Super Visa | Apply for your Parents and Grandparents | Canada

What is a Super Visa?

A super visa allows your parent and grandparent to spend up to 5 years at a time. It’s a visa that allows for several entries for up to ten years. The length of your stay will be confirmed by a border services officer when you enter Canada.

The legal parents and grandparents of a PR Cardholder or a Canadian Citizen can apply for a super visa as of December 11, 2011. This strand of visas was created to combat the lengthy process of the sponsorship processing times for permanent residency. With this strand, we can help families reunite with each other as soon as possible. The super visa for parents & grandparents has a few more perks as compared to the regular visitor visa. The super visa is valid for a total of 10 years and has a minimum stay limit in Canada of 2 years per trip. With this, you do not need to revalidate your status every 6 months and can re-enter as many times as necessary. 

Who can apply for Super Visa?

Be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada

Possess a letter inviting you to visit Canada, signed by your child or grandchild

Have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company

Apply for a super visa from outside Canada

Have your visa printed outside Canada

Take an immigration medical exam
