We construct a measure valued Markov process which we call infinite canonical super-Brownian motion, and which corresponds to the canonical measure of super-Brownian motion conditioned on non-extinction. Infinite canonical super-Brownian motion is a natural candidate for the scaling limit of various random branching objects on $$\mathbb{Z}^d$$ when these objects are critical, mean-field and infinite. We prove that ICSBM is the scaling limit of the spread-out oriented percolation incipient infinite cluster above 4 dimensions and of incipient infinite branching random walk in any dimension. We conjecture that it also arises as the scaling limit in various other models above the upper-critical dimension, such as the incipient infinite lattice tree above 8 dimensions, the incipient infinite cluster for unoriented percolation above 6 dimensions, uniform spanning trees above 4 dimensions, and invasion percolation above 6 dimensions.
