Super Visa
Super Visa for Canada: A Gateway for Parents and Grandparents
The Super Visa is a special long-term visa introduced by the Canadian government, allowing parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. Unlike a regular visitor visa, the Super Visa is valid for up to 10 years and allows the holder to stay in Canada for up to 5 consecutive years at a time without the need for renewal.
At Focus Academy & Visa Consultancy, we specialize in helping families reunite through Canada’s Super Visa program. With our vast experience and personalized guidance, we make the process straightforward and efficient for you and your loved ones.
What is the Super Visa?
The Super Visa is designed specifically for parents and grandparents who wish to visit their children or grandchildren in Canada. It’s an excellent option for families looking to spend extended periods together, without the need for frequent renewals, making it a convenient and flexible solution.
Unlike a traditional visitor visa, which typically allows stays of up to six months, the Super Visa provides an extended stay of up to five years at a time with multiple entries into Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for the Super Visa
While the Super Visa offers significant benefits, applicants must meet certain requirements to be eligible. Here are the key eligibility criteria:
1. Relationship with a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident: The applicant must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
2. Invitation Letter from the Sponsor: A letter of invitation from the child or grandchild living in Canada is required. This letter should include:
- A promise of financial support throughout the applicant’s stay.
- Details of the applicant’s visit.
- A copy of the sponsor's proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency.
3. Proof of Income from the Sponsor: The Canadian sponsor must meet a minimum income threshold to show they can financially support their parents or grandparents. This is known as the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO), and documentation such as a Notice of Assessment (NOA), T4/T1 slips, or an employment letter will be needed.
4. Medical Insurance: The applicant must obtain Canadian medical insurance covering at least $100,000 CAD for one year. This insurance should cover healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation.
5. Medical Examination: The applicant may be required to undergo a medical exam to ensure they meet Canada’s health standards for entry.
At Focus Academy & Visa Consultancy, we help you navigate these requirements, ensuring that your application is thorough, accurate, and well-prepared for submission.
Important Documents for the Super Visa Application
A successful Super Visa application relies on providing the correct documentation. Here are the key documents required:
1. Valid Passport: A passport with a minimum validity of 12 months beyond your intended stay in Canada.
2. Letter of Invitation: A formal letter from your Canadian child or grandchild, outlining their commitment to supporting you during your stay.
3. Proof of Sponsor’s Financial Status: Documents showing that your child or grandchild meets the income requirements to support your visit. These could include:
- Recent tax returns (NOA)
- Employment letters
- Pay stubs
4. Medical Insurance Policy: Proof of valid Canadian health insurance coverage for at least one year, with a minimum coverage of $100,000 CAD.
5. Medical Examination Results: If required, a medical examination to demonstrate that the applicant is in good health.
6. Completed Visa Application Form: The completed application form along with passport-sized photos and any additional forms required by Canadian immigration authorities.
At Focus Academy & Visa Consultancy , we ensure that all required documents are in order and compliant with the latest immigration policies, minimizing the risk of delays or rejections.
