ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for a super visa, you must have a host who
* is your child or grandchild
* is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada or registered Indian, who
must provide a copy of one of the following:
* the Canadian citizenship document of the host (and of their spouse or
common-law partner, if applicable)
* the permanent resident document of the host (and of their spouse or
common-law partner, if applicable)
* a Secure Certificate of Indian Status or Certificate of Indian Status
(status card)
* is at least 18 years old and lives in Canada
* meets or exceeds the minimum necessary income
* signs a letter inviting you to Canada that includes
* a promise of financial support for the duration of your visit
* Your child or grandchild’s spouse or common-law partner can co-sign the
letter if they are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
* the list (including name and date of birth) and number of people included
when you calculate your family size to determine the minimum necessary
income
Minimum necessary income requirements
Your host can use the following table to find out if they meet the minimum
income requirements.
Minimum amount of money you need to immigrate to Canada based on the size of
your family
Updated June 3, 2024
Number of family members Funds you need
(in Canadian dollars) 1 $29,380 2 $36,576 3 $44,966 4 $54,594 5 $61,920 6
$69,834 7 $77,750 If more than 7 people, for each additional family member, add
$7,916
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)
* be allowed to enter Canada
* take an immigration medical exam
* meet certain other conditions
You can’t include dependants in this application.
HEALTH INSURANCE
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.
OTHER CONDITIONS WE CONSIDER
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
ARE YOU VISA-EXEMPT? YOU CAN STILL APPLY FOR A SUPER VISA.
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.
