Canada Super Visa: Extended Visits for Parents and Grandparents

Are you a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who wants your parents or grandparents to visit you for an extended period? The Canada Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time.   

What is a Super Visa?

The Super Visa is a temporary resident visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. It is a multiple-entry visa, which means that your parents or grandparents can make multiple trips to Canada within the validity of the visa.   

To be eligible for a Super Visa, your parents or grandparents must:

  • Be citizens of a country that does not require a visa to visit Canada.
  • Have a valid passport.
  • Meet the medical requirements.
  • Have no criminal record.
  • Have a letter of invitation from you, the Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  • Have proof of financial support from you.
  • Have medical insurance that meets the Canadian government’s requirements.

You can apply for a Super Visa online or by mail. The process typically involves:

  1. Gather Required Documents: Prepare all necessary documents, including your parents’ or grandparents’ passports, medical insurance, and proof of financial support.
  2. Submit Your Application: Submit your application online or by mail, along with the applicable fees.
  3. Biometrics: Your parents or grandparents may be required to provide their biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) at a Visa Application Centre.
