Truth be told, a person always in need of unconditional love, care, comfort, kindness, moral values, and patience, that his/her parent or grandparent can only provide in abundance. No one in the world can replace their roles in our life. Either as a friend or teacher, all the roles played by them are significant and important to teach us new lessons of life and to make a better version of our own.

Generally, we come across scenarios where parent or grandparent becomes historian for a child to nurture him/her with family values or to make aware about family roots. While sometimes, they take up the role of a mentor to guide a child for things, he/she afraid to do.

However, in today’s race of competition for comfort and luxury lifestyle, we all are struggling hard to reach our goals. Immigration is also a part of it through which hundreds and thousands of aspirants are fulfilling their dreams of well-settled life or high-paid job profiles at their desired place.

Canada is one of the most-searched immigration destinations among immigrants of different nationalities.

Every year, it receives applications from hundreds and thousands of immigrants under its multiple visa programs like Canada Permanent Residence visa, Canada Study visa, Canada Tourist visa and more. Among others, Canada operates a separate visa for bringing parents and grandparents of Canadian residents and permanent residents to Canada to visit or stay with their family members, which is known as Super visa.

What is Super visa for parents and grandparents?

The Canadian government introduced this multiple-entry visitor visa especially, for parents and grandparents. The aim is to reunite children who are living in Canada as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident with their parents and grandparents of other nationality on Canadian soil.

Super visa for parents and grandparents allows its holder to stay in Canada for a maximum period of two years at a time without any need of renewal of status.

However, some may get confused super visa with the Canada family visa. Well, Canada Family visa is a sponsorship visa where a Canadian resident or permanent resident can sponsor his/her parents, grandparents, children, spouse and any other family member for permanent residence status in Canada. On the contrary to that, Super visa for parents and grandparents allows their temporary residence in Canada for a maximum of two years at a time.

Why Super visa is a Multiple-entry visa?

The reason for being called a multiple-entry visa is that a holder (parents and grandparents) can enter multiple times to Canada to visit or to spend time with families there in the duration of 10 years.

Why Super visa is an “extended visitor visa”?

Keeping in line, it is also getting popularity as an "extended visitor visa" due to the fact like a visitor visa; it provides temporary residence to parents and grandparents in Canada to visit their families.

Can parents or grandparents work on super visa?

Like visitor visa, a holder of either super visa is not allowed to work anywhere in Canada.

So, it is important for parents and grandparents who come to Canada on a super visa to ensure that they must not get involved in any commercial activity during their stay in Canada. In fact, they are not even eligible to apply for a work permit.

So, if you are a Canadian resident or permanent resident, then you can call your parents or grandparents for temporary residence in Canada for up to two years. Below are some essential requirements that are needed to be fulfilled for approval on the application of super visa:
