Parent and Grandparent Super Visa a Great Success

Super Visa approval rate now at 83 percent

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/18/12 -- More than 3,500 Parent and Grandparent Super Visa applications have now been approved since the Super Visa was introduced on December 1, 2011, with an overall approval rate of 83 percent, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

"The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is a great success," said Minister Kenney. "Our Government is committed to family reunification. I'm happy to see that the program is growing and that more and more eligible parents and grandparents are getting the opportunity to spend longer periods of time with their loved ones in Canada."

The process for getting a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Applicants for the Super Visa must submit proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income level, demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance and undergo the Immigration Medical Examination. Ninety-nine percent of Super Visa applicants who met these requirements also went on to meet all other standard admissibility criteria which are required for all visa applicants.

When the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa was first launched, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) pledged to issue Super Visas, on average, within eight weeks of the application. As of May 13, CIC continued to meet that processing-time target.
