How does a Canada Super Visa Works?

With a Canada super visa for parents and grandparents, they can visit family in Canada for up to 2 years with no need to renew their status. That is a great way to save time and to visit your children or grandchildren more often.  A super visa for parents is a multi-entry visa that allows multiple entries for up to a 10-year period. While most visitors can be in Canada for up to 6 months when they first enter. Those who want to stay longer must apply for an extension, and pay a new fee.

Key Evidence to support a Super Visa Application

A child or grandchild who invites a parent or grandparent to Canada must sign an invitation letter of financial support that includes the following information:

  • A promise of financial support for the length of visit

  • Family size in Canada, the list and number of people in the household of an invitee.
