Super Visa: Reunite with Your Parents and Grandparents for Years, Not Months
Bring your loved ones to Canada for up to 5 years at a time—without the hassle of constant renewals.
For many Canadian citizens and permanent residents, a short visit from parents isn't enough. The Super Visa is a powerful multi-entry visa designed specifically for parents and grandparents, allowing them to stay in Canada for extended periods. Unlike a standard visitor visa that limits stays to 6 months, the Super Visa lets your family put down roots and truly be part of your daily life in Canada.
Why Professional Guidance Matters
The Super Visa has strict financial and medical requirements that a standard visitor visa does not. The most common reason for refusal is a failure to meet the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO)—a specific income threshold that changes annually based on family size and inflation.
Additionally, recent changes regarding medical insurance requirements can be confusing. We ensure your application proves you meet the specific income threshold for the 2025/2026 tax year and that your purchased insurance policy meets IRCC's precise coverage standards, preventing costly delays or rejections.
Don't Waste Money on Doomed Applications
We ensure you don't spend money on insurance for an application that is destined to fail. Let us verify your eligibility before you invest.
What is the Super Visa?
The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa valid for up to 10 years. Its key advantage is the duration of stay.
Regular Visitor Visa
- Maximum 6-month stays
- Frequent extension applications
- No special insurance requirement
Super Visa
- Up to 5 years per visit
- Valid for 10 years (multiple entries)
- Stability & peace of mind
Key Benefit: While a regular visitor visa usually requires your parents to leave Canada after 6 months, the Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years per visit. This provides stability and peace of mind, knowing they don't have to constantly apply for visitor record extensions.
Who This Service Is For
This program is exclusively for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It is ideal if:
Long-Term Family Support
You want your parents here to help with grandchildren or simply to be close for years at a time.
Meet Income Threshold
You (the child or grandchild) earn enough income to support them financially per LICO requirements.
Good Health Status
Your parents are generally in good health and can pass an immigration medical exam.
Avoid Sponsorship Wait Times
You're waiting for the "Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship" lottery and want them here now while you wait.
How The Process Works
We handle the technical details to ensure a smooth approval:
LICO Assessment
We calculate your "family size" (your household + the visiting parents) and verify your Notice of Assessment (NOA) meets the current minimum income requirement for 2025/2026.
Insurance Review
We guide you on purchasing valid private medical insurance (minimum $100,000 coverage) from a compliant Canadian or international provider that meets 2025 IRCC standards.
Letter of Invitation
We draft a professional letter of invitation that outlines your promise of financial support and the purpose of the visit, meeting IRCC's specific requirements.
Application Submission
We submit the application through the IRCC portal, ensuring all "ties to home country" are still documented to satisfy the visa officer's dual-intent concerns.
Medical Exam
Your parents will be instructed to undergo a medical exam by an IRCC-approved panel physician. We provide guidance on what to expect and how to prepare.
Passport Request & Approval
Once approved, we guide you through submitting their passports for the visa counterfoil. Your parents can then travel to Canada and stay for up to 5 years!
How We Help You
We ensure you don't spend money on insurance for an application that is destined to fail.
Income Calculation Strategy
If you are slightly short on income, we assess if your spouse can co-sign to meet the LICO threshold, maximizing your chances of approval.
Medical Inadmissibility Checks
We screen for potential health issues that might flag a refusal (e.g., excessive demand on health services) before you apply.
Insurance Compliance
We ensure your insurance policy meets the specific 2025 rules regarding "emergency" coverage and repatriation to avoid technical refusals.
Extension Management
If your parents are already here on a regular visa, we can help them apply for a Super Visa from within Canada (visitor record extension with Super Visa status) in specific circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
You must meet the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO). This number increases every year. For example, if you are a family of 3 in Canada and inviting 2 parents, you must meet the income requirement for a family of 5.
We will verify your specific target based on the latest 2025/2026 tables and ensure your Notice of Assessment (NOA) demonstrates sufficient income. If you're slightly short, we can explore co-signing options with your spouse.
Recent rules have relaxed this slightly. While you need proof of insurance for one year, many insurers now offer monthly payment plans that IRCC accepts, provided the policy guarantees 1 year of coverage.
We can refer you to providers who offer these flexible terms, ensuring your policy meets the minimum $100,000 coverage requirement and includes emergency medical care and repatriation coverage as mandated by 2025 IRCC standards.
No. The Super Visa is strictly for parents and grandparents. Dependent children (your siblings) cannot be included in this application; they would need to apply for regular visitor visas separately.
The Super Visa program was specifically designed to facilitate extended family visits for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents only.
No. The Super Visa is a temporary resident visa. It does not grant permanent status or access to provincial health coverage (OHIP, MSP, etc.). Your parents must rely on private insurance for healthcare during their stay.
If you want your parents to become permanent residents, you would need to apply through the Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program (PGP), which is a separate lottery-based program. Many families use the Super Visa to keep their parents in Canada while waiting for PGP sponsorship processing.
