As Canada continues to attract an increasing number of immigrants every year, the government has introduced several visa categories to facilitate this influx. One such visa category is the Super Visa. Read on to learn more about the super visa, the eligibility criteria, the requirements, and how to apply for it. 

What is a Super Visa?

A Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or parents’ permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to two years per visit without renewing their status every six months. This visa is valid for ten years, meaning the holder can travel to Canada as often as they wish during the visa’s validity period.

Who is eligible for a Super Visa?

To be eligible for a Super Visa, you must meet the following requirements:

  1. You must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  2. You must have a signed letter from your child or grandchild inviting you to Canada, promising financial support and accommodation during your stay in Canada.
  3. You must have a medical exam conducted by a designated panel physician.
  4. You must have proof of private medical insurance valid for at least one year from a Canadian insurance company that covers health care, hospitalization, and repatriation.
  5. You must provide evidence that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada, including the return journey.

What are the requirements for a Super Visa?

The requirements for a Super Visa are as follows:

  1. The parent or grandparent must be admissible to Canada.
  2. The child or grandchild must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and provide a letter of invitation promising financial support and accommodation for the parent or grandparent during their stay in Canada.
  3. The parent or grandparent must undergo a medical examination from a designated panel physician.
  4. The parent or grandparent must have private medical insurance valid for at least one year from a Canadian insurance company and must cover health care, hospitalization, and repatriation.
  5. The parent or grandparent must provide evidence that they have enough money to support themselves during their stay in Canada, including the return journey.
  6. The parent or grandparent must meet other eligibility criteria, such as having a clear criminal record and not posing a security or health risk to Canadians.

How to apply for a Super Visa?

To apply for a Super Visa, the following steps need to be taken:

  1. Obtain a letter of invitation from your child or grandchild, who must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, promising financial support and accommodation during your stay in Canada.
  2. Undergo a medical examination from a designated panel physician.
  3. Purchase private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that covers health care, hospitalization, and repatriation and is valid for at least one year.
  4. Complete the application form and submit all required documents, including the letter of invitation, proof of private medical insurance, and proof of funds to support yourself during your stay in Canada.
  5. Pay the application fee and wait for a decision on your application.

The Super Visa is an excellent option for parents and grandparents who wish to visit their children or grandchildren in Canada for extended periods without renewing their status every six months. However, the application process for the Super Visa can be complicated, and it is recommended to seek the assistance of a reputable immigration lawyer to ensure that all the requirements are met, and the application is submitted correctly. We can help you navigate the Super Visa application process and ensure you meet all the requirements for a successful application.
