PARENTS &

GRANDPARENTS

SUPER VISA

The visa can remain valid for up to 10 years, allowing for re-entry during this period of time. The Super Visa presents older generations of a family to visit loved ones in Canada for an extended period without work rights. A super visa lets applicants visit their children or grandchildren for up to 2 years at a time and is an excellent way for families to re-unite with their parents.
 

The Super Visa is ideal for parents and grandparents living in countries that require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for entry to Canada. By obtaining the super visa, they will be able to travel freely between Canada and their country of residence without the worry and hassle of regularly re-applying for a TRV.
