Super Visa keeps getting more popular—20,000 and counting!

  With over 1,000 Super Visas being issued monthly, this has become one of Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s most popular programs. The approval rate remains high at 85 per cent. The Super Visa is a multiple entry visa that is valid for up to ten years, while offering holders the option of staying in Canada for up to two years at a time. This reduces the need for frequent visitors to renew their status during an extended family visit. The process for getting a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Applicants for the Super Visa must provide proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income level, demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance and undergo the immigration medical examination. To date, almost 99 per cent of Super Visa applicants who met these requirements were approved. “We understand that what families want most is to spend more time with their loved ones,” said Minister Kenney. “The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is yet another way the government is bringing families together.” Backgrounder: Applying for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa Published by CIC on July 11, 2013]]>
