Super Visa

Canada permits grandparents and parents of people to visit Canada for work and live as Canadian citizens. A super visa is a temporary resident permit for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens to live in Canada. The super visa allows the parents and grandparents to come and stay in Canada for up to two years per visit. Besides, multiple-entry visas permit grandparents and parents to stay up to around six months per visit. Both types of visas are valid for around ten years in total.

Other than that, applicants who do not need a visitor visa can use a Super visa to stay in the country for around two years. In addition, parents and grandparents applying for this visa do not need a temporary residence visa.
