Super Visa for Parents & Grandparents
Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents have a new option for visiting Canada. As of December 1, 2011, you may be eligible to apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa – which is valid for up to 10 years and allows an applicant to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status.
How to apply?
To apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, you must:
1. Be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada;
2. Be found admissible to Canada and meet certain other conditions.
Note: You cannot include dependants in this application. Only your spouse or common-law partner is eligible to accompany you under this provision.
Visa officers consider several factors before deciding if a person is admissible. The person must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of the visit. Among the things that could be considered are:
1. The person’s ties to the home country;
2. The purpose of the visit;
3. The person’s family and financial situation;
4. The overall economic and political stability of the home country and an invitation from a Canadian host.
In addition to being found admissible to Canada, the parent or grandparent must also provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or grandchild in Canada who meets a MINIMUM INCOME THRESHOLD prove that they have bought Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year and complete an IMMIGRATION MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
