Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents have a new option for visiting Canada. As of December 1, 2011, you may be eligible to apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa and enjoy visiting your family in Canada for up to two years without the need to renew your status.
This is an ideal option for Canadian Citizens and Canadian Permanent Residents who are waiting to sponsor their parents for PR, or who currently do not qualify for Parental PR sponsorship.
The financial requirement for a Super Visa is less strict than PR sponsorship- the minimum necessary income (MNI) is 30% lower than that of PR sponsorship, and only 1 year of gross income must exceed the MNI vs 3 years with PR Sponsorship.
To Apply For The Parent And Grandparent Super Visa, You Must:
- be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada
- be found admissible to Canada and meet certain other conditions.
- the person’s family and financial situation
- the overall economic and political stability of the home country and an invitation from a Canadian host.
