Navigating the Super Visa: A Pathway for Parents' Immigration to Canada

The Super Visa is a testament to this commitment, providing a unique opportunity for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit and stay with their loved ones for extended periods.

Extended Family Time: The extended stay duration allows parents to spend significant time with their families, participating in important life events and daily activities.

No Need for Frequent Renewals: With a validity of up to 10 years and the ability to stay for up to two years per visit, parents do not need to worry about frequent visa renewals.

Access to Canadian Healthcare: By requiring medical insurance, the Super Visa ensures that parents have access to Canadian healthcare services, providing peace of mind for families.

Journal Entry #2

previous // next // story index

----------

Victor

Hey! It’s me, Victor.

No, of course it’s me. Duh. Who else would it be? It’s my journal, after all. I’m still getting used to doing this, so it’ll be rough around the edges for a while.

Okay, so it’s possible I might be a tiny bit nervous. I’m in my room right now, which you can probably see, and I'm gathering up the last of my stuff for my tropical adventure on Kainani Island because I’m leaving in a few hours. I still have to figure out a way to pack my new camera safely. Yuri gave it to me as a surprise present for my trip, and I can hardly believe I now own an actual piece of photography equipment that isn’t my phone or the unpredictable old pocket camera I got from my Uncle Stephen.

I think Yuri giving me a camera means he expects me to bring home lots of beautiful pictures from Kainani Island. As well as pictures of scenery, I’ll have to take as many photos of tropical flowers as I can. Yuri loves flowers. I’d rather he saw them for himself than for me to take pictures of them, but sadly, I didn’t succeed in convincing him to come along, so you guessed it. I’m going by myself.

I’m sure Yuri isn’t happy about me flying halfway around the world. I'm convinced he thinks I’ll fall into some sort of misadventure. But like, that almost never happens, and… Okay, no. It does, but what bad thing could possibly happen in a paradise like Kainani?

Kainani Island is a tiny country, and from all my research, I’ve learned that they have an incredibly low crime rate, no factories, no paved roads, and very few motorized vehicles. Their largest industries are fishing and fruit farming, and their greatest claim to fame is how pristine the island and the ocean around it are. Taking care of their natural environment is a high priority for them. which is likely the biggest reason why they only allow a certain number of foreign visitors each year.

You have to apply for a visa to go there. I applied for visas for me and Yuri around the end of March, on the chance that Yuri would eventually make up his mind to come with me.

Let me just say that the visa process for Kainani is a lot more involved than what I had to do for Japan. As a Canadian, I didn’t even need a visa to come here. I only had to apply for a travel authorization, which took a few minutes to complete online, and then I was allowed to stay in Japan for up to 90 days as a visitor. Before the 90 days were up, Yuri and I submitted the paperwork for him to sponsor me for Japanese permanent resident status, and now I have a work permit which is valid for two years. I’m thankful for that.

It probably goes without saying, but I also feel really grateful that my visa request for Kainani was approved so fast. It's early May and it's starting to warm up nicely in Kyoto Prefecture where we live, and I suspect a lot more people would want to go to a tropical island when it’s colder here. Maybe this is a slower period of tourism for Kainani, which could explain why I got my visa so quickly.

Personally, I’d rather go to Kainani now, in spring, before it starts getting too hot there. Besides, the summers are gorgeous here, and I want to be with Yuri for the Festival of Snow and all the other fun summer activities. Also, I’ll have to get a real job soon to help pay the household expenses and fund my next big adventure. My savings aren’t going to last indefinitely, and what I make from teaching swimming lessons isn’t exactly a get rich quick plan. Yuri says late spring is the best time for a job search, since summer is peak tourist season here in the Matsumori area and more businesses will be hiring staff to accommodate the influx of visitors.

I wonder if I can find a job that involves sports. That’d be ideal, since that’s my area of expertise. My college diploma is in Health and Wellness Management, and back home in Canada I was a personal trainer and swimming instructor. I’d be happy to do something like that here, but what I’d really like is to be a snowboarding instructor like our friend Seiji Hinamori. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get paid to snowboard?

Yeah, I hear the protests, “Don’t you already get paid to snowboard?” Technically I do, but only if I win, and even though I’m awesome, wins are never guaranteed. I’ve had a couple of product deals in the past, but they were nothing major. It was just local businesses in Maple Grove who wanted an allegedly famous athlete to be in their low-budget TV commercials for random stuff that's totally unrelated to sports. Like, I was on a commercial for a pet supplies shop once. My mom and my friends thought that was hilarious. Yuri says he thinks I might be able to get better brand representation deals here. I hope he’s right, because I’m not selling any more aquarium filters or organic dog treats on community cable TV.

Okay, back to the topic of my trip. I didn't mean to get sidetracked like that, but I'm easily distracted. When I was a kid, my mom thought I had ADHD like my Uncle Stephen. She had me tested, but it turned out that I don't have it. I'm just super bad at staying on track 'cause I can't stop thinking about a hundred things at once, especially when I'm anxious or excited.

Right. I was talking about Kainani Island.

Our next-door neighbours, Jinsei and Kimiko, are going to take me to the airport. Yuri said he couldn’t do it because of some online work meeting, but I think the real reason is that he doesn’t like farewells and he didn’t want to inadvertently make a scene in public. Never mind that I’d be the one crying, it’d still be uncomfortable for him. We’ll say goodbye at home. That’ll be better for both of us, I think.

Jinsei and Kimiko are fraternal twins, and they’re around the same age as Yuri and me, and they love snowboarding as much as we do. Before I got here, Yuri didn’t know them very well despite living next door to them for two years, but I fixed that situation. Nothing says 'Hello, friends!" like a big plate of sugar cookies with frosting and rainbow sprinkles, and I'm a great baker. We started socializing a lot more after that, and now we’re all great friends.

Jinsei and Kimiko think I’m funny, although I’m not sure that’s always a compliment. Jin says I’m rambunctious. Even though that’s sorta true, it’s not a word I would’ve expected to come out of the mouth of another twenty-five year old. I think using words like that kind of makes him sound like an old man, and to me, that’s really funny.

Anyway, I asked Kimiko to look in on Yuri while I’m away, 'cause honestly, I'm worried about leaving him. It’s not that he can’t take care of himself. He lived alone before I moved in, but… you know. His health isn’t the greatest, and anything could happen to him, and I wouldn’t be here to help him if he needed me.

Our conversation earlier today didn't do much to ease my anxiety about Yuri staying alone. He had been quiet for most of the day, and it was clear to me that he was upset, although he didn't offer any explanation. It bothered me to see him like that, so I decided I'd better approach the topic myself.

“What’s up?” I asked. I dropped down beside him on the sofa and put my arm around his shoulders. “Want to talk about why you look so mopey?”

It was a stupid way to start, but no doubt you've already worked out that subtlety isn’t my strong point. Luckily for me, Yuri is used to my verbal clumsiness by now and usually puts up with me being dumb and socially inept.

He didn’t lean into my embrace, but he did look up from the book he was pretending to read. “Do I really need to tell you? You should know.”

“I’m guessing it’s about my trip,” I said.

“Yes.”

“You’re absolutely sure you don’t want to go with me?” I asked.

“You’re absolutely sure you have to go?” he countered.

“I don’t absolutely have to,” I told him. “If you really don’t want me to go—”

“No.” He shook his head. “This is what you want. I’m not going to stop you from doing it. It’s just… I’m going to miss you.”

“I’ll miss you too,” I told him. “But, it’s not like we won’t be in contact. I’ll call you every day.”

“Promise?”

“Yeah,” I said. “I promise.”

"Okay." He gave me a weak smile. “If you’re leaving tonight, hadn’t you better finish packing your stuff?”

“Ah, crap!” I exclaimed. “Yeah. I gotta get on that. I guess I’d better learn to be more organized if I’m going to make a habit of world travelling.”

And there’s the explanation for why I was shoving stuff into my bag at almost the last minute. We're right back to those attention and focus issues again. Welcome to my life.

“And you’re worried about me,” Yuri remarked. This time, his smile didn’t look forced.

“I think my concerns about you are legitimate,” I insisted.

“What do you mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean. You need to get lots of rest and have regular meals. Healthy meals. Don’t try to exist on just grape juice and soy milk while I’m gone, all right? Remember to take your medication, and eat food.”

“Okay.”

“I’m serious, Yuri. If you’re sick while I’m gone—“

He gazed at me with those beautiful, soulful brown eyes of his. “You’d come straight back, right?”

“Yes! You know I would. But knowing what you’re like, you probably wouldn’t tell me, would you?”

“No, because I wouldn’t want you to worry while you're away,” he admitted.

“You know I will anyway.“

“Try not to,” he said. “I’ll be fine.”

“You’d better be,” I said, attempting to sound fierce and failing spectacularly at it.

“Or else...?”

“Or else I’ll have no choice but to never, ever leave you again.”

He looked directly into my face and said seriously, “I’d be perfectly fine with that.”

As gently as I could, I pulled him closer for a proper hug. He only resisted for a fraction of a second. Then, he wrapped his arms around me and held onto me like he never wanted to let me go.

“I love you,” I whispered.

He didn’t respond in kind, but I didn’t find that unusual. People in Japan don’t tend to say ‘I love you’ as easily and frequently as we do in the West, even to the people who are the most important to them. I have absolutely no doubt that Yuri loves me though, regardless of how sparingly he uses the actual words.

After a minute or so, he gave me something better than a verbal reply. He pulled away from me just enough so we could kiss.

Something you should know about Yuri and me is that we rarely kiss each other on the mouth. Neither of us are particularly comfortable with touching on our lips, and both of us have to really want to do it. If we’re not both in the right headspace, it’s not gonna happen.

I remember our first real kiss. It was awkward and completely unplanned. I mean, I’d thought about it a lot, but Yuri has issues with physical contact and even though we considered ourselves a couple since before I moved here, it took a while for him to be okay with the level of physical affection we enjoy now. Our first kiss was also kind of weird for me because I’d never kissed another man before. I’ve always been attracted to people of every gender, so the concept of kissing another man wasn't the issue. It was that I’d never been in a relationship that was more than a friendship with a guy before I met Yuri, and... yeah. You know how mainstream media romanticizes first kisses and makes them seem all magical with metaphorical fireworks and glitter or whatever? It was totally not like that.

But, for all its strangeness, I can’t say I hadn’t liked it. Initially, I hadn’t been sure Yuri liked it, though. As soon as it was done, he’d pressed his face into the crook of my neck and sobbed so hard that I’d thought he was going to make himself sick.

I had tried to reassure him. “We don’t have to do that again.”

“No,” he’d managed to say. “I... I want to. Not now, but... another time? I didn’t know I could... be afraid to do it and also like it? I’m sorry. I’m not making sense.”

“Don’t worry. I get it.” I’d said. “You’re making total sense.”

And in a strange way, I felt like I knew exactly what he was experiencing even if I couldn’t explain it. It was happiness, fear, relief, safety and uncertainty all jumbled together in the most illogical emotion possible, yet it seemed perfectly appropriate for that moment. I hadn’t known how to console him then; I’d barely known how to calm myself. All I could do was hold him and stroke his hair and tell him I loved him.

Today when we kissed, Yuri didn’t cry, but it seemed he was feeling scared and uncertain.

“Hey,” I said. “Listen to me. I love you, okay? I love you more than anything.”

“More than anything? Even more than snowboarding?”

“Way more than snowboarding,” I said, suddenly concerned that I might be the one to start weeping. “More than anything. And I’m going to remind you of that every day when I call you.”

“You’d better,” he said. It came out barely audible, and wasn’t any more fierce sounding than my own attempt had been, but the intensity of emotion was there nevertheless.

“Or else...?” I murmured.

“Or else.” He didn’t get any further than that.

We sat there for a long time, just embracing each other and not talking. I couldn’t help wondering if going away was the wrong choice after all, and I spent what seemed like half an eternity trying to make arguments in my head to justify my reasons for going.

After a while, Yuri relaxed his arms. He gave me a feathery little kiss on the side of my neck and then leaned back.

“Yuri?”

“I want you to be happy,” he said. “I want you to live your life the way you want to, and if that means letting you go for a bit, then I… I’m okay with that.”

“Are you sure?”

He nodded. “Yes, I’m sure.”

“You’re amazing, you know that?” I said. “You’re so brave, and I’m proud of you.”

“I’m not the brave one. I’m not travelling around the world.”

“I’m not brave. It doesn’t take that much courage to do what you already want to do and aren't scared about,” I told him. “Courage is when you’re scared but you stay strong anyway. I know you don’t like this, but I’m glad you’re letting me do it, and I think you’re awesome for understanding.”

“Just come back to me,” he said, his voice trembling slightly. “Promise you’ll come back safe, and that’ll give me courage.”

I had to blink a bunch of times, and breathing normally around the painful lump in my throat seemed next to impossible, but I got out, “I promise.”

“Thank you,” he said. Several heartbeats ticked by and then he added softly, ‘I love you, Victor.”

Spouse Sponsorship in Canada: A Pathway to Family Reunification

Canada is celebrated for its commitment to family reunification, and one of the key pathways for bringing loved ones together is through the Spouse Sponsorship program. This initiative allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residency in Canada. Let's explore the specifics of the Spouse Sponsorship program and its benefits.

What is Spouse Sponsorship?

The Spouse Sponsorship program is part of Canada’s Family Class immigration category. It allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their foreign spouse or common-law partner to become a permanent resident of Canada. The goal is to enable families to live together in Canada and to support the integration of newcomers into Canadian society.

Key Features of Spouse Sponsorship

Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible to sponsor a spouse, the sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, be at least 18 years old, and must not be receiving social assistance (except for disability). The sponsor must also be able to provide financial support for the spouse for a specified period.

Relationship Proof: The relationship between the sponsor and the spouse must be genuine. Applicants must provide evidence of their relationship, which can include marriage certificates, joint financial documents, photographs, communication records, and affidavits from friends and family.

Inland and Outland Sponsorship: There are two main types of sponsorship – inland and outland. Inland sponsorship is for spouses already living in Canada with their sponsor, while outland sponsorship is for those living outside of Canada. Inland applicants may be eligible for an open work permit while their application is being processed.

Processing Times: The processing time for spouse sponsorship applications can vary. Generally, it takes about 12 months, but this can differ depending on the applicant's country of origin and the complexity of the application.

Conditional Permanent Residency: Previously, sponsored spouses were granted conditional permanent residency, requiring them to live with their sponsor for two years. However, this condition was removed in 2017, ensuring sponsored spouses have equal rights and protections.

Benefits of Spouse Sponsorship

Family Reunification: The primary benefit of the Spouse Sponsorship program is the ability to reunite families. Being able to live together permanently strengthens family bonds and provides emotional support.

Pathway to Citizenship: Once a spouse becomes a permanent resident, they can eventually apply for Canadian citizenship. This pathway opens up additional rights and opportunities, including the right to vote and obtain a Canadian passport.

Work and Study Opportunities: Sponsored spouses can work and study in Canada, contributing to the economy and enhancing their personal and professional development. An open work permit allows spouses to work for any employer in Canada while their application is being processed.

Access to Social Benefits: As permanent residents, sponsored spouses gain access to Canadian social benefits, including healthcare, education, and social security. This support system helps newcomers integrate and thrive in Canadian society.

No Income Requirement for Sponsorship: Unlike other family sponsorship programs, there is no minimum income requirement for sponsoring a spouse. This makes the program more accessible to a broader range of sponsors, ensuring that more families can benefit from the opportunity to reunite.

Steps to Apply for Spouse Sponsorship

Gather Documents: Collect all necessary documents, including proof of relationship, identity documents, and financial information.

Complete Forms: Fill out the required forms, which include the sponsorship application and the application for permanent residency.

Pay Fees: Pay the applicable processing fees, which cover the application, right of permanent residence, and biometric fees.

Submit Application: Submit the complete application package to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Await Processing: Monitor the application status and respond to any additional requests for information from IRCC.

Conclusion

The Spouse Sponsorship program is a cornerstone of Canada’s immigration policy, emphasising the importance of family and the country’s commitment to supporting family reunification. By offering a clear and supportive pathway to permanent residency, Canada enables spouses and common-law partners to build a life together, contributing to the social and economic fabric of the nation.

If you are considering sponsoring your spouse or being sponsored, ensure that you understand the requirements and prepare a thorough application. The journey may require patience, but the reward of being together in Canada is undoubtedly worth the effort. Through this program, Canada continues to uphold its values of compassion, diversity, and inclusion, making it a welcoming home for families from around the world.

UK ETA: Your Dream Trip Just Got Easier (But Are You Ready?)

Common Questions About the UK ETA Tourist Visa Answered

Planning a trip to the UK? Exciting! But before you pack your bags for London, Edinburgh, or beyond, you need to understand the new UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation). Introduced recently, the ETA is already sparking tons of questions from eager travelers. Don't worry; we've got you covered!

What exactly is a UK ETA? Think of it like the American ESTA or the Canadian eTA. It's an electronic permission slip that allows visa-exempt nationals to visit the UK for tourism, business, study (short courses), or transit. Basically, if you don't currently need a full visa for short trips to the UK, you'll likely need an ETA.

Who needs one? This is key! The ETA applies to citizens of countries who can currently enter the UK without a visa for short stays. The UK government has a list of eligible nationalities on their official website, so double-check if your country is on it.

How do I apply? The application process is entirely online and relatively straightforward. You'll need a valid passport, your travel details, and a payment method for the ETA fee. Be prepared to answer questions about your background and reason for visiting. Apply well in advance of your trip to avoid any last-minute stress!

How long is it valid for? An approved ETA is typically valid for multiple visits over a period of two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. This means you can explore different regions of the UK without reapplying each time. However, remember that each stay must still adhere to the maximum allowed duration for visa-exempt visitors (usually 6 months).

What if I'm refused an ETA? If your ETA application is denied, you'll likely need to apply for a full visa to enter the UK. The reasons for refusal can vary, so it's important to understand the specific reason given (if any) and potentially seek advice from the UK embassy or consulate in your country.

The UK ETA is a significant change to UK travel, so staying informed is essential. Don't let confusion derail your travel plans!

What to Write in Your Canada Visitor Visa Invitation Letter

When applying for a Canada visitor visa, one crucial document that can help secure approval is the invitation letter. If you are visiting family, friends, or for tourism, this letter outlines your purpose, duration of stay, and assures immigration authorities that your visit is genuine. A clear and well-structured Canada visitor visa invitation letter can greatly enhance your chances of approval. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the key elements to include in your invitation letter.

Purpose of the Invitation Letter

The invitation letter is an official document from someone in Canada who is inviting you to visit. It serves to confirm the legitimacy of your visit and gives Canadian immigration authorities clarity on your stay. It should state the visitor’s name, the host's name, the relationship between both parties, and the purpose of the trip. Whether it's for tourism, family reunion, or business, clearly outline why you are visiting Canada.

Essential Details to Include

The letter must mention the names, addresses, and contact details of both the host and the visitor. For example, if you're visiting family, specify the relationship, such as "I am inviting my sister [Visitor’s Name] to spend two weeks in Canada with me." You also need to mention the host's status in Canada, whether they are a citizen or permanent resident. If the host is inviting someone for a family event or tourist purposes, provide a brief explanation of the visit’s goals, such as sightseeing or attending an important occasion.

Duration and Accommodation Details

In your invitation letter, include the visitor’s intended duration of stay and travel dates. Clearly state when the visitor plans to enter and leave Canada. If you are offering accommodation, mention where the visitor will stay, including the host's address. If the visitor will arrange their own accommodation, this should be noted as well.

Financial Support and Responsibility

A vital part of the letter is to explain who will be financially responsible during the visit. If the host will cover expenses such as accommodation and travel, mention this. If the visitor is funding their own trip, include details to show they can support themselves during their stay, such as bank statements or employment information.

Assuring Return to Home Country

The Canada visitor visa invitation letter should also reassure immigration authorities that the visitor will return to their home country after the trip. Highlight the visitor’s ties to their home country, like family, work, or education. A statement such as, “My sister plans to return to India after the visit as she is employed at [Company Name]” can help strengthen your application.

Host’s Legal Status in Canada

It is also important to include the host’s legal status in Canada. Attach a copy of the host’s Canadian passport or permanent resident card to establish their legitimacy.

A well-written Canada visitor visa invitation letter is crucial for your visa application. By including the right details about the visit’s purpose, duration, accommodation, and financial arrangements, you can help convince immigration authorities that the visit is legitimate. Ensure the letter is clear, concise, and professional, and include all supporting documents to enhance your chances of approval. A thorough invitation letter can play a significant role in obtaining your Canada visitor visa.

India has stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens amid an escalating row over the killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil.

India said the temporary move was due to "security threats" disrupting work at its missions in Canada.

Tensions flared this week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said India may have been behind the 18 June killing.

But Mr Trudeau said on Thursday he was not looking to provoke India with the allegation.

India has angrily rejected the allegation, calling it "absurd".

Speaking to reporters in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Mr Trudeau said: "There is no question that India is a country of growing importance and a country we need to continue to work with."

He said Canada was not looking to provoke India or cause problems with the allegation but is unequivocal about the importance of the rule of law and protecting Canadians.

Relations between the countries - key trade and security partners, and US allies - have been strained for months. Analysts say they are now at an all-time low.

India's government swiftly made clear the suspension of visa services also "applies to Canadians in a third country".

"There have been threats made to our high commission [embassy] and consulates in Canada," a foreign affairs ministry spokesman in Delhi said. "This has disrupted their normal functioning. Accordingly [they] are temporarily unable to process visa applications."

He said: "India is looking for parity in rank and diplomatic strength between the diplomatic missions of the two countries. This is being sought because of Canadian diplomatic interference in our internal affairs."

Hours earlier Canada had announced it was reducing its personnel in India, saying some diplomats had received threats on social media.

"In light of the current environment where tensions have heightened, we are taking action to ensure the safety of our diplomats," a statement said.

Canada's visa services remain open in India.

The two countries have historic close ties - and much is at stake.

How India-Canada ties descended into a public feud

Why are some Sikhs calling for a separate state?

Canada has 1.4 million people of Indian origin - more than half of them Sikhs - making up 3.7% of the country's population, according to the 2021 census. India also sends the highest number of international students to Canada - in 2022, they made up 40% of total overseas students at 320,000.

According to Indian government statistics, about 80,000 Canadian tourists visited India in 2021, behind only the US, Bangladesh and UK.

The row burst into the open on Monday after Canada linked India with the murder of separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen who was shot dead in his vehicle by two masked gunmen outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada's intelligence agencies were investigating whether "agents of the government of India" were involved in the killing of Nijjar - who India designated a terrorist in 2020.

India reacted strongly, saying Canada was trying to "shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists" who had been given shelter there. The Indian government has often reacted sharply to demands by Sikh separatists in Western countries for Khalistan, or a separate Sikh homeland.

On Thursday, Mr Trudeau was pressed by journalists about what evidence there was that suggested India was linked to the murder.

He did not share further details, but said "the decision to share these allegations was not done lightly".

"It was done with the utmost seriousness," Mr Trudeau said, urging Indian officials to cooperate with the investigation into the killing.

A spokesperson for the Indian foreign ministry said Canada has not shared specific information with India on Nijjar's murder.

"We have conveyed this to the Canadian side, made it clear to them that we are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us," said Arindam Bagchi on Thursday. "But so far we have not received any such specific information."

The Khalistan movement peaked in India in the 1980s with a violent insurgency centred in Sikh-majority Punjab state.

It was quelled by force and has little resonance in India now, but is still popular among some in the Sikh diaspora in countries such as Canada, Australia and the UK.
