Super Visa
Canadian Government Understands the needs of their permanent residents and in this regard, people whose parents or grandparents live outside of Canada, IRCC has launched a program which is called Super Visa by which an individual can invite their parents or grandparents on a long visit for a family re-unite. Rather than going on compassionate grounds, the Canadian Govt. has decided to check if a person has booked a health insurance policy for their parents or grandparents, which is a major requirement of this program.
Basically it is a long-Term multiple-entry visitor visa for the parents or grandparents of a person who is a Permanent resident or Canadian Citizen. Visa is normally granted for 10 years and a valid period of stay is 2 years while in normal multiple entry visas the stay is only valid for 6 months subject to officer discretion.
