How to Apply For a Super Visa Insurance

Super Visa Insurance is a unique insurance for parents and grandparents of citizens and residents of Canada who have been staying in Canada for a long duration. Whatever medical emergencies arise during the stay of your parents and grandparents are taken care of by Super Visa Insurance.

What is a Super Visa and Super Visa Insurance?

A visa that allows the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or residents to come to stay in Canada to meet them is what is known as a Super Visa.

Usually, someone coming to Canada can only stay for a duration of six months if he/she has a visitor’s visa, but a super visa allows the visitors to stay in Canada for as long as five years, and they can also come again a number of times within the five years time.

The best part is a super visa holder can also get a two-year extension if they apply for it. After your approval, your super visa insurance will stay valid for up to 10 years. Isn’t it amazing?

Now let’s come to Super Visa Insurance. Super Visa Insurance is a particular kind of travel medical insurance for super visa holders that helps in paying for any medical emergencies coming up when your relatives get sick or hurt during their stay in Canada. This type of insurance is specifically made to meet the super visa requirements, so it is essential to have sufficient insurance if you want a Super Visa.
