What is a Canada Super Visa?
The Canada Super Visa is a multiple-entry temporary resident visa specifically designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Unlike a standard visitor visa that allows stays of up to six months, the Super Visa permits eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit without needing to renew their status.
The Super Visa remains valid for up to 10 years, depending on passport validity, and allows multiple entries during this period. This makes it an ideal solution for families who want extended time together without committing to permanent immigration sponsorship.
Who Can Apply for a Super Visa?
Applicant Requirements (Parents/Grandparents)
You must be a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You need to prove you will leave Canada when your visa expires. You must pass a medical examination from an approved panel physician. You cannot have criminal inadmissibility issues. You must apply from outside Canada.

Key Benefits of the Super Visa
Extended Stay Duration
Parents and grandparents can remain in Canada for up to five years at a time, compared to just six months with a regular visitor visa. This extended period allows families to create meaningful memories together without worrying about frequent departures.
Multiple Entries
The Super Visa allows unlimited entries to Canada over a 10-year validity period. Your parents can travel freely between their home country and Canada, providing flexibility for their personal commitments while maintaining close family connections.
No Frequent Renewals
Unlike visitor visas that require renewal every six months, the Super Visa eliminates the hassle and expense of repeated applications. This saves time, reduces stress, and minimizes the risk of application refusals.
Mandatory Medical Insurance Requirements
All Super Visa applicants must have Canadian medical insurance that meets these requirements:
- Coverage Amount: Minimum $100,000 coverage for healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation.
- Coverage Period: Valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry.
- Insurance Provider: Must be from a Canadian insurance company or a company authorized by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).
- Payment: Insurance must be purchased and paid in full before applying.
- Entry Requirement: You must show proof of valid insurance to the border officer when entering Canada.
