SUPERVISA FOR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS

The Super Visa Program was introduced to allow parents/ grandparents to visit their children/grandchildren who are either Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This visa allows them to stay for up to 5 years per visit. The validity of this visa is normally the same as the validity of the passport.

Eligibility:

●  Letter of invitation from your child/grandchild who is either a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident of Canada;

●  Child/Grandchild to show financial capability to support you while you are in Canada;

●  Have Canadian private medical insurance coverage;

●  Establish that you are not inadmissible to Canada on medical or criminal grounds.

If you want your parents to live with you in Canada, you may want to apply for a Super visa instead of applying for Permanent Residence.
