Super Visa Insurance

Super Visa Insurance is a mandatory medical insurance policy required for parents and grandparents applying for a Canadian Super Visa. The Super Visa allows them to visit Canada for up to 5 years per entry, with a visa validity of up to 10 years.

The insurance is designed to cover emergency medical expenses, hospital stays, and repatriation costs while they are in Canada.

Why Super Visa Insurance is Important

1

Mandatory Requirement for Visa Approval

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) require proof of a minimum $100,000 coverage valid for at least one year. Without insurance, the Super Visa application will be refused.

2

Financial Protection

Healthcare in Canada is expensive for visitors — a single hospital stay can cost thousands of dollars. This insurance prevents significant out-of-pocket expenses in case of illness or accident.

3

Peace of Mind for Families

Ensures parents and grandparents receive timely medical care without causing financial stress on their sponsors or family members.

4

Compliance with Canadian Regulations

Keeps visitors in line with IRCC requirements and ensures they maintain valid coverage for their stay.

5

Coverage for Extended Stays

Suitable for visitors staying for longer periods (up to 5 years per entry), unlike regular travel insurance that typically covers shorter trips.
