Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents: Enjoy Longer Family Visits in Canada

If you're hoping to have your parents or grandparents spend more time with you in Canada, the super visa is an excellent option for parents and grandparents. Unlike a standard visitor visa, which generally allows stays of up to six months, the super visa permits eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to remain in Canada for up to five years per visit, with multiple entries valid for up to 10 years.

This long-term visa makes family reunions easier by reducing the need for frequent visa applications. With processing times that are typically completed within a few months, it offers a convenient and efficient way for families to enjoy extended visits together.

Who Is Eligible?

To apply for a super visa, parents and grandparents must meet several requirements, including (but not limited to):

• Be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

• Complete a medical examination with a physician approved by the Canadian government.

• Purchase valid medical insurance from a Canadian insurance provider with a minimum coverage of $100,000 for at least one year.

• Pay the insurance premium in full or through approved monthly payment plans (insurance quotes alone are not accepted).

• Provide a letter of financial support from their child or grandchild, who must also satisfy the required income criteria.
