Super VisaSuper 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:
- The inviting party must meet the minimum annual family income requirements (income depends on family composition)
- The obligatory participation in the medical insurance for visitors with super visa is for at least 1 year with the Canadian insurance company.
- You are not allowed to work or receive government medical coverage.
