The Super Visa for Canada is a special visa option for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It allows them to visit their family in Canada for extended periods, up to two years per visit, without renewing their status frequently.
Key Points of the Super Visa:
Eligibility: Applicants must meet specific criteria, including providing a letter of invitation from their child or grandchild in Canada, demonstrating that the host meets minimum income requirements, and obtaining private Canadian health insurance coverage.
Validity and Stay: The Super Visa is typically valid for up to 10 years and allows multiple entries during this period. Parents and grandparents can stay in Canada for up to two years per visit without needing to renew their status every six months.
Application Process: Applicants must submit their applications to a visa office outside of Canada. Processing times vary, but applicants are generally required to undergo medical examinations and provide biometrics as part of the process.
Benefits: The Super Visa facilitates family reunification by providing longer and more flexible stays for parents and grandparents visiting Canada, while also alleviating the need for frequent visa renewals.
