It’s great to be able to have parents or grandparents visit and stay with you in Canada for an extended period of time – often times, a trip of 1 or 2 months is not enough time. The new Canadian Super Visa however, can change that by allowing your parents or grandparents to remain in Canada for 24 months at a time, without renewing their status. This visa is valid for 10 years.
One of the key requirements for obtaining the Super Visa for Canada is insurance. Since many of the times parents and grandparents are elderly, the cost of medical care and hospitalization can be pricey. This is why Super Visa applicants must submit proof that they have purchased private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is valid for a minimum of one year and offers a minimum of $100,000 in coverage for health care, hospitalization and repatriation. Regardless of it being mandatory, the need to purchase this insurance to protect your elderly loved ones is important in an event of needing medical care.
