孙⼉儿财政担保等等条件.)
To be eligible for a super visa, you must:
• be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada
• have a signed letter from your child or grandchild who invites you to Canada that includes:
◦ a promise of financial support for the length of your visit
◦ the list and number of people in the household of this person
◦ a copy of this person’s Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document
• have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is:
◦ valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry
◦ at least $100,000 coverage
◦ have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)
You must also:
• apply for a super visa from outside Canada
• be allowed to enter Canada
• take an immigration medical exam
• meet certain other conditions
You can’t include dependants in this application.
Financial support (proof of funds)
The child or grandchild who invites you must prove that their household meets the minimum necessary income. The
following documents are examples of what can be used as proof of funds:
• Notice of Assessment (NOA) or T4/T1 for the most recent tax year
• Employment Insurance stubs
• employment letter including salary and date of hiring
• pay stubs
• bank statements
Other conditions we consider
We consider several things before we decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a genuine visitor to Canada who
will leave by choice at the end of your visit.
We’ll look at these things when you apply:
• your ties to your home country
• the purpose of your visit
• your family and finances
• the overall economic and political stability of your home country

How to apply
Get your documents ready
Before you apply for a super visa, you need:
• a letter of invitation from your child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada that
includes:
◦ a promise of financial support for the duration of your visit
◦ the list and number of people in the household of this person
◦ a copy of this person’s Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document
• proof that your child or grandchild’s household meets the minimum necessary income; examples include:
◦ Notice of Assessment (NOA) or T4/T1 for the most recent tax year
◦ Employment Insurance stubs

◦ bank statements
• proof of payment for medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is:
◦ valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry
◦ at least $100,000 coverage
• a document confirming that you had an immigration medical exam

Are you visa-exempt? You can still apply for a super visa.
If you don’t need a visitor visa to enter Canada, you can still get a super visa to stay in Canada for up to 2 years. If we
approve your application, we’ll issue you a letter to give to a border services officer when you arrive in Canada.
If you travel by air, you may also need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) separately to allow you to
travel to and enter Canada. The eTA will be electronically linked to your passport, so you need to travel with the passport
you used to apply for your eTA, and your letter to facilitate your travel to Canada.
Apply for a super visa
You must apply for a super visa from outside Canada. You can apply online or on paper.
If you need assistance, you can get help with your application at your nearest visa application centre (VAC).

• attend a DLI with a COVID-19 readiness plan approved by its province or territory
You won’t be able to travel to Canada if you don’t have a study permit and your DLI isn’t on the approved list.

• leave Canada when your permit expires
Depending on your case, there may be conditions on your study permit such as:
• if you’re allowed to work in Canada
• if you’re allowed to travel within Canada
• the date you must stop studying
People who don’t need a permit to study in Canada
Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada. The cases below are exceptions.
Short-term studies (6 months or less)
Due to COVID-19, the requirements to enter Canada as a student have changed, even for short-term studying. Find out
what you need if you want to study in Canada for 6 months or less.

You may not need a study permit if you’re a family or staff member of a foreign representative to Canada that has been
accredited by Global Affairs Canada (GAC). Your embassy can contact GAC to find out if you need one.

Post-graduation work permit validity


A post-graduation work permit may be issued based on the length of the study program for a minimum of 8 months up to a
maximum of 3 years.
When determining the length of a post-graduation work permit, officers may consider the duration of the program of study
in Canada and confirm it with supporting documents. Regularly scheduled breaks (for example, scheduled winter
and summer breaks) should be included in the time accumulated toward the length of the post-graduation work
permit.
Distance learning
Distance learning can be considered online learning. Students who complete a program of study exclusively by distance
learning (outside or within Canada) are not eligible for a post-graduation work permit.
Officers should use the following guidelines to assess an applicant’s post-graduation work permit eligibility when the
applicant has taken distance learning in Canada at an eligible DLI:
- If more than 50% of the program of study’s total courses are completed by distance learning, the program may
reasonably be considered a distance-learning program, and the applicant is ineligible for a post-graduation work
permit.
- If less than 50% of the program of study’s total courses are completed by distance learning, a post-graduation work
permit may be issued. The validity should be based on the length of the program, as confirmed by the eligible
DLI, including credits earned from both in-class and distance-learning courses.
Note: If the distance-learning courses are completed outside Canada, they must be excluded from the time
accumulated toward the length of the post-graduation work permit.

reaching his goal of becoming a permanent resident (most likely by
helping him obtain his PGWP, then applying under a PNP or CEC/FSW,
depending on his work experience at that point, but this is outside of the
scope of the question). It’s also important to look at A22(2) to understand
that a person can have dual intent to transition from TR to PR without it

Caregiver programs (Temporary Residence)

There are three options for individuals who want to work in Canada as caregivers:
1. Home Child Care Provider Pilot Program (HCCPP)– no LMIA required
2. Home Support Worker Pilot Program (HSWPP) – no LMIA required
3. Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) – LMIA required
※ The LMIA application processing fee is $1000 per position. Employers with medical needs or those with a
household gross income of less than $150,000 do not need to pay the fee.

As a caregiver, you have options to come to Canada to become a permanent resident or work temporarily.

1. HCCPP and HSWP are not options for individuals destined to work as caregivers in Quebec. Individuals
intending to work as caregivers in Quebec will need to apply for a work permit under the TFWP.
2. IRCC will process work permit applications for caregivers overseas if their destination is Quebec.
3. IRCC will NOT process work permit applications for caregivers overseas if their destination is outside of Quebec.
4. IRCC will process work permit applications for caregivers who are already in Canada, regardless of their
destination.
5. HCCPP and HSWP are not offered in Quebec.
6. An offer of employment is not required when the applicant has already met the 24 months experience requirement.
They also do not need to be currently employed.

The occupation-restricted open work permit that comes with the HCCPP and HSWP will have the following conditions:
• may not engage in employment in the province of Quebec
• may not work in a field outside the HCCPP (NOC 4411) – if the holder is a home child care provider
• may not work in a field outside the HSWP (NOC 4412) – if the holder is a home support worker
• not valid for employment in businesses related to the sex trade such as strip clubs, massage parlours or escort services
• unless authorized
• prohibited from attending any educational institution, or taking any academic, professional or vocational training course

Since August 24, 2020, individuals on a visitor’s visa are temporarily allowed to apply for an employer-specific work permit
without having to leave Canada. Additionally, those visitors who had valid work permits within the last 12 months (and are
now expired) can also start working (for the employer listed in their work permit application) immediately after submitting
the work permit application.
The way it works is quite simple. Only two NOCs can participate in the pilots: NOC 4411 (Home Child Care Providers) and
NOC 4412 (Home Support Workers). To be eligible to apply for PR status, the caregiver must get CLB 5 equivalent
language test result, one-year post secondary education equivalent, and the two years work experience under NOC 4412
or 4411. There are two ways to apply: before getting the required work experience or after getting the required work
experience.

Applying before getting the required experience


The applicant will get an occupation-specific open work permit which will be valid for three years. Their PR application
will remain pending until they can submit proof that they have the required two years experience already. Family members
can apply for a study permit or a work permit.

Senario Examples:
1. Eva is a registered nurse in the Philippines who wants to work in Canada as a home support worker. She found a
caregiver employer who is in Quebec. In this case, Eva must apply for a work permit. She cannot apply for permanent
residence through the HCCPP or HSWP since these pilot programs are not available in Quebec.
2. Olga is a caregiver who is currently in Malaysia. An employer in Ontario hired her to be their caregiver under NOC
4411. In this case, Olga can apply for permanent residence under the HCCPP. She cannot apply for a work permit
under the TFWP because IRCC will only process it if she was destined to work in Quebec.
3. Emily has been working in Ontario as a home support worker on an employer-specific work permit for 12 months. An
employer in Alberta hired her to look after an elderly with disability. In this case, Emily can either apply for permanent
residence under the HSWP or apply for a new employer-specific work permit.
4. Janna is a caregiver in British Columbia. She wants to work for another employer in Quebec. In this case, Janna must
apply for a new work permit. She cannot apply for permanent residence through the HCCPP or HSWP since these
pilot programs are not available in Quebec. Once she has the required 24 months experience, she may apply for PR
status under HCCPP or HSWP but must prove that she intends to settle outside of the province of Quebec.

start a new job with a different employer, as long as the worker
is still in the same role (either Home Child Care Provider and Home
Support Worker, but they cannot interchange).
