Super Visa
The Super Visa is for people who want their parents or grandparents to live with them in Canada. With the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, eligible parents and grandparents can visit family in Canada for up to two years without having to renew their status. The main difference between visit visa and Super Visa is that the Super Visa allows a person to stay up to two years each time they enter Canada, while the 10-year multiple entry Visit visa will only have a status period per entry of six month.
Who is Eligible for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa?
To be eligible for the super visa, applicants must be the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Dependents of parents and grandparents are not eligible for the super visa. However, they can apply for a regular visitor visa.

- the person’s ties to his or her home country.

- the overall economic and political stability of the home country; and
- invitations from Canadian hosts.
