Super Visa
A super visa is a type of visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for an extended period of time. Unlike a regular visitor visa, which allows visitors to stay for up to six months at a time, a super visa allows visitors to stay for up to five years at a time.
The super visa is designed to provide a way for families to reunite for longer periods of time and for parents and grandparents to spend more time with their children and grandchildren in Canada. To be eligible for a super visa, applicants must meet certain requirements, such as providing evidence of financial support and purchasing medical insurance coverage for the entire duration of their stay.
Applicants must also undergo a medical exam and meet certain admissibility requirements, such as being in good health and having no criminal record. In addition, they must provide a letter of invitation from their Canadian citizen or permanent resident child or grandchild, indicating that they will provide financial and other support during the visit.
Processing times for Super Visa applications can vary, but it typically takes around 8 – 12 weeks to process an application.
