The Super Visa is a long-term, multiple-entry visa that allows eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended stays, often up to five years at a time, depending on current policies.
Unlike a standard visitor visa, the Super Visa focuses on financial support and medical insurance to ensure visitors are well-covered during their time in Canada.
Super Visa highlights
- Longer authorized stays compared to a regular visitor visa.
- Proof of income and support from a child or grandchild in Canada.
- Mandatory medical insurance from a Canadian provider meeting IRCC requirements.
