Disadvantages of Parent Sponsorship Program:
The parents/grandparents sponsorship program opens only once a year. The program goes through changes every single year. People cannot wait for the program to open once a year and wait to be picked via a lottery-based system. Also, meeting all of the requirements does not guarantee that your parents will be invited to apply for permanent residence. The unpredictability of the program is one of the reasons why people may want to consider a super visa.
In addition to the above, the low income cut off is higher compare to Super Visa Program. Keeping income consistent is very difficult for any household during these tough times, where inflation is impacting everyone.
