The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. This visa permits stays of up to two years at a time without the need to renew status and may be issued as a multiple-entry visa valid for up to 10 years, making it ideal for frequent family visits.

At Anwar Immigration Law Office, we assist families in preparing strong Super Visa applications. To qualify, applicants must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, meet admissibility requirements, and provide proof of private Canadian medical insurance for at least one year. In addition, the sponsoring child or grandchild must provide a written commitment of financial support and meet minimum income requirements, and the applicant must complete a medical examination.

Visa officers will also assess whether the applicant is a genuine temporary visitor who intends to return home after their stay. Factors such as ties to the home country, purpose of the visit, financial situation, and an invitation from a Canadian host are carefully reviewed. It is important to note that the Super Visa is a temporary option; those seeking permanent residence for parents or grandparents must apply through the parental sponsorship program.
