Super Visa

The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is an excellent option for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who wish to bring their parents or grandparents to Canada for extended visits. Unlike a regular visitor visa, the Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to five years at a time without the need to renew their status. At Mesidor Canadian Immigration Services, we are here to guide you through the process of sponsoring your loved ones, ensuring that your application is smooth and successful.

What is a Super Visa?

The Super Visa is a long-term, multiple-entry visa specifically designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It allows them to visit Canada for up to five years per entry, with the possibility of extending their stay by applying for additional time while in Canada. The Super Visa is valid for up to 10 years, making it a highly flexible option for families wishing to spend more time together.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a Super Visa, both the sponsor and the parents or grandparents must meet specific criteria:

• Minimum Necessary Income (MNI): You must meet the minimum income threshold to support your parents or grandparents during their stay.
• Financial Support: You must provide a written promise of financial support for the duration of their visit.
• Medical Insurance: You must purchase private medical insurance for your parents or grandparents from a Canadian insurance company. The coverage must be for at least one year and provide a minimum of $100,000 in coverage.
