If you're planning to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada, you might wonder whether to opt for a Visitor Visa or a Super Visa. Here's how they differ:
Visitor's Insurance
- Allows eligible visitors to stay in Canada for up to 6 months.
- Extensions require a new application and fee every six months.
- Visitor's Insurance covers health or medical emergencies during the 6-month visit.
- Family rates may apply for three or more applicants (parents/guardians and dependent children under 21, or up to 25 if a full-time student, or with disabilities).
- Pre-existing medical conditions may be covered after a medical questionnaire.
- Suitable for students, new immigrants, and foreign workers as well.
Super Visa Insurance
- Designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
- Lets eligible family members visit for up to two years at a time, with a visa valid for up to 10 years.
- Fewer fees, longer stays, and faster processing (visas often issued within eight weeks).
- Medical insurance must be purchased for at least one year, covering the full period of stay.
- Covers medical expenses incurred during the visit, providing comprehensive protection.
Discover why Super Visa Insurance is the preferred choice for families planning long-term visits to Canada. Designed specifically for parents and grandparents, Super Visa Insurance offers extended coverage, higher medical limits, and greater peace of mind compared to standard Visitor's Insurance-making it the smarter, more secure option for staying together longer.
