According to the World Journal in Canada, in order to clear the backlog of parent and grandparent immigration cases, Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced that no new applications will be accepted for two years, and a new 10-year 'Super Visa' will be introduced. However, some Chinese sponsors who are still waiting for their parents' immigration applications believe this is like comparing apples to oranges, which is quite ridiculous. They only hope that their parents' immigration visas will be approved quickly, as the cost of medical insurance is high, and they will not apply for the 'Super Visa' for them.

Miss Li, who submitted her application to sponsor her parents' immigration in 2007, stated that she has been waiting for four years for the Immigration Department to review her sponsorship eligibility, and she does not know when she will be approved and when her case will be sent to the embassy. Even if it is sent to the embassy, there will still be a queue waiting for the annual quota set by the Immigration Department. According to her knowledge, the processing speed at embassies in Europe and America is very fast, but it is generally slow in Asia, with a backlog of cases piling up.
Miss Li pointed out that a friend of hers submitted a sponsorship application for her parents during the Liberal Party's administration in 2004, and it was approved in three years. Unexpectedly, after the Conservative Party came to power, the waiting period extended to ten years. What is outrageous is that the current government has shifted the responsibility for the backlog to the previous administration, which she finds hard to accept. She believes that the main issue with the current immigration system is due to the Immigration Department significantly reducing resources at the embassies, rather than the fault of the previous administration or an increase in applicants.
When asked if she would apply for a 'Super Visa' for her parents, Miss Li stated that what she wants is for her parents' immigration visas to be approved quickly, not to create another category to sidestep the issue. She emphasized that unless they are immigrants, how many people would be willing to end everything in their home country and move to Canada for two years?
She also cited her parents' last visit as an example, where three months of private medical insurance exceeded CAD 4,000. If they enter with a 'Super Visa' and stay for two years, the insurance premium could reach as high as CAD 30,000. Therefore, she will not apply for this type of visa for her parents and will continue to allow them to travel back and forth between Canada and their home country as tourists during the waiting period.
