Parents…you’ve got to love them!

There’s nothing like their warm, comforting wisdom to help you through turmoil; and just a little homely reprimand when you need it to get your senses together. Even better, if they have the grandparents lending a helping hand.

So nothing quite prepares you for the reality of pursuing a life without their reassuring presence. And when you can help it – well, it isn’t up for negotiating.

If you live in Canada, (whether as a permanent resident or citizen) and your parents are neither of these, then you may have gotten acquainted with the frustration of inviting your parents over on a visitor visa, only to have them scurry back after 6 short months because of the validity period of the visa. It was with alleviating the pressure that the Super Visa was created.

What is a Super Visa?

Super Visa’s were introduced by the Canadian Government in 2011 and are visa’s that allow eligible parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to two years without the need for status renewal. Since they exclusively cater to parents and grandparents, the likelihood of its approval (compared to a visitor visa) is significantly higher.

The major difference between the super visa and a visitor’s multiple entry visas is that even though those traveling on the multiple entry visas can have a ten year validity period, they can only stay for 6-months per entry. On the other hand, a super visa allows multiple entry times for up to 2 years

Eligibility to Obtain a Super Visa

You can request a Super Visa for your parents or grandparents if you can meet the conditions required. Summarily, the parent or grandparents must prove that their relationship with the child and present a letter of invitation from said child/grandchild living in Canada.

The grandparents must also;

• Demonstrate that they have reasons to return to their home country after the trip
• Explain their reasons for embarking on the trip
• Summit another letter, stating that their child or grandchild would be responsible for their journey , and is financially capable.
• Purchase medical insurance coverage and complete a medical examination

Super Visa Invitation Letter

As with other visas, obtaining a visa often requires presenting a letter of invitation from someone in the country you intend to visit.

In this case, it entails presenting a letter from the child or grandchild who is inviting you to Canada. While it may not necessarily guarantee entry into the country, it is a prerequisite for obtaining a super visa invitation.

Contents of a Super Visa Invitation letter

Even though issuing a letter of invitation does not automatically make you responsible for your visitor, it must contain sufficient information about you and the invite to improve chances of having the letter approved.

Remember that the letter must be notarized (if the visa office requests specifically) and sent to the Canadian embassy or consulate. It must contain –

• The complete name of the parents and grandparents as well as the child’s (sponsor)
• The birth dates, address and contact number of both parties
• Relationship between the guest(s) and the sponsor
• The applicant’s length of stay and where they will reside
• Details about your family and other dependents (if applicable)
