If you're dreaming of having your parents or grandparents visit you in Canada for an extended period, the Super Visa could be the perfect solution. At Padda Immigration Services, we specialize in guiding our clients through the intricate process of securing a Super Visa, and ensuring a smooth and joyful family reunion. Let's explore who is eligible for this fantastic opportunity.

 

Understanding the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa

The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is a unique visa designed specifically for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Unlike a standard visitor visa that only allows a stay of up to six months, the Super Visa enables eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time without the need to renew their status. This multi-entry visa is valid for up to 10 years, allowing for extended family time and flexibility in travel.

Eligibility Criteria for Applicants

  • Relationship to Sponsor: The applicant must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. Unfortunately, other relatives are not eligible under this visa category.
  • Letter of Invitation: The Canadian resident must write a letter of invitation, which includes a promise of financial support for the duration of the visit, details about the number of people in the household, and a description of the accommodation provided.
  • Minimum Necessary Income: The child or grandchild in Canada must meet a minimum income threshold to prove they can support their visiting relatives. This requirement ensures that the visitors are well cared for during their stay.
  • Medical Insurance: Applicants must purchase Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year with a minimum coverage of $100,000. This insurance must be reviewed and validated at the time of the application to ensure it meets the standards required for the Super Visa.
  • Medical Examination: The parent or grandparent must undergo a medical examination by an approved doctor to ensure they are in good health before entering Canada.

Application Process and Documentation

The application process for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa involves several critical steps and detailed documentation. Applicants need to provide proof of their relationship to the Canadian sponsor, evidence of the sponsor's financial capability, and confirmation of medical insurance. Additionally, they must complete an immigration medical examination. At Padda Immigration Services, we assist our clients in gathering and submitting all necessary documents to ensure a complete and correct application, enhancing the chances of a successful outcome.
