Super Visa for Parents/Grandparents
A super visa is a multiple entry visitor visa specifically for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It allows holders to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time without needing to renew their status. The super visa allows eligible parents and grandparents to stay temporarily in Canada. To stay permanently, parents and grandparents must be sponsored for permanent residence by their Canadian child or grandchild.
How to Apply for a Super Visa
You can apply for a super visa online, or by submitting a paper-based application. In either case, you must prove that you are the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Your application needs to include a letter of invitation from your child or grandchild that includes plans for your care and information about the number of people living in their household in Canada. You will also be required to demonstrate that you have private health insurance from a Canadian insurance company valid for at least one year. Your child or grandchild will also be required to demonstrate that they have enough funds to support you during your visit by meeting the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) minimum for their family unit size.
Extension Of Stay
Super visas allow holders to remain in Canada for up to two years. If you want to stay in Canada for longer than two years, you must apply to extend your stay. You should submit your extension application no later than 30 days before your current status expires. If your current visa expires while your extension application is still being processed, you may remain in Canada while waiting for a decision to be made. This is called implied status.
If you want to extend your stay in Canada as a visitor (stay in Canada longer), you need to apply for a visitor record. A visitor record is not a visa.
A visitor record
- is a document that gives you status as a visitor in Canada and allows you to stay longer
- includes a new expiry date
ETA
Your valid Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) allows you to enter Canada. Know the expiry date and make sure to renew it two to three months before the expiration date. eTA is a requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals entering Canada by air.
Why Do You Need It?
Visa-exempt foreign nationals must have an eTA to enter Canada. If you are entering Canada for the first time and have already applied for a study permit the eTA is automatically included as part of your study permit application. However, if you have not applied for a study permit because your program of study is six months or less, you must apply for an eTA.
When Do You Need It?
You need it in advance of your travel date to Canada. We recommend applying for an eTA a month in advance of your travel date to Canada. eTAs can be approved within minutes of applying or may take longer. As a precaution, it is better to apply early.
