Super Visa

What is a Super Visa?

The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for an extended period without frequent renewals.

  • Stay in Canada for up to 5 years per visit
  • Option to extend stay by 2 more years
  • Valid for multiple entries over a longer period

This visa is ideal for families who want to stay connected without the hassle of repeated visa applications.

Key Benefits of Super Visa

  • Long-term stay without frequent renewals
  • Multiple entry visa for easy travel
  • Faster family reunification
  • Available throughout the year (no intake limits)

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible if you are:

  • A parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  • In good health and not inadmissible to Canada
  • Able to meet all visa requirements set by the visa office

Note:

  • Dependents cannot be included
  • Only parents/grandparents and their spouse/common-law partner can apply

Super Visa vs Visitor Visa & Application Details

The Super Visa offers a major advantage over a regular visitor visa (TRV) by allowing longer stays and reducing the need for frequent renewals.

  • Super Visa: Stay up to 5 years per visit
  • Visitor Visa (TRV): Usually allows stay up to 6 months

This makes the Super Visa a better option for parents and grandparents who want to spend extended time with their family in Canada.

Application Process & Requirements

The application process is similar to a regular visitor visa but includes additional requirements to ensure proper support during the stay.

Steps involved:

  • Submit the application from outside Canada
  • Provide all required documents
  • Complete a medical examination
  • Wait for visa processing and approval

Applications are processed through the Canadian visa office based on the applicant’s country of residence.
