Because of the large backlogs of the parents/grandparents sponsorship program, Canadian government introduced the “Supervisa” so that family members could visit and stay for long duration.

The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa that provides multiple entries for a period up to 10 years. It allows an individual to stay for up to two years at a time in Canada without the need to renew their status, while a 10-year multiple entry visa would only have a status period for each entry of six months only.

To be eligible for a super visa, you must:

• be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada

• have a signed letter from your child or grandchild who invites you to Canada that includes:

  • a promise of financial support for the length of your visit

  • the list and number of people in the household of this person

  • a copy of this person’s Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document

• have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is:

  • valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry

  • at least $100,000 coverage

  • have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)

You must also:

• be admissible to enter Canada

• take an immigration medical exam

• meet certain other conditions

You can’t include dependants in this application.
