​
What Is a Super Visa?
A Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for up to 5 years at a time. Unlike a regular visitor visa, the Super Visa is multi-entry and can remain valid for up to 10 years, making long-term family visits easier and more flexible. If your planned visit is 6 months or less, you should instead apply for a visitor visa.

2. Status in Canada
