Super Visa for Canada
The Canadian Super Visa provides eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents with an option to visit their family in Canada for extended periods. It is designed for family members who want to spend more time with their children or grandchildren in Canada while maintaining their primary residence outside the country.
Applying for a Super Visa requires careful preparation and supporting documentation. Applicants and their Canadian hosts may need to meet specific requirements relating to family relationships, financial support, medical insurance, and other eligibility criteria. Our Super Visa services provide professional guidance to help families understand the process and prepare their applications properly.
What Is a Super Visa?
A Super Visa is a temporary resident visa designed specifically for eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Unlike a regular visitor application, the Super Visa has additional requirements intended to support longer family visits.
The Super Visa does not provide permanent resident status. It is a temporary immigration option that allows eligible parents and grandparents to visit their family in Canada under the conditions authorized by Canadian immigration authorities.
Who Can Apply for a Super Visa?
The Super Visa is generally intended for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents who meet the applicable requirements. The applicant must also satisfy the relevant temporary residence requirements.
We help families understand the eligibility criteria and identify the documents required based on their individual circumstances.

Family Relationship Requirements
The Super Visa is based on the relationship between the applicant and an eligible child or grandchild in Canada. Appropriate documents may be required to establish the family relationship.
Depending on the circumstances, supporting documents can include birth certificates, marriage certificates, legal documents, or other evidence demonstrating the relationship between the applicant and their Canadian family member.
Invitation and Support from Canada
The child or grandchild in Canada may need to provide an invitation letter and supporting information for the application. The invitation should provide relevant details about the visit and the relationship between the applicant and the host.
We can provide guidance on preparing the invitation and organizing the supporting documents required from the Canadian family member.
Financial Requirements
Financial eligibility is an important part of the Super Visa process. The Canadian host may need to demonstrate that they meet the applicable minimum income requirement and are able to provide the required financial undertaking.
Financial evidence may include employment documents, notices of assessment, income records, or other acceptable documentation. We help families understand the applicable requirements and organize relevant financial documents.
Medical Insurance Requirement
Super Visa applicants are generally required to obtain appropriate private medical insurance for their stay in Canada. The insurance must meet the applicable requirements set by Canadian immigration authorities.
We help applicants understand the insurance documentation requirements and ensure that the relevant proof is included with the application where required.
Medical Examination
Depending on the circumstances, applicants may be required to complete an immigration medical examination. Medical requirements can vary based on the applicant's situation and instructions received during the application process.
We provide general procedural guidance regarding medical examination requirements and help applicants understand the steps involved.
Required Documents
Super Visa documentation can vary depending on the applicant's circumstances. Common documents may include:
- Valid passport or travel document
- Proof of relationship with the child or grandchild in Canada

- Medical insurance documentation
