Super Visa

Canada is an excellent immigration destination with multiple options for applicants. You can rely on alternatives such as visitor visa, study visa, work permits, and permanent residency to travel, study, live, and work here. Besides these, you can also get a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa which allows parents and grandparents of permanent residents and Canadian citizens to visit the country for extended periods. It means people with a family in Canada can reunite with them and live together for the long haul. Super visas let you enter for two years and allow extensions of one year at a time. They make an ideal option for older relatives looking to visit and stay for lengthy periods. But there are some complexities involved, such as that the applicants have to buy private medical insurance before landing.
