Although the Super Visa offers longer stays, the application process requires strict eligibility compliance. Applicants must provide a valid invitation letter, proof of financial support from their sponsor, and approved medical insurance coverage. Applications may be refused if financial, insurance, or eligibility requirements are not properly demonstrated.

What Is a Super Visa?
The Super Visa is a long-term visitor visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. Unlike a regular visitor visa, the Super Visa allows stays of up to five years per visit and remains valid for ten years, and it allows multiple entries. It is designed to support family reunification while maintaining temporary resident status.
At Immisa Immigration, we guide families through the Super Visa process with structured eligibility assessment and accurate documentation preparation. Our approach ensures compliance with immigration requirements while helping families reunite in Canada smoothly and confidently.
Super Visa Eligibility Requirements
These are the eligibility requirements:
- Invitation Letter from Child or Grandchild
- Proof of Financial Support (LICO Requirement)
- Valid Medical Insurance Coverage
- Admissibility and Immigration Compliance
Common Reasons Super Visa Applications Are Refused
Financial Requirement Not Met
Super Visa sponsors must meet minimum income requirements to support their parents or grandparents. Insufficient income or missing financial proof may lead to refusal.
Weak Family or Immigration Documentation
Incomplete invitation letters, unclear relationship proof, or missing supporting documents can raise concerns about eligibility and application credibility.
Insurance or Medical Coverage Issues
Applicants must have valid Canadian medical insurance that meets Super Visa requirements. Incorrect, expired, or insufficient insurance coverage may result in refusal.
Temporary Intent Concerns
Officers must be satisfied that applicants will respect visa conditions. Weak ties outside Canada or unclear travel intent may lead to application refusal.
