New Super Visa Income Requirements: What You Need to Know

Hey there! If you’re a Canadian citizen or permanent resident thinking about inviting your parents or grandparents to visit you on a Super Visa, there’s some important news you should know about. As of July 29, 2025, the income requirements are going up, and it’s crucial to ensure you meet them.

To host your family, you must meet specific minimum income levels according to the size of your family. For example, if you’re on your own, you’ll need to earn at least $30,526. If you have a partner and kids, your requirements will increase!

Here are the basics:

• If you’re supporting yourself, the minimum is $30,526.
• With a spouse or partner, it goes up to $38,002.
• If you want to bring your parents, and you have a couple of kids, your benchmark becomes $64,336.

Keep in mind that you can combine incomes with your partner to meet this requirement, which can make it easier!

The Super Visa allows your parents or grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time, and they may be granted visitor status for up to 10 years! Isn’t that amazing?

Wondering how to prove your income? You’ll need documents like your Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency and some pay stubs. Check out the full list for all the details!

If you’re curious about how this compares to the Parents and Grandparents Program, note that while the Super Visa is available year-round, the PGP opens only once a year via a lottery system.
