About the Super Visa Eligibility Requirements
To sponsor your parents or grandparents for a Canadian super visa, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and meet the MNI (Minimum Necessary Income) threshold for your household size. Starting March 31, 2026, IRCC eased the rules: you can qualify using income from either of the two most recent tax years — you only need to meet the threshold in one.
MNI Thresholds — effective July 29, 2025
| Household Size | Minimum Income |
|---|---|
| 2 people | $38,002 |
| 3 people | $46,720 |
| 4 people | $56,724 |
| 5 people | $64,336 |
| 6 people | $72,560 |
| 7+ people | $80,784 |

Your household size includes you, your dependents, and the parent(s)/grandparent(s) you are sponsoring. If your 2025 income covers at least 75% of the threshold, your parent's Canadian income can top up the rest.
