Disclaimer: This article is only intended for educational purposes and shouldn’t be used as a substitute for legal advice.

Grandparents and parents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents can stay in Canada for an extended period under the country’s Super Visa program. This visa program is ideal for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who desire to keep their parents and grandparents in Canada for a lengthy period. For up to ten years, the Super Visa permits numerous trips to the country. By using a Super Visa, you can also stay in Canada one year longer than you had originally planned.

Who Is Eligible for a “Super Visa”?

A candidate must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or resident to be eligible for a super visa. A super visa allows you to stay in Canada for much longer than a visiting visa does. A visitor’s visa is typically valid for six months. Visa extensions are required to extend your stay in Canada for a long time. Super visa holders are not subject to any time limits when it comes to their stay in Canada.

How to Apply for a Super Visa?

Obtaining a super visa is easy in Canada. Applicants must meet a few conditions before they can be considered.

1. Firstly, you must have received a Canadian host’s invitation before you may participate (i.e. your child or grandchild).
2. Because they are in charge of your financial well-being while you are in Canada, your host needs to be financially secure.
3. You must pass a medical exam.
4. A full year of Canadian medical insurance is required prior to applying. Applicants for a Super Visa must show proof of private health insurance coverage in order to be considered.
