Super Visa for Parents
The Super Visa Program (http://www.canadavisa.com/parent-and-grandparent-super-visa.html) allows parents and grandparents to come to Canada as long-term visitors. Successful applicants receive multiple-entry visitor visas that may last for up to 10 years. Unlike standard visitor visas, which must be renewed every six months, a Super Visa remains valid for two years at a time.
To be eligible for the Super Visa program, parents and grandparents must meet standard visitor visa requirements. In addition, they must:
* Provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or `grandchild in Canada;
* Show that the sponsor in Canada meets minimum income requirements;
* Prove they have purchased Canadian health insurance for at least one year; and
* Complete an immigration medical examination.
Depending on the nationality, parents/grandparents may require a Temporary Resident Visa
