SUPER VISA

HOW TO SPONSOR A SPOUSE, COMMON-LAW, OR CONJUGAL PARTNER TO CANADA?

SUPERVISA FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS 

A Super Visa is a great way to temporarily bring your Parents and Grandparents to Canada. It is a type of multiple-entry visa for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It allows them to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time without the need for renewal. To be eligible, applicants must meet certain requirements, including having a valid insurance policy and proof of financial support from their sponsor in Canada. The Super Visa is valid for up to 10 years and allows for multiple entries into Canada during that time.​
