The Canada Super Visa is a special type of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Unlike a regular visitor visa, which allows for a stay of up to 6 months, the Super Visa permits eligible individuals to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a stretch—making it an ideal option for families who want to spend extended time together.
Before applying, it’s important to understand the total cost involved. The Super Visa application requires not just the government processing fees, but also other mandatory expenses like medical insurance and documentation. Here’s a complete breakdown:
1. IRCC Application Fees
The application processing fee for a Super Visa is $100 CAD per person. If biometrics are required (for applicants aged 14 to 79), an additional $85 CAD per person must be paid, or $170 CAD for a family applying together.
Total IRCC Fees (per applicant):
- Application Fee: $100 CAD
- Biometrics (if applicable): $85 CAD
- Total: $100–$185 CAD
2. Medical Insurance Requirement
One of the key eligibility requirements for a Super Visa is that the applicant must have private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company.
- The policy must be valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry.
- It must provide a minimum coverage of $100,000 CAD.
- Proof of full payment (not just a quote) is required at the time of application.
Cost:
The price of medical insurance varies depending on the applicant’s age, health, and length of stay, but typically ranges between $800 to $2,500 CAD per year. Some insurers also offer monthly payment plans or partial refund options in case the applicant leaves Canada early or is refused a visa.
3. Medical Exam (If Required)
Depending on the applicant’s country of residence and personal medical history, an immigration medical exam may be required. This must be done by an IRCC-approved panel physician.
Cost:
Varies by country, usually around $100–$300 CAD per person.
4. Document Preparation & Other Costs
Applicants may incur additional expenses such as:
- Translation and notarization of documents
- Courier charges for original documents (if required)
- Professional immigration consulting or legal representation fees (optional, but highly recommended for error-free application)
