Super Visa Insurance
Tailored Coverage for Parents and Grandparents Visiting Canada
Health insurance for parents and grandparents visiting Canada long-term.
The Super Visa is a special Canadian visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years per visit, with multiple entries over 10 years.
To be approved, visitors must show proof of private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance provider . This is where Super Visa Insurance comes in—providing the mandatory health coverage required for the visa, and more importantly, protecting your loved ones during their stay.
Why Is Super Visa Insurance Required?
Canada does not offer free public healthcare to visiting parents or grandparents, even with a Super Visa. If a medical emergency happens—like a fall, illness, or hospitalization—the costs can be thousands of dollars.
Super Visa Insurance ensures that:
- Visitors have up to $100,000 or more in emergency medical coverage
- You meet IRCC’s insurance requirement for visa approval
- Your family is protected from the high cost of Canadian healthcare
What Does Super Visa Insurance Cover?
- Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
- Doctor visits, diagnostic tests, x-rays
- Emergency dental care (limited coverage)
- Prescription drugs during medical treatment
- Ambulance transportation
- Repatriation and return of remains (in case of death)
- Some plans include side trips outside Canada (e.g., short U.S. visits)
Coverage limits typically range from $100,000 to $300,000, with policy options that meet or exceed IRCC requirements.
How Does It Work?
- You choose a policy for at least $100,000 in coverage and a minimum of one year.
- Policies can now be purchased from both Canadian and international insurance companies.
- Submit proof of this insurance with your Super Visa application.
- Once approved, the visitor is covered during their stay in Canada.
Some providers allow monthly payment plans (with an upfront deposit) and refunds for unused time if the visitor leaves Canada early or the visa is denied.
