The latest regulations of super visa in 2022
The maximum validity period of a super visa is ten years (depending on the validity period of the applicant's passport, the previous single entry time was two years). However, in February this year, the Canadian House of Representatives passed the immigration law amendment policy on super visa at first reading.
On June 7, Canada time, Canadian Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced that,
From July 4, 2022:
Extend the stay of super visa holders in Canada to five years each time. If the super visa holder extends his stay in China, it can be renewed for up to 2 years, so he can stay for up to 7 years after a single entry.
Regarding the applicant's insurance purchase, only Canadian insurance companies provided the necessary medical insurance before. At present, the Immigration Department allows applicants to purchase medical insurance from designated insurance companies outside Canada, and the information of designated medical insurance companies will be published on the website of the Immigration Department later.
Minister Fraser said that affected by the epidemic, Canada still continues to give priority to family reunion, so that more families can reunite and immigrants and citizens can better contribute to the Canadian economy. Therefore, the measures to strengthen the super visa will make it easier for Canadians to reunite with their parents and grandparents in Canada and allow their parents or grandparents to stay in Canada for a longer period of time.
The role of Canada's super visa: it mainly allows parents or grandparents to spend more time with their families living in Canada, and also reduces the "lottery pressure" for parents and grandparents to reunite with immigrants every year.
When applying for a super visa, you need your children in Canada as guarantors and meet the following conditions: health examination, valid private medical insurance certificate in Canada, and children's income meets the minimum income requirement of family size.
