IRCC has just announced major reforms to the Parents and Grandparents Super Visa.
Effective July 4, 2022:
From July 4, the length of stay for Super Visa holders will be increased to five years, with the option to request an additional two years while in Canada.
Furthermore, Ottawa will also allow international medical insurance companies to provide coverage to Super Visa candidates. Under current rules, only Canadian companies can provide the coverage, required so that Super Visa holders can receive emergency health care without any cost to Canadian taxpayers.
“The enhancements to the super visa program allow family members to reunite for longer in Canada, which helps everyday Canadian citizens and permanent residents succeed and contribute to society while affording their parents and grandparents invaluable opportunities to spend time with their family,” said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.
Canada’s multiple-entry Super Visa, first made available in 2011, is valid for 10 years and previously allowed candidates to stay for up to two years per visit. Under a regular multiple-entry visit visa, that period is usually six months or less.
The child or grandchild of the candidate in Canada must meet minimum income requirements to support the visa holder.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) say it issues about 17,000 Super Visas per year.
The visa is an important alternative to the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), which is a pathway to permanent residence.
The PGP is regularly massively oversubscribed and operates using a lottery process, leaving many wondering if they will ever have the option of bringing their family members to Canada.
