To apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, you must:

• be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada
• be found admissible to Canada and meet certain other conditions.
• Visa officers consider several factors before deciding if a person is admissible. The person must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of the visit. Among the things that could be considered are:
  • the person’s ties to the home country
  • the purpose of the visit
  • the person’s family and financial situation
  • the overall economic and political stability of the home country and an invitation from a Canadian host.

In addition to being found admissible to Canada, the parent or grandparent must also:

• provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or grandchild in Canada who meets a minimum income threshold
• prove that they have bought Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year and complete an Immigration Medical Examination.
