Check Your EligibilityWhat is a Super Visa?
Canada understands that the family unit is the pillar of the economy, and that when immigrants are in Canada with their families, they have more stability, which in turn enhances their contributions to the economy and society. That is why family reunification is one of the main goals of Canadian immigration.
If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and would like your parents or grandparents to visit you in Canada for an extended period, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is an excellent option. This visa allows parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to 5 consecutive years without needing to renew their status.
Even better, once issued, the Super Visa is valid for up to 10 years, which means your parents and grandparents can come to Canada at any time during this period. We understand that navigating the sponsorship process can be daunting, which is why we put our expertise and extensive experience at your disposal to help you through the process.
