Super Visa
The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa for Canada allow parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. Super visas typically grant entry to Canada for up to two years, with the ability to apply for extensions of one year at a time. It is for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who want to visit Canada for lengthy periods.
All applicants are required to purchase private medical insurance before landing in Canada.
The Super Visa has allowed many thousands of international parents and grandparents to come to Canada for extended periods, benefiting families and communities across the country, not just socially, but economically too. For example, by their presence in Canada parents and grandparents of adult children can help with taking care of infants, allowing working-age immigrants and naturalized citizens to take a full part in the Canadian labour force.
It should be noted that Super Visa holders are not allowed to work in Canada. There is a permanent residence program for parents and grandparents; however, there is a limited supply of visas under this program, and applications can take a long time to be processed.

I highly recommend to get your immigration done by Gurwinder. Since the first day I met him in their office he was very nice and welcoming. He was also always on top of everything which made the process 10 times less stressful. Me and my whole family had a great experience with High Spirit Immigration!
Great service, Very reliable and professional. Got my application done from him and he did it so nicely that it was a success the very first time. I always recommend Gurwinder for any kind of Immigration services.
