Reuniting your family with Super Visa |
What is the Super Visa?
Canada’s Super Visa is often referred to as the ‘Parent or
Grandparent Program of Canada’.
What does
the Super Visa do?
A Super Visa allows parents or grandparents to visit their child or grandchild in Canada for up to 2 years at a time. Being a multi-entry visa, it provides multiple entries for up to 10 years.
How is it
any different from Visitor Visa?
Most Visitors in Canada are allowed to stay for a time period
of 6 months.
If any Immigrant chooses to extend their stay they must file for an extension at least 30 days prior to their Visa expiration.
What has
been updated in the newer Super Visa?
Earlier visitors migrating to Canada had the validity of
staying in Canada for 2 years. Current Super Visa holders have the option to extend
their Visas by 5 years which results in Visa Holders being able to stay in
Canada for 7 consecutive years.
The new Super Visa applicants will now be allotted a time
period of 5 consecutive years in Canada before renewing their Visa status. This
feature of the updated Super Visa will be commenced by the Canadian Government
from 4th July 2022.
What are
the updates other than Super Visa?
Individuals migrating to Canada through the Super Visa are
required to have Medical Insurance.
Earlier only Canadian Insurance Providers were allowed to
provide medical insurance to Super Visa holders.
The latest update said that Canada Immigration Minister
Sean Fraser will have the authority to designate International Medical
Insurance Companies to provide Medical Insurance to Super Visa holders.
The globalization of medical insurance for Super Visa holders
has been done in order for the cost of emergency healthcare to not be paid by
Canadian Taxpayers.
The IRCC stated that Canada issues approximately 17,000 Super
Visas per year under the name of the Parents and Grandparents Program. IRCC
declared it will be sharing further details regarding this update in the coming
days/weeks.
