The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa for Canada allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods.
Super visas typically grant entry to Canada for up to two years, with the ability to apply for extensions of one year at a time.
It is for Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who want to visit Canada for lengthy periods.
In order to be eligible, children or grandchildren must provide a letter of invitation and meet minimum income requirements. Parents and grandparents then submit this letter along with proof they have obtained Canadian medical insurance. Super Visa insurance also has to meet minimum requirements and must cover at least one year from the date of entry to Canada.
All applicants are required to purchase their own private medical insurance before landing in Canada.
Since first being introduced in 2011, the Super Visa has allowed many thousands of international parents and grandparents to come to Canada for extended periods, benefiting families and communities across the country, not just socially, but economically too.
It should be noted that Super Visa holders are not allowed to work in Canada. There is a permanent residence program for parents and grandparents; however, there is a limited supply of visas under this program, and applications can take a long time to be processed.
