There are so many motives for visiting a country one of them being tourism. People also travel to meet their family and relatives, to explore the world around, for corporate or business meetings or for holidays. They are different type of Canada visitor visa application including tourist visit, business visit, family & friends and parents & grandparent visit visa. With the parent and grandparent super visa, qualified guardians and grandparents can visit family in Canada for up to two years without the need to reestablish their status.


The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa that provides multiple entries to a period up to 10 years. The key distinction is that the Super Visa enables a person to stay for up to two years on every entry into Canada, while a 10-year multiple entry visas would just have a status period for every entry of 6 month only.

The children or grandchildren can also apply for immigration for their parents/grandparents within 2 years of their stay in this country. The Super Visa applicants must also be found admissible to Canada and meet some other conditions.
