Reunite with your loved ones in Canada through the Super Visa Canada program. CHD Immigration provides professional guidance for parents and grandparents applying for a Canada Super Visa, including eligibility assessments, document preparation, insurance guidance, and complete application support from start to finish.
What Is Super Visa Canada?
Super Visa Canada is a long-term multiple-entry visa that allows eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods without frequently renewing their visitor status. It is designed to help families spend more time together while maintaining temporary resident status.
Unlike a regular Visitor Visa Canada, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa offers longer authorized stays for eligible applicants. Applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements, including medical insurance coverage, financial support from their child or grandchild in Canada, and admissibility requirements established by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
CHD Immigration assists families throughout the complete Super Visa Canada application process, from eligibility assessments and document preparation to application submission and ongoing immigration support.
