Super Visa is Super Popular: Over 15,000 Parent and Grandparent Super Visas Issued

More than 1,000 Super Visas Issued each Month

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/06/13 -- More than 15,000 Parent and Grandparent Super Visas have been issued since the program's launch in December 2011, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

"The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa provides families with flexibility, and it is clearly growing in popularity," said Minister Kenney. "Our government is committed to family reunification. I am pleased to see that more and more parents and grandparents are getting the opportunity to spend longer periods of time with their loved ones in Canada."

With over 1,000 Super Visas issued monthly, approval rates remain high at 86 percent.

The Super Visa-a multiple entry visa valid for up to 10 years-allows parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. This Super Visa gives visiting parents and grandparents the freedom to travel back and forth between Canada and their home country without long waits.

The process for getting a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Applicants for the Super Visa must provide 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. Almost 99 percent of Super Visa applicants who met these requirements also went on to meet all other standard admissibility criteria.
