What is a Super Visa?
This type of visa will allow eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens, permanent residents or registered Indians to visit their family in Canada for up to 5 years without having to renew their status.
Those with a Super Visa already will also be able to apply for an extension of 2 years that may enable them to remain in Canada as a visitor for up to 7 years on a single stay. It provides multiple entries for a period of up to 10 years.
