A letter of invitation from the applicant's child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident is required (and proof of the relationship). A contract offering financial support to the super visa applicant must be signed by the child or grandchild who is delivering the letter of invitation, and they must also show that they have the required amount of income (referred to as the Low Income Cut-Off).

• the applicant's connections to their nation of origin;
• the financial and family status of the applicant;
• what brought the applicant there;
• the applicant's nation's general political and economic stability; and
• Canadian hosts extended invitations.

Unless they are citizens of a nation that is exempt from this condition, applicants must also submit an application for a Temporary Resident Visa in order to be granted a Super Visa. Parents and grandparents will be able to travel freely between Canada and their home country on a frequent basis with a TRV and Super Visa instead of needing to reapply for a TRV every time they wish to visit Canada. Applications must include the required multiple-entry fee and a request for a multiple entry visa valid for up to ten years.

If applicants are from a nation that does not require a TRV, they may also apply for a Super Visa; however, in this case, an official letter will be provided to them in place of a TRV.
