Super Visa Application

A super visa lets parents and grandparents visit their children or grandchildren for up to 5 years at a time. It’s a multi-entry visa that provides multiple entries for up to 10 years.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS

To be eligible for a super visa, you must:

• be the parents or grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents
• have a signed letter from your child or grandchild who invites you to Canada
• have valid medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company and
• meet other eligibility requirements.

Your dependents are not eligible for a super visa. They can still apply to visit Canada for up to 6 months with the right travel document.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Before you apply for a super visa, you need:

• a letter of invitation from your child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada
• proof that your child or grandchild’s household meets the minimum necessary income
• proof of payment for medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company
• a document confirming that you had an immigration medical exam

Other conditions:

• your ties to your home country
