SUPER VISA

Supervisors are set up for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Although the current immigration of parents and grandparents is in a state of stagnation, the super-visa can be issued basically, and it is effective for many times. It can stay for two years for each entry, basically solving the problem of Canadian citizens, permanent residents and parents living in two places.

In addition to the basic requirements for a tourist visa, a super visa also requires:

• Prove that your child or grandchildren meet the minimum income threshold;
• Provide written proof from children or grandchildren that they will financially support you;
• Purchase medical insurance with a maximum insured amount of $100,000 for at least one year;
• Pre-examination.

List of documents required:

• Application for Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) Made Outside of Canada (IMM 5257). An application form is required for each applicant and each accompanying child. Children who are 18 years of age or older must complete and sign their respective application forms.
• Applicants and each accompanying family member who is at least 18 years of age and older complete the Family Information Form (IMM 5707).
• The applicant and each accompanying family member who is at least 18 years of age and older complete the education and employment details form.
• If you have an agent, you should fill out the agent information form (IMM 5476), please refer to the information about the agent.
• Two photos that match the photo requirements. Name and date of birth are indicated after each photo.
• A valid passport. The passport must contain at least one full page of blank pages except the last page and must be valid for at least six months prior to the trip.

Full proof of personal health insurance from Canadian insurance companies valid for at least one year from the date of entry:

• Covers the applicant’s medical expenses, hospitalization expenses and medical transshipment costs;
• Provide at least $100,000 in insurance;
• Every entry to Canada is valid and available for review when the assessment officer needs it.
• Proof of medical examination has been carried out.

The inviter needs to provide:

• An invitation letter indicating the purpose of the visit and the duration of the visit.
• Invite people in the residence to have a detailed list.
• A copy of the inviter’s citizenship or immigration status document (eg permanent resident card – please copy both sides).
• The inviting person’s ability to provide proof of the financial support promised must be an independent third-party document from Canada that is reliable and easily verifiable. For example, but not limited to: a tax return (NOA) issued by the Canadian Taxation Administration, a employment certificate showing the income status, a payroll, a bank statement, a payroll statement or a financial statement issued by a practicing professional.

Entry and exit times and validity period

A multiple-entry visa is usually issued, and the visa is valid until the expiration of the passport, up to a maximum of 10 years.
You can usually stay for 2 years for each entry, but you need to show valid insurance and let the border officials specifically indicate the two-year stay. If not specified, it is generally considered to be a half-year stay.
If the two-year or half-year period is not enough, you can apply for an extension. As long as you meet the conditions of the super-visa, the extension will usually give another one-year stay.
