SuperVisa 

What is a Super Visa?

A Super Visa is a special category of visa for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Unlike a regular visitor visa, which typically allows a stay of up to six months, the Super Visa enables eligible parents and grandparents to stay for up to five years on each entry into Canada. The key advantage of this Visa is its long validity period of up to 10 years, allowing for multiple entries into Canada. This visa is ideal for families who wish to have their parents or grandparents visit for extended periods without the need for frequent renewals.
