Preface : The reform now allows applicants to stay in Canada for five consecutive years without renewing their visas. It also allows applicants to purchase health insurance from countries outside Canada. However, according to the official website of the Canadian Immigration Department updated on July 4, at this stage, the Immigration Department still only accepts insurance from Canadian local insurance companies.
According to the official website of the Canadian Immigration Department, major reforms to the Super Visa (Supervisa) took effect recently (July 4). The new changes include:
Super visa holders’ stay time in Canada will be increased to five years each time.
Super visa holders can choose to apply in Canada to extend their stay by up to two years. This means that current super visa holders can now stay in Canada for nearly seven consecutive years.
The Canadian Immigration Minister will have the authority to designate international medical insurance companies to provide insurance for super visa applicants in the future.
The Super Visa is an alternative to the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP), which grants permanent residence to its applicants and is very popular, but the total number of applicants greatly exceeds the total number of applicants expected to be approved.
Although the super visa has made the changes mentioned above, there are still some things that visa holders should pay attention to:
If the application submitted on July 4th and after is processed and approved, you can benefit from the new policy. Stay for 5 years;
If the holder is approved before July 4, as long as the holder enters Canada after July 4, he will benefit from the new policy;
If the holder enters Canada before July 4, Then the new policy is not suitable at this stage and the stay cannot be for 5 years. The time you can stay will remain unchanged based on the period granted by the border officer at the time of entry, that is, if it was originally granted for 2 years, the maximum stay is 2 years.
If such people want to benefit from the latest policies at this stage, they must leave Canada before the end of the current stay period and re-enter after July 4th. Border officials will review the qualifications, and if they are still met, they will be granted a five-year stay.
or the holder can apply to extend the period of stay in Canada, up to 2 years.
For new applicants for super visa, the following certificates must be provided:
are the parents or grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents;
Have a letter from a child or grandchild inviting you to come to Canada, which must include:
in your Commitment to provide financial support during stay in Canada,
the total number and list of the inviter’s family members,
copies of the inviter’s citizenship or permanent resident documents.
Have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company, and it must:
be valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry,

The old super visa only allowed its holders to stay in Canada for up to two years per entry. . In addition, only Canadian insurance providers can provide the medical coverage required for super visa applications.
The reforms now allow applicants to stay in Canada for five consecutive years without renewing their visas.It also allows applicants to purchase health insurance from countries outside Canada. However, according to the official website of the Canadian Immigration Department updated on July 4, at this stage, the Immigration Department still only accepts insurance from Canadian local insurance companies.
Previously, the editor of this website interviewed Immigration Minister Sean Fraser and said that the list of qualified non-Canadian insurance companies will be published on the official website of the Ministry of Immigration at a later date, and everyone can pay attention in time.
Super visa holders who entered the country before July 4th, according to regulations, need to leave the country and re-enter the country to obtain a single stay of 5 years. These people will inevitably have to go through the trouble of entering and leaving the country. And new applicants must contact a local Canadian insurance company overseas.
