The Best Super Visa Insurance in Canada

What is Super Visa ?

A super visa is a temporary visa issued to the parents and grandparents of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. People holding a super visa can enter Canada as visitors and stay for up to five years without having to renew their status. Parents and grandparents with super visas may also apply for an extension if they wish to stay in Canada for an extended period of time.

The Government of Canada has a few super visa eligibility requirements for persons applying for a super visa. One of them requires your parents or grandparents to have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance carrier that is valid for at least a year from the date of arrival into Canada. Having super visa insurance fulfills this criteria.
