Super Visa: Your Extended Family Connection
The Super Visa is a special type of visa designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It allows them to visit their family in Canada for an extended period, providing an excellent opportunity for family reunification. It offers an incredible opportunity for parents and grandparents to visit their children or grandchildren in Canada for up to 5 years at a time. With multiple entries permitted over up to 10 years, this visa streamlines the process for family reunification.
