Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents
Bring family closer with a well-planned Super Visa application
A strong Super Visa file connects the Canadian host, visiting parent or grandparent, financial support, medical insurance and the purpose of the extended family visit in one consistent plan.
A longer family visit
Create a practical visit plan that is personal and well supported
Families often consider the Super Visa when eligible parents or grandparents hope to spend meaningful time with children and grandchildren in Canada. It is designed for temporary family visits and has requirements that differ from a standard visitor visa, including financial support and qualifying private medical insurance.
Founders Immigration Services helps Calgary families organize both sides of the application. We review the host’s status and financial records in Canada, the visitor’s history and circumstances abroad, the expected length and purpose of the visit, and the documents that connect the family’s plan.
The family evidence map
Build the application around both the Canadian host and the visitor
The documents should tell one compatible story even though they come from two households and, often, two countries. We assess how the host’s commitments and the visitor’s circumstances support the same temporary visit plan.
Status and relationship
Confirm the host’s Canadian status and the family relationship to the visiting parent or grandparent.
Income and invitation
Organize current financial records, family-size details, accommodation and the support described in the invitation.
Purpose and history
Present the reason for travel, personal history and expected visit in a clear, accurate chronology.
Insurance and circumstances
Review the medical insurance evidence, travel background and continuing personal or family circumstances abroad.

Questions families often ask
Who is eligible to apply for a Super Visa?
The Super Visa is intended for eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, subject to the program requirements and the applicant’s overall admissibility.
Is medical insurance required for a Super Visa?
Qualifying private medical insurance is a central Super Visa requirement. The policy should be reviewed for the required coverage, duration and provider conditions.
Does the host in Canada need to meet an income requirement?
The host generally needs to demonstrate the applicable financial requirement based on family size and current program rules. Supporting income documents should be carefully prepared.
Is a Super Visa the same as permanent residence?
No. A Super Visa is a temporary resident option for extended family visits. It does not grant permanent residence.
