With the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) intake currently closed by IRCC, the Super Visa remains the most reliable, fully open way to have your parents or grandparents in Canada with you—for up to 5 consecutive years per visit, with re-entry privileges for up to 10 years. Supervised by Elnaz Imani, RCIC #R526618.
IRCC has paused new intake under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). No new interest-to-sponsor forms are being accepted, leaving families without a direct permanent residence sponsorship route for parents.
The Super Visa is completely unaffected by this pause and remains fully open. While it does not grant permanent residence, it solves the immediate priority of keeping families together in Canada for extended periods without requiring continuous visa extensions or leaving the country every 6 months.
No need to renew status or exit Canada every 6 months like standard visitor visas.
Can be held concurrently while waiting for PGP intake to reopen in future years.
Signed letter of financial support promising to support parents/grandparents during their stay, including proof of Canadian citizenship or PR.
The sponsoring child/grandchild must meet or exceed the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) based on family size, proven via CRA Notice of Assessment (NOA).
Valid emergency medical insurance policy from a Canadian insurer covering at least $100,000 for 1 year from entry.
