Super Visa

Super Visa

Super visas refer to temporary residency visas. It allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years for just one visit. Like a regular multiple-entry visa, a super visa is also valid for up to 10 years. However, for multiple-entry visas, the maximum length of stay is 2 years per entry. The super visa is ideal for parents and grandparents living in countries that require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada.

Once they have obtained a super visa, they will be able to move freely between Canada and their country of residence without worrying or having to reapply for a TRV.

Three important things to keep in mind when applying for a super visa:
  1. The inviting party must meet the minimum annual family income requirements (income depends on family composition)
  2. The obligatory participation in the medical insurance for visitors with super visa is for at least 1 year with the Canadian insurance company.
  3. You are not allowed to work or receive government medical coverage.
