Canada offers the Super Visa program known as the Family Sponsorship Immigration Program, designed for permanent residents or Canadian Citizens who want to bring their or spouse parents, or grandparents to the country. This program includes the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).

What is a Super Visa?

The Canadian ‘Super Visa’ is also known as Canada’s parent and grandparent Super Visa. This Super Visa makes it possible for the parents and grandparents of Canadian permanent residents and citizens to come to meet and stay with them in Canada for up to 5 years straight at a time. Super Visa makes multi-entry into Canada possible for up to 10 years.

All the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents who want to visit Canada for six months or less duration must go for a Canada Visitor Visa instead of Super Visa.

The application processing fee as per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] is CAD 100 +, whereas the processing time varies from country to country. There might be a need for biometrics. 

What is Super Visa Insurance?

Nobody ever wants to get injured or sick while traveling, but many times it happens with a lot of people, isn’t it? You must know that the Canadian government will not be able to take care of your medical expenses if you fall sick while in Canada. The universal healthcare system of Canada does not cover foreigners. Hence it becomes very important to have travel medical insurance; otherwise, you will have to end up paying your medical expenses by yourself or your family members would be made responsible.

So, to understand in simpler terms, Super Visa Insurance is a travel medical insurance for the long term specifically designed for the applicants of Super Visa. In fact, having Super Visa Insurance is one of the essential conditions before having a Super Visa. Super Visa Insurance guarantees to cover their medical costs if the visitors fall sick or get injured.

All those people with a super visa must get travel medical insurance that:

• Is issued by an insurance provider from Canada
• gives a minimum of $100,000 CAD in coverage
• one year of minimum validity from the first day in Canada
• has been paid in full.

In an effort to promote family reunification, Canada aims to welcome permanent residents through the Family Sponsorship Immigration Program, encompassing spouses, partners, children, and parents and grandparents (PGP). The program has already accepted over 13,000 newcomers, with projections indicating a significant increase by the end of 2023.

Super Visa Program 2023 – Be with Your Loved Ones

The latest Immigration Levels Plan for 2023-2025 indicates that the country is aiming to welcome over 28,000 parents and grandparents in each of the next three years.

The exact targets for parents and grandparents under family immigration are as follows:

• 2023: 28,500
• 2024: 34,000
• 2025: 36,000

The Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) offers an opportunity for eligible parents and grandparents to apply for a super visa, granting them a stay of up to 5 years in Canada. Furthermore, individuals on a super visa can request extensions for up to 5 more years while remaining in the country.

Ordinarily, visitors to Canada can stay for up to six months upon arrival, necessitating an extension and additional fees for more extended stays. However, the parent and grandparent super visa enables eligible individuals to stay in Canada for extended periods of up to 5 Years without leaving the country; they don’t need to get an extension but after 5 Years with Extra 2 Years with Extension, unlike a regular visitor visa.

Additionally, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has made strides in reducing processing times for applications already in progress. As of now, processing times for the PGP have been reduced by 14 months, streamlining the overall application process.
