The Super Visa is a special type of visitor visa designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It allows them to visit their children or grandchildren in Canada for an extended period.
Key Features:
- The Super Visa is typically valid for up to 10 years and allows multiple entries into Canada during its validity.
- Each entry can allow the individual to stay in Canada for up to two years before they must leave the country. However, the officer at the port may decide to grant the entry for a limited time. This extended stay period is a significant advantage for parents and grandparents who want to spend more time with their family in Canada.
- To be eligible for a Super Visa, applicants must meet certain income and sponsorship requirements, and their Canadian child or grandchild must provide a letter of invitation and financial support.
Key Differences between the two:
- The Visitor Visa is for general short-term visits to Canada, while the Super Visa is specifically for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
- The Super Visa has longer validity and allows for longer stays compared to the standard Visitor Visa.
- The eligibility criteria and application process for the Super Visa are more stringent, including income and sponsorship requirements.
Both the Visitor Visa and the Super Visa provide opportunities for temporary visits to Canada, but the Super Visa is tailored to facilitate more extended and frequent stays for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Visitors should carefully review the specific requirements and application procedures for the type of visa that best suits their travel plans and family circumstances.
