What is the Super Visa of Canada?

The Super Visa of Canada is a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for parents and grandparents of Canadian residents. It allows them to stay in Canada for up to 2 years at a time. Standard Visitor Visas only allow you to stay for a length of 6 months at a time. The Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa with a validity of 10 years.

The Super Visa is available all year round. Also, it has a lower income requirement as compared to the Parents and Grandparents of Canada.

What is the eligibility for a Super Visa?

1. You must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or PR
2. You should also have a signed letter from the sponsoring child or grandchild which includes:
3. A promise to financially support you during your entire stay in Canada
4. Details of the number of people in your child or grandchild’s household in Canada
5. A copy of the PR card or Citizenship document of your child or grandchild
6. You should also have medical insurance from a Canadian Insurance Company. The insurance should:
7. Be valid for at least one year from the day you enter Canada
8. The minimum coverage should be at least $100,000
9. Proof of having paid the insurance premium
10. Your child or grandchild should meet the income threshold necessary for this Visa.

Eligible parents and grandparents are also required to take an immigration medical exam. Also, IRCC should be convinced that these parents and grandparents are genuine visitors. They should leave Canada by choice at the end of stay and should not stay back illegally.

As per CIC News, the IRCC processes Super Visas in a few weeks time. However, the processing times for this Visa may vary from one visa office to another.
