Super Visa Insurance For Parents in Ottawa

Bringing your parents or grandparents to the National Capital Region? The Canadian Super Visa program is an incredible way to keep families together, allowing your loved ones to visit for up to 5 years at a time.

However, to qualify, the Federal Government mandates that visitors hold private emergency medical insurance issued by a Canadian company. As your dedicated broker at Insure In Canada Inc., I help Ottawa families navigate these requirements, ensuring you get the right coverage without overpaying.

How Does the Super Visa Insurance Program Work?

The Minimum Requirement: You must purchase an Emergency Medical Coverage policy worth at least $100,000 to $300,000.

The Timeline: You must attach the purchased policy to your visa application. Processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.

The Risk-Free Guarantee: If the visa application is refused by IRCC, your insurance premium will be refunded with a 100% guarantee.

The Flexibility: Once the initial one-year coverage period is over, the policy can be easily renewed for extended stays.

Super Visa vs. Visitor Visa: What is the Difference?

  • Sponsorship: Only Canadian citizens or permanent residents can apply for a Super Visa for their parents/grandparents. Anyone can apply for a regular Visitor Visa.
  • Duration of Stay: A Super Visa allows visitors to stay in Canada for up to 5 consecutive years per entry. A Visitor Visa only allows a maximum stay of 6 months per entry.
  • Income Requirements: The Super Visa requires the Canadian host to meet the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) threshold. A Visitor Visa does not have this strict income formality.

Official Requirements for a Super Visa Application

To ensure your application is successful, you must provide:

  • Proof that you are the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  • An official letter of financial support from your Canadian child or grandchild.
  • Proof of the host's income (meeting LICO minimums) and a copy of their passport or PR card.
  • Proof that the applicant has completed a medical examination.
  • A valid insurance policy from a Canadian medical insurance company (valid for 365 days).

What Does Your Insurance Plan Cover?

A comprehensive policy ensures your family is protected from high Canadian medical costs. Standard benefits include:

  • Hospitalization and ward accommodation
  • Physician and medical services
  • Ambulance transportation
  • Emergency dental repair
  • Prescription medications
  • X-rays and diagnostics
