Super Visa insurance — the essentials
Bringing parents or grandparents on a Super Visa? Here are the basics. For the complete, dedicated Super Visa guidance, we run a specialist site — and I can still help you either way.
What Super Visa insurance has to do
The Super Visa lets the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents visit for longer stays. To qualify, the program requires medical insurance from an approved Canadian provider that meets a set minimum coverage amount and term — valid for at least a year and covering healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation.
Because the requirements are specific (and updated by IRCC from time to time), getting the coverage amount, term, and provider right matters. Always verify the current program rules before applying.
