The Super Visa is a special type of temporary visa designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This visa allows them to visit and stay in Canada for extended periods, offering a stay of up to five consecutive years per visit without the need to renew their status during this time. Additionally, the Super Visa is a multi-entry visa, granting the flexibility to enter and exit Canada multiple times over a validity period of up to 10 years. This program provides a convenient and reliable way for families to reunite while ensuring extended visits with their loved ones in Canada.

Since 2022, the Super Visa program has been enhanced to allow visa holders to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit. This extended stay duration provides greater flexibility and convenience for parents and grandparents who wish to spend more time with their families in Canada. Additionally, visa holders have the option to further extend their stay by an additional two years at a time without needing to leave the country, making it an ideal solution for long-term visits and strengthening family bonds. This change underscores Canada's commitment to reuniting families while ensuring a smooth and accommodating process for visitors.

The application fee for a Super Visa is $100 per person, which covers the cost of processing the visa application. In addition to this, applicants are required to pay a biometrics fee of $85. This fee is used to cover the collection of fingerprints and a photograph, which are mandatory for identity verification and security screening. These combined fees ensure that the application process is thorough and efficient, providing applicants with a streamlined pathway to obtain their Super Visa and join their families in Canada.
