Super Visa insurance: the essentials
The short version of how Super Visa insurance works — with a pointer to our dedicated specialist site for the full guide.
The Super Visa lets the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents visit for extended stays — and it requires approved medical insurance to qualify.
What the insurance has to do
To support a Super Visa application, the policy generally must come from an approved Canadian provider, meet a minimum coverage amount, last at least a year, and cover healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation. The exact requirements are set by IRCC and can change, so always verify the current rules before applying.
Getting it right
The coverage amount, term, and the traveller’s pre-existing conditions all matter. Because Super Visa is a specialized topic, we maintain a dedicated site that covers it in full — requirements, costs, monthly plans, refunds, and program-specific quotes.
