Super visa income calculator
Count your household, plus the parents or grandparents you’re inviting. The minimum comes from IRCC’s current table, and since March 2026 either of your last two tax years can count.
Questions people ask
Who counts in the family size?
You (the host), your spouse or common-law partner (even if separated), your dependent children wherever they live, the parents or grandparents you’re inviting, anyone already here on a super visa under your letter of invitation, and anyone you sponsored whose undertaking is still in effect.
Can my spouse’s income count?
Yes. A spouse or common-law partner can co-sign the letter of invitation, and their income is added to yours. Other relatives, such as a brother or sister, can’t co-sign.
Can my parents’ own income count?
Since March 31, 2026, partly. If your household reaches at least 75% of the minimum, the parents’ or grandparents’ own continuing income (a pension, for example) can make up the rest, up to 25%. You need to show it will keep coming while they are in Canada.
What proof of income does IRCC accept?
IRCC lists accepted documents such as a Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment, T4 or T1 slips, an employment letter with pay stubs, and bank statements. Check the current list on IRCC’s forms and documents page before you apply.
