Parents And Grandparents Super Visa

A Super Visa is a multiple entry guest visa, especially for the parents and grandparents of Canadian nationals and permanent residents. It enables holders to reside in Canada for up to 2 years without renewing their rank.

The super visa provides eligible parents and grandparents to wait temporarily in Canada. For permanent stay, they must be supported for permanent residence by their grandchild or Canadian kid.

Comparing Super Visa And Visitor Visa

Super visas are a variety of Canadian visitant visas only for parents and grandparents of Canadian residents or permanent nationals. The most significant variation between the super visa and a visitor visa is the period you can stay in Canada. 

Typically, a visitor visa can be adequate for a hold of 6 months. To continue living in Canada, you need to ask to extend your visa. With a super visa, you may be capable of staying in Canada for 2 years at a time without requiring to practice for an expansion.

To get eligible for this stream, you must follow these requirements for applying quickly.

  • Be the parent or grandparent of a resident or a permanent citizen of Canada.
  • Have an autographed letter from your child or grandchild who asks you to Canada that covers:

Application Process

You can demand a super visa online or by presenting a paper-based application. In either situation, you must verify that you are the parent or grandparent of a Canadian national. Your request needs to include an LOI from your child or grandchild that incorporates plans for your concern about the people living in their house in Canada. You will also be asked to explain that you have private fitness insurance from a Canadian insurance firm adequate for at least 1 year. Your child or grandchild will also be asked to describe that they have enough reserves to assist you during your visit.

Super Visa Extension

Super visas permit holders to reside in Canada for up to 2 years. If you want to wait in Canada for more than 2 years, you must prolong your stay. You should present your extension request within 30 days before your present status terminates. If your current visa ends while your extension request is still being processed, you may reside in Canada while expecting a decision to be executed. This is called implied status.

 Financial Support (proof of funds)

The child or grandchild who invites you must prove that their household meets the minimum necessary income. The following documents are examples of what can be used as proof of funds:

  • Notice of assessment (noa) or t4/t1 for the most recent tax year.
  • Employment insurance stubs.
  • Employment letter including salary and date of hire.
  • Pay stubs.
  • Bank statements.
