Super visa allows you to invite your parents and grandparents in Canada. The maximum validity date for the multiple entries Super Visa is ten years, or one month prior to the applicant’s Passport’s expiry, whichever is earlier.

Within that time, Super Visa holders can remain in Canada for periods of up to 2-years. In comparison, a regular visitor visa is usually valid for a maximum period of 6-months.

Immigration officers consider several things before they decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a real visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of your visit. An officer will look at these things when you apply:

• your ties to your home country,
• the purpose of your visit,
• your family and finances
• the overall economic and political stability of your home country, and
• an invitation from a Canadian host.

You must also:

• prove that your child or grandchild in Canada meets a minimum income threshold,
• provide a written statement from that child or grandchild that he or she will give you financial support,
• have valid Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year and
• have an immigration medical exam.
