Super Visa (Parents and Grandparents)

You must gather a specific set of documents to prove your eligibility and financial security. All documents not in English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation.

Identity and Relationship Documents

• Valid Passport: Your passport should ideally be valid for at least 10 years, as the visa cannot exceed the passport's expiry date.
• Proof of Relationship: A birth certificate, baptismal record, or other official government document that names your child or grandchild and links them to you.

Financial and Support Documents

• Letter of Invitation: A signed letter from your child or grandchild promising financial support for the duration of your stay. It must include a list of everyone living in their household.
• Host’s Proof of Income: The host must provide their most recent Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the Canada Revenue Agency. If an NOA is unavailable, they may provide T4/T1 forms, employment insurance stubs, or pay stubs.

Health and Insurance Documents

• Medical Insurance: You must provide proof of a paid-in-full (or deposit-based) insurance policy valid for at least one year from your date of entry. The policy must provide at least $100,000 in emergency coverage and be issued by a Canadian company or an authorized international provider.
• Immigration Medical Exam (IME): You must undergo a physical examination performed by an IRCC-approved panel physician.
