The Super Visa Program allows parents and grandparents of permanent residents of the country or Canadian citizens to come and visit their loved ones. They could stay for up to two years without renewing their Immigration visa status, including entering the country numerous times over a 10-year period. The visa is available all year round, and it is an excellent alternative to the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). Since there was a demand in the number of applications in the PGP program, the Super Visa offers a far better chance of parents and grandparents reuniting with their children or grandchildren.
This visa is ideal for those individuals from countries that require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to travel to the country, as they do not need to reapply for a visitor’s visa constantly.
To apply for Super Visa insurance, the applicants need to be residing outside Canada. Additionally, documents like a signed letter from their child or grandchild living in Canada, including valid medical insurance with a minimum amount of $100,000 from a Canadian insurance company, must be submitted along with a few more necessary documentation. It is very similar to the Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) process; however, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) ensure that the grandparents and parents will be well-taken care of during their stay in the country. The letter must also state that the child or grandchild will promise to take care of their parents or grandparents during their stay in the country. The permanent resident must provide a copy of their permanent residency status, which will also include the members in their household. As mentioned above, the medical insurance should be valid for at least one year from the date of arrival. The IRCC will not accept a quotation of the insurance amount paid; the applicant has to provide substantial proof to convince the authorities at the IRCC.
The immigration authorities reserve the right to determine if the Super Visa applicant will leave the country at the end of their stay. They will do a detailed background check to ensure that the applicant has ties to the country, including their home country’s political stability and finances.
In order for the applicant to be eligible for a Super Visa, they must:
Additionally, the Super Visa must be applied from outside the country by the parent or grandparent. They will be subject to undergo an immigration medical exam, including meeting certain conditions of the Canadian immigration authorities. Please note – Dependants cannot be included in the Super Visa insurance application.
