You must also:
Be outside Canada when you submit your application for a super visa
Have your visa printed by a visa office outside Canada (wait for visa office instructions)
Take an immigration medical exam
You can’t include dependants in this application.
You must have proof of a health insurance policy from either:
A Canadian insurance company, or
An insurance company outside Canada that is approved by the minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (more information will be available in the coming months)
The health insurance policy should:
Be valid for a minimum of 1 year from the date of entry
Be paid in full or in instalments with a deposit (quotes aren’t accepted)
Cover health care, hospitalization and repatriation
Provide a minimum of $100,000 of emergency coverage
As a super visa holder, you should have a valid health insurance policy while in Canada. If your health insurance will expire before you leave Canada, you may need to renew or maintain your health insurance during your stay. Private health insurance must be valid for each entry to Canada.
Be prepared to show your proof of paid insurance to a border services officer when you enter Canada.
We consider several things before we decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of your visit.
When you apply, we’ll consider:
Your ties to your home country
The purpose of your visit
Your family and finances
The overall economic and political stability of your home country
If you don’t need a visitor visa to enter Canada, you can still get a super visa to stay in Canada for 5 years. If we approve your application, we’ll issue you a letter to give to a border services officer when you arrive in Canada.
If you travel by air, you may also need to apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA) separately to allow you to travel to and enter Canada. The eTA will be electronically linked to your passport, so you need to travel with the passport you used to apply for your eTA and any supporting documents for your super visa application.
Super Visa Insurance is health insurance required for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents applying for a Super Visa. It provides coverage for medical care, hospitalization, and repatriation.
Applicants must have proof of private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is valid for at least one year, covers health care, hospitalization, and repatriation, and provides a minimum coverage of $100,000.
Coverage must be valid for at least one year from the date of entry into Canada, but policies can be extended or renewed if the stay is prolonged.
Some policies may cover pre-existing conditions, but this depends on the insurance provider and the terms of the policy. Medical underwriting is often required to determine coverage eligibility.
A minimum coverage of $100,000 is required, but applicants can choose higher coverage amounts based on their needs and potential medical expenses.
To file a claim, you must contact your insurance provider, submit the required claim forms, provide medical receipts and records, and follow the insurer's specific claim procedures.
Yes, you can extend or renew your Super Visa Insurance if your stay in Canada is extended. Contact your insurance provider to arrange for continued coverage.
Age limits vary by insurance provider, but most insurers offer coverage for applicants up to the age of 85. It is essential to check with individual providers for specific age restrictions.
Consider factors such as coverage amount, premium cost, inclusions and exclusions, the insurer's reputation, and customer service. Comparing multiple quotes and reading policy details thoroughly is recommended.
Exclusions vary by policy but commonly include routine check-ups, elective procedures, pre-existing conditions (unless specified), injuries from extreme sports, and expenses incurred outside of Canada. Always read the policy exclusions carefully.
