Super Visa

Super Visa Canada: what it is and who can apply for it?

The Canadian Super Visa is an authorization that allows visiting children or grandchildren for a maximum period of 2 years. It is a travel authorization that is granted exclusively to parents and grandparents of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. This visa is suitable for multiple entries for a period of up to 10 years. Note that if you want to stay for 6 months or less in the North American country, a tourist visa or the online eTA visa waiver is more recommended. The latter is a much simpler processing travel permit.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Super Visa Canada: eligibility requirements, visa application, and difference from the Canadian ETA.
