The Super Visa Program allows parents and grandparents of Canadian residents to come to Canada as long-term visitors. Successful applic ants receive multiple-entry visitor visas that may last for up to 10 years. Unlike standard visitor visas, which must be renewed every s ix months, a Super Visa remains valid for two years at a time.

To be eligible for the Super Visa program, parents and grandparents must meet standard visitor visa requirements. In addition, they must:

Provide A Written Commitment Of Financial Support From Their Child Or Grandchild In Canada;

Show That The Sponsor In Canada Meets Minimum Income Requirements;

Prove They Have Purchased Canadian Health Insurance For At Least One Year; And

Complete An Immigration Medical Examination.

Depending on the nationality, parents/grandparents may require a Temporary Resident Visa in addition to the Super Visa.
