Super Visa for Parents and Grand-parents

The Super Visa is the preferred long-term stay solution for families wishing for extended reunions in Canada. Unlike a standard visitor visa which limits stays to 6 months, the Super Visa allows holders to stay for up to 5 years per entry. Furthermore, a total extension of up to 7 years is possible without leaving the country.

Eligibility Criteria and 2026 Income Requirements

To obtain this visa in 2026, our team assists you in validating the rigorous conditions set by IRCC:

  1. Family Connection: You must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  2. Medical Insurance: You must provide proof of coverage of at least $100,000 from a licensed Canadian provider for a minimum period of one year.
  3. Medical Exam: An immigration medical exam is mandatory with a government-designated physician.
  4. Financial Support (MNI): The host in Canada must demonstrate the following annual gross incomes (2026 examples):

        - 1 person:  $30,526 CAD

        - 2 persons: $38,002 CAD

        - 4 persons: $56,724 CAD

Why Choose the Super Visa?

The Super Visa is often a strategic alternative when Permanent Parent Sponsorship quotas are reached:

  1. Speed: The average processing time is approximately 112 days.
  2. Flexibility: It is a multiple-entry visa valid for a period of up to 10 years.
  3. No Lottery: Unlike the permanent program, access to the Super Visa does not depend on a random draw.

FAQ: Your Questions About the Super Visa

No. The Super Visa is an extended visitor visa. It does not authorize you to work or study in Canada. If your goal is to work, we can guide you toward a Work Permit.

Yes, IRCC requires proof that the Canadian health insurance policy is valid for at least one year and has been paid in full (or under an approved payment plan).

No. IRCC strictly requires that the medical insurance comes from a licensed Canadian company. It must be valid for at least one year from the date of entry. Our team can help you verify if your insurance policy meets the required standards.

Medical admissibility is crucial. If an issue is detected, the officer will evaluate if it represents an "excessive demand" on the Canadian healthcare system. However, since the Super Visa requires $100,000 in private insurance, some cases with stable pre-existing conditions can still be accepted.

Yes. If your child does not meet the income criteria alone, their spouse or common-law partner can act as a co-signer. Their combined gross income will then be taken into account to demonstrate the financial capacity to support you during your stay.
