Canada Super Visa
Families matter, and for those living in Canada, having their parents or grandparents visit and stay longer is a cherished dream. The Canada Super Visa makes this possible—offering an extended stay for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents without the hassle of frequent renewals.
At Light Immigration, we simplify the Super Visa process for you—so your loved ones can be closer, for longer.
What is a Canada Super Visa?
The Canada Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time, with a total validity of up to 10 years. It’s a multiple-entry visa, which means the visa holder can travel in and out of Canada as needed during its validity period—without reapplying each time.
