Immigration is one of the greatest steps towards globalization, which leads to the eroding of the virtual land boundaries between countries. People, especially, the young generation is getting benefits from available immigration programs in their both professional and personal life. However, when children or grandchildren immigrate to another country in search of a good job or higher studies or to fulfill the dream of a lavish lifestyle, the feeling of separation is hard to express for any parent or grandparent.

Moreover, in most of the countries when parents or grandparents do visit, they are eligible to stay with their family on foreign soil for a maximum duration of six months only. For many of them who have been living far away from their kith and kin, and miss the quality family time, this period is too short.

However, this is not the case of Canada as if you are a parent or grandparent of any Canadian resident or permanent resident, then you can stay with your family in Canada, for a maximum duration of two years at single visit through Canada super visa for parents, and grandparents.

A family tree is incomplete without parents and grandparents. They are the only ones who can offer unconditional love, care, and guidance to an individual throughout life. Keeping the importance of parents or grandparents in an individual’s life in mind, the Canadian government brought this super visa especially, for parents or grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
It is much more beneficent than visitor visa in terms of duration of stay as in super visa the maximum stay is for two years instead of six months. Moreover, a super visa is a multiple-entry visa so a holder can visit his/her family in Canada multiple times, for a period up to 10 years.

So, if you have a child or grandchild in Canada who has Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, then you can apply for Canada’s super visa. The following is the list of eligibility requirements for Canada parents and grandparents

• An applicant must be a parent or grandparent of a permanent resident of Canada or Canadian citizen
• He/she must have an invitation letter, signed from his/her child or grandchild which must include the enlisted information about the applicant
• Complete name
• Date of birth
• Address
• Contact number
• Relationship with the host
• Purpose or intent of the trip to Canada
• Duration or time period of stay in Canada
• Details on accommodation of the invitee in Canada and how he/she manages his/her finance purchases during the stay there
• Leaving date
• He/she must have medical insurance from a certified Canadian insurance company with a validity period of at least one year from date of entry and minimum coverage of $100,000

In addition to this, a child or grandchild needs to show proof of minimum necessary income to ensure that the host is economically stable to take responsibility of invited parent or grandparent after immigration. For that, he/she needs to the following documents including

• Notice of Assessment (NOA) or T4/T1 for the most recent tax year
• Employment Insurance stubs
• Bank statements
• Employment letter including salary and date of hiring
• Pay stubs

Below is the list of minimum income requirement for the host:

So, if you and your host (child or grandchild in Canada) fulfill all the requirements for Canada visa for parents or grandparents, then you can apply online for the same.

What if I want to stay in Canada permanently with my child or grandchild?

Canada super visa parents or grandparents allow temporary residence to its holders. It means after certain duration (maximum two years), he/she needs to leave Canada. For permanent residency, Canada family sponsorship is the right option. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada can sponsor his/her parent or grandparent for Canadian PR. However, the processing time of Canada family sponsorship visa is more than the super visa. The immigration authority of Canada takes an average processing time of 8 weeks for applications of super visa. It may vary when documentation or application form is not filled, or proofs of funds are not complete.
