Super Visa insurance

Visitors to Canada insurance plans meet Super Visa application requirements.

With a Super Visa you can visit Canada for up to 2 years, and you don’t need to renew your status. This is also a multi-entry visa so you can enter Canada multiple times up to 10 years. This is different from a Regular Visa with 10-year multi-entry, which allows you to stay up to 6 months.

To apply for a Super Visa in Canada you must have Super Visa Insurance.

Super Visa requirements in Canada

  • Visitors to Canada must have a minimum $100,000 in health insurance issued by a Canadian insurance company.
  • The insurance must be valid for one full year. This ensures visitors can pay for their medical care if they become injured or sick while in Canada.
  • Visitors must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.

NOTE: It’s recommended that you purchase this plan before you arrive in Canada. It may be purchased when you arrive, but waiting periods will apply.
