Starting December 1, people all over the world can go to a Canadian visa office and apply for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa.

The new Parent and Grandparent Super Visa will be valid for up to 10 years and will allow an applicant to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status. CIC visa officers expect to issue Super Visas within eight weeks of application. This means that instead of waiting for eight years, a parent or a grandparent can come to Canada within eight weeks. Parent and Grandparent Super Visa applicants will be required to obtain private Canadian health care insurance for their stay in Canada.

The Super Visa is super great because processing will be quick and it will respond to a genuine need.

The Super Visa is aimed to help parents and grandparents of Canada permanent residents to come to Canada multiple times on the same visa as visitors and stay here for a maximum period of two years each time they come to Canada.
