What is a Super Visa?
The Super Visa is a special visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for up to five years at a time without the need to renew their status. It is a multiple-entry visa, typically valid for up to 10 years, giving you the flexibility to travel back and forth between Canada and your home country as needed.

​

Benefits of the Super Visa
The Super Visa offers several advantages for families:

• Extended Stay: Unlike a regular visitor visa, which usually allows a stay of up to six months, the Super Visa enables you to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit, providing more time with your family.

• Multiple Entries: The Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa, meaning you can enter and exit Canada as many times as you like within the visa’s validity period.

• Peace of Mind: With the Super Visa, you won’t need to worry about frequent renewals, giving you the security to plan extended visits.

​

Who is Eligible for a Super Visa?
To be eligible for a Super Visa, you must:

• Be a Parent or Grandparent: The Super Visa is specifically designed for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

• Obtain a Letter of Invitation: You will need a letter of invitation from your child or grandchild in Canada, which must include a promise of financial support for the duration of your stay, details about the number of people living in their household, and a copy of their Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document.

• Have Medical Insurance: You must have valid medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that covers you for at least one year, with a minimum coverage of $100,000.

• Undergo a Medical Exam: In some cases, you may be required to undergo a medical examination to ensure you are in good health.

• Prove Financial Support: Your child or grandchild must meet a minimum income threshold to prove that they can support you during your stay. This is typically demonstrated through proof of income, such as tax returns or pay stubs.
