Are your parents or grandparents planning to visit you in Canada? A Canadian super visa allows them to visit multiple times throughout the super visa’s 10-year period, offering stays for up to five years at a time. This visa program is available to parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Obtaining super visa insurance is also a crucial requirement of the application process and is required for each entry into Canada.

It is important to understand the requirements for super visa insurance before applying. Below we share important information regarding insurance for the super visa application.

Understanding Super Visa Insurance in Canada

Super visa health insurance offers more than just financial protection for visitors to Canada against unforeseen emergency medical expenses, it also provides peace of mind to sponsors, knowing they can rest assured that their parents and grandparents are protected against unexpected medical emergency expenses during their stay in Canada.

Applicants need to meet the following criteria to qualify for a Canadian super visa, including but not limited to:

• Be a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or Canadian permanent resident. Proof of residency or citizenship must be provided.
• They must have a letter from their child or grandchild, as evidence of financial support, who meets the minimum income threshold.
• Complete an immigration medical examination in their home country.
• Proof of adequate coverage for super visa insurance from a Canadian insurance company.

Before purchasing coverage, visitors should inquire about what kind of benefits and limitations the super visa health insurance provides. The super visa insurance must:

• Be valid for a minimum of one year from the date of entry,
• Be paid in full or in installments with a deposit (quotes are not accepted),
• Cover health care, hospitalization, and repatriation, and
• Provide a minimum of $100,000 of emergency coverage.

Super Visa Insurance Rates and Payment Options

Super visa insurance rates are calculated based on the policyholder’s age on the date of application, length of stay, plan selected, deductible, and coverage limit. Premiums can be paid in full on the date of application, or through the Monthly Payment Option.
