insurer requirements. It coordinates the required exam with an approved panel physician. Biometrics are arranged after IRCC gives instructions, when required. You provide the source documents. The firm builds and submits the file. For the national service overview rather than the Mississauga-specific page, speak with a super visa consultant about your file.
How the Super Visa Process Works for a Mississauga Host
The process runs in five steps, and step one decides whether the file is viable at all. Many Mississauga hosts draft the invitation letter before they know whether their income clears the threshold, which wastes weeks. Confirm the income first.
-
Your host must be at least 18, live in Canada, and be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered Indian. Under the first income method, the host and eligible co-signer meet the full threshold in either preceding tax year. Under the second, they meet at least 75% in the preceding year before qualifying applicant income covers the balance. Only the host's spouse or common-law partner may co-sign. Applicant income proof must show that the income will continue in Canada and identify the currency.
-
The firm produces the IRCC-compliant invitation letter on your letterhead and packages the financial documents to match. You sign the letter and provide proof of your status (citizenship certificate or PR card scan) plus proof of your relationship to the applicant.
-
The policy must provide at least CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage for one year from entry. It must cover health care, hospitalization, and repatriation. A foreign insurer must be OSFI-authorized, federally listed, and issue the policy through its Canadian insurance business. The foreign policy needs the required confirming statement. The policy may be paid in full or by instalments with a deposit. A quote is not accepted. Proof must be valid and available on every entry.
-
Every applicant must complete an immigration medical exam with an approved panel physician. Biometrics are given after IRCC issues an instruction letter, when required.
-
The applicant must be outside Canada when the application is submitted. The firm uses the appropriate IRCC Portal under signed IMM 5476 authority. A required visa is printed through a visa office outside Canada. Visa-exempt applicants receive a confirmation letter and may need a separate eTA for air travel.
Documents You Will Need to Submit
Two sets of documents drive every super visa file: yours as the Mississauga host, and your parent's or grandparent's as the applicant.
From you (the host):
Notice of Assessment for the year used under the full-threshold method. The 75% method uses preceding-year evidence and any required applicant-income proof.
Where IRCC permits alternative proof, use the relevant T4 or T1, recent pay stubs, employer letter, bank statements, or listed income records.
Proof that the host is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered Indian.
Signed invitation letter listing every person in the family-size calculation, including each person's name and date of birth.
Proof of relationship to the applicant. A birth certificate or other document showing the parent-or-grandparent link.
From your parent or grandparent (the applicant):
Valid passport. Passport validity may limit how long the visa can be issued.
Qualifying policy with at least CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage for one year from entry. It may be paid in full or by instalments with a deposit.
Immigration medical-exam confirmation from a panel physician.
Police certificate from the country of residence, where applicable.
Recent digital photo meeting IRCC photo specifications.
Biometrics are completed after IRCC issues instructions, when required. They are not normally a pre-submission document.
Typical Timeline and Government Fees
Processing time depends on the visa office serving your parent's country of residence, and super visa figures vary by office more than most IRCC files. Pull the live number from the IRCC processing-times tool on the day you submit, because the range shifts week to week. Preparation time depends on document readiness, insurance, and medical-exam scheduling. One fixed preparation estimate is not reliable for every family.
Government fees are set by IRCC and paid to IRCC. IRCC charges $100 per visa-required applicant and $85 for biometrics when required. Visa-exempt applicants do not pay those two fees. Check the IRCC fees page. The immigration medical exam is paid to the panel physician and varies by country. Insurance cost varies by age, health, policy terms, and insurer. IRCC does not publish a standard premium. The Mirzoyan service fee is a transparent flat fee, quoted in writing after the consultation, published on our immigration consultant cost page. Book a consultation and the firm will quote the flat fee for your file.
Common Mistakes That Lead to Super Visa Refusals
A Mississauga Super Visa file can fail on host-income math, insurance eligibility, or inconsistent invitation details. The parent must also satisfy temporary-resident requirements.
-
Since January 28, 2025, IRCC has accepted qualifying policies from companies outside Canada. The insurer must be OSFI-authorized, appear on the federal list, and issue the policy through its Canadian insurance business. A broker or claims administrator is not the insurer. The foreign policy needs the required confirming statement. It must cover one year from entry and be paid in full or by instalments with a deposit. A quote or shorter travel policy does not qualify.
-
A Mississauga household of four inviting both parents counts six people, not four. Family size also includes applicable dependent children, prior invitation letters, and active sponsorship undertakings. Under the first income method, the host and eligible co-signer may qualify in either preceding tax year. Under the second, their preceding-year income must reach at least 75%. Applicant income may cover the balance when it will continue in Canada and the proof identifies the currency.
-
A future permanent-residence plan does not automatically bar a temporary visa. However, the evidence must still show that the parent will leave when the authorized stay ends. IRCC considers home-country ties, visit purpose, family, and finances. A stay of up to five years does not remove that assessment.
-
IRCC compares the invitation letter with the financial evidence. The letter must list everyone in the family-size calculation, including names and birth dates, and promise financial support. Conflicting income or household figures can make the file unreliable and may lead to further questions. The firm cross-checks the invitation against the selected income evidence before submission.

Frequently Asked Questions About Super Visas in Mississauga
-
Mirzoyan Immigration charges a transparent flat fee, quoted in writing after the consultation. The fee depends on file complexity, including whether the host is employed or self-employed and whether one or two parents are applying. Government charges are separate. IRCC charges $100 per visa-required applicant and $85 for biometrics when required. Visa-exempt applicants do not pay those fees. The firm confirms its service fee before work begins.
-
IRCC does not publish one processing time for Mississauga hosts. The estimate depends on the country where the parent or grandparent applies. Check the IRCC processing-times tool when the application is ready because the estimate can change. Preparation time also depends on document readiness, the medical examination, and insurance. One fixed estimate is not reliable for every family.
-
No. Mirzoyan Immigration serves Mississauga hosts in person, online, or by phone. Consultations can take place through Zoom or Microsoft Teams, and documents can be exchanged securely. The host signs the invitation letter, while the parent or grandparent must apply from outside Canada. The firm can submit through the appropriate IRCC Portal under signed representative authority.
-
Yes, if the insurer qualifies under IRCC's rules. The policy needs at least CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage for one year from entry. It must cover health care, hospitalization, and repatriation. A foreign insurer must be OSFI-authorized, federally listed, and issue the policy through its Canadian insurance business. The policy needs the required statement. A quote is not accepted. It may be paid in full or by instalments with a deposit.
-
Possibly. IRCC now provides two income methods. Under the first, the host and eligible co-signer meet the full threshold in either preceding tax year. Under the second, they meet at least 75% in the preceding year. The applying parent or grandparent may cover the balance with income that will continue in Canada. The proof must identify the payment currency. Only the host's spouse or common-law partner may co-sign.
-
Living in Mississauga does not let a visiting parent submit a new Super Visa application from within Canada. The applicant must be outside Canada on the submission date and during any required visa printing. The Canadian host can provide the invitation, income records, and family-size calculation while the parent applies through the IRCC Portal abroad.
-
Yes. The Super Visa program remains available to qualifying parents and grandparents. It should not be confused with the Parents and Grandparents Program, which uses separate permanent-residence intake instructions. Super Visa approval still depends on the host, income, insurance, medical, relationship, and temporary-resident requirements in force when IRCC assesses the application.
-
A Mississauga family starts by confirming the host's family size and current income method. The parent or grandparent then secures qualifying insurance and completes the immigration medical examination. Next, the applicant gathers relationship and invitation evidence and applies online from outside Canada. IRCC may request biometrics and passport submission after filing.
-
No. Super Visa status by itself does not make a visitor eligible for OHIP. Ontario states in its OHIP eligibility rules that visitors from outside Canada do not qualify for provincial coverage. Super Visa applicants must maintain the private medical insurance IRCC requires. Someone who later obtains a separate OHIP-eligible status should confirm eligibility directly with ServiceOntario.
