Super Visa (for Parents & Grandparents)
The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit for extended stays—up to 5 years per entry, with multiple re-entries for up to 10 years.
This visa is ideal for families who want long-term visits without the need to renew status every six months.
How It Works
Meet eligibility – The child or grandchild in Canada must meet a minimum income threshold (LICO) for the past year and provide an invitation letter. Applicants must show proof of a valid Canadian medical insurance policy (at least one year coverage, $100,000 minimum).
Apply online – Submit the application with biometrics, insurance proof, medical exam results, and financial documents from the sponsor.
Travel & stay long-term – Approved parents/grandparents can stay up to 5 years at a time, extendable while inside Canada.
