Contact UsWhat Is A Super Visa, And Who Qualifies For It?
The Super Visa is a Canadian-issued travel visa designed to provide a streamlined family reunification pathway for Canadian citizens or permanent residents whose parents and/or grandparents live outside of Canada. Super Visa holders can enter Canada multiple times over a 10-year period and stay for up to 5 years at a time, with the possibility of extending their stay by up to 2 more years while in the country.
In order to be eligible for a Canadian Super Visa, you must have a child or grandchild who:
- Is at least 18 years of age
- Is a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or registered under the Indian Act of Canada
- Meets or exceeds certain minimum income requirements
- Signs a letter inviting you to Canada and promising financial support for the duration of your visit
Super Visa applicants must also take an immigration medical exam and obtain health insurance for the duration of their stay in Canada.

Factors Affecting Super Visa Insurance Costs In Winnipeg
The price of Super Visa insurance in Winnipeg can vary significantly from case to case and is impacted by a variety of factors including the coverage details of the policy, the age and overall health of the applicant, the length of time they plan to stay in Canada, and whether or not they are seeking multi-entry coverage options.
Single Vs. Multi-Entry Coverage Options
A multi-entry health insurance policy is typically more expensive than a single-entry policy. This is because it encompasses a broader scope of coverage, allowing the policyholder to have more flexibility in travelling between Canada and their home country.
Age And Health Considerations
As with other types of health insurance coverage, the cost of Super Visa insurance is influenced by the age and health history of the applicant, as well as any pre-existing medical conditions they may have.
