SUPER VISA INSURANCE

For Parents & Grandparents
Visiting Canada

Super Visa
Super Visa is a multi-entry visa that permits the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit their family in Canada. It’s a visa that allows multiple entries for a period of up to 10 years and allows them to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time without the need for renewal of their status. A multiple entry Visitor Visa limits the stay only up to 6 months and hence Super Visa is a better option.
Effective July 4,2022 the following changes to the parents and grandparents Super Visa are taking effect:
  • The length of stay in Canada will increase to a maximum of 5 years per trip. Up from the previous 2 year maximum

  • Applicants will be able to buy Super Visa insurance from designated International insurance companies rather than only from Canadian insurers
  • People with a Super Visa will be able to request to extend their stay for up to two years while in Canada already
Being able to extend your Super Visa for another two years while already in Canada effectively means that each trip to Canada could be up to 7 years for your parents and grandparents.
Super Visa Insurance

Super Visa insurance is a travel insurance policy that is specially designed for super visa applicants. It is a legal requirement for all super visa applicants to provide proof that they have valid emergency medical insurance for at least one year with minimum coverage of $100,000.

Since Super Visa holders will not have access to the Canadian healthcare system, Super Visa Insurance acts as protection from financial hardship in the event of medical emergencies.  It helps pay for health care, prescription drugs, hospital stays, and repatriation. Your Super Visa insurance policy should be:
  • Valid for at least one year from the date of entry
  • Provides a minimum of $100,000 coverage
  • Covers emergency health care, hospitalization and repatriation costs
  • Purchased from a Canadian or designated International insurance company
  • Be valid and available for review by a port of entry officer at each entry

Types of Super Visa Insurance
There are two types of Super Visa Insurance plans:
  • Basic Plans: These plans will provide very basic required coverage for prescription medicine, dental care, and repatriation. Pre-existing conditions coverage is not included in basic plans. These plans are suitable for visitors who are not on any daily prescribed medications, are in excellent health, and require a budget friendly plan
  • Enhanced Plans: These plans will provide higher coverage for prescription drugs, dental care, and repatriation. Stable pre-existing conditions coverage is included in enhanced plans. These plans are expensive as compared to basic plans and are recommended for visitors looking for additional and upgraded benefits
Super Visa Insurance is designed to cover your emergency medical expenses during your stay in Canada. You can choose a basic or enhanced plan depending on your needs. Both basic and enhanced plans will provide the minimum required coverage of $100,000 but the premiums and coverage will differ among various providers. Make sure to shop around for the best policy that suits your age, medical background and coverage needs, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.  Compare the policies not only for premiums but also for their benefits, coverage and exclusions because the cheapest option is not necessarily the best option.
