A Super Visa is designed specifically for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Unlike a standard visitor visa, which generally allows a stay of up to six months, the Super Visa permits eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit. One of the main benefits of the Super Visa is its long-term validity of up to 10 years, allowing multiple entries into Canada. This visa is perfect for families who want their parents or grandparents to stay for extended periods without needing frequent renewals.
1. Confirm Your Eligibility: Ensure you are the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Additionally, verify that you meet the general visitor visa requirements and are admissible to Canada.
2. Complete the Application Form: Accurately fill out the online form, providing all necessary information about your background, ties to your home country, purpose of visit, and family details.
3. Medical Examination: Undergo a medical exam conducted by an approved panel physician to confirm you meet the health requirements for entry into Canada.
4. Provide Proof of Relationship: Submit documents such as birth certificates or other official records to establish your relationship with your child or grandchild in Canada.
5. Obtain a Letter of Invitation: Your Canadian host must write a letter of invitation, detailing the purpose and duration of your visit, along with a commitment to financially support you during your stay.
6. Financial Support Evidence: Your child or grandchild in Canada must demonstrate they meet the minimum income threshold by providing documents like tax returns, notices of assessment, and proof of income.
7. Secure Health Insurance: Purchase private health insurance from a Canadian company, valid for at least one year from your entry date, with a minimum coverage of $100,000 for health care, hospitalization, and repatriation.
8. Pay the Application Fee: Pay the non-refundable processing fee for the Super Visa online using a credit card.
9. Submit Your Application: Once you have completed the application and uploaded all required documents, submit it through the IRCC Portal. If online submission is not possible, you may be able to submit a paper application.
