Parents and Grandparents Super Visa Reforms
The reforms in the Parents Super Visa Canada are as follows:
- Parents and Grandparents can stay for 5 years with a Super Visa every time they immigrate to the country.
- If you currently have a Super Visa, you can request a 2-year extended stay while living in Canada. This concludes that Grandparents Super Visa candidates can stay in Canada for seven years in a row.
- It is anticipated that Canada’s Immigration Minister will provide medical coverage to Canada’s Super Visa applicants through international medical insurance companies.
Super Visa candidates currently can stay for two years in Canada per entry. Canadian Super Visa is valid for 10 years.
IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has not announced more details about the medical insurance, for now, only Canadian medical insurance companies can provide coverage to the Grandparents Super Visa immigrants.
