Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents can now stay in the country for up so seven years with a super visa.
. "The enhancements to the super visa program allow family members to reunite for longer in Canada, which helps everyday Canadian citizens and permanent residents succeed and contribute to society, while affording their parents and grandparents invaluable opportunities to spend time with their family in Canada."
The super visa program was started in 2011 to allow parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit the country for extended periods of time. The child or grandchild hosting them must meet, and applicants must also pass a medical exam and provide proof of private health insurance. Under the new changes, approved international medical insurance providers will be permitted to join Canadian companies in offering coverage.
