SUPER VISA

reuniting with your family

Parent and Grandparent Super Visa

Super Visa allows the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to come to Canada for a period of up to two consecutive years at their initial visit without having to renew their status. The visa can remain valid for up to 10 years, allowing for re-entry during this period.
The Super Visa is ideal for parents and grandparents living in countries that require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for entry to Canada. By obtaining the super visa, they will be able to travel freely between Canada and their country of residence without the worry and hassle of regularly re-applying for a TRV.

The application process is similar to that for a regular TRV. However, additional documentation is required to ensure that the parents and grandparents will be well supported during their time in Canada. This requirement includes:

  • A letter of invitation from the child or grandchild residing in Canada; documents that prove the child or grandchild meets the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) minimum.

  • Proof of medical insurance coverage for at least one year with a Canadian insurance company.

  • Proof of parental relationship with a child or grandchild, such as a birth certificate that names him or her as a parent.

  • The application should be processed at the Canadian visa office responsible for the applicant’s place of residence outside of Canada. Depending on the visa office, additional documentation may be needed.
