If you wish to sponsor a parent or grandparent, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to be eligible. These include being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident over 18 years of age living in Canada and having a minimum necessary income level to be able to financially support the applicants. It is still unknown whether the 2016 Parent and Grandparent program will reopen with the same requirements as 2015 or if changes will be made. Stay tuned!

Since the launch of the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa program in December 2011, more than 20,000 visas have been issued.  With an 85% approval rate, over 1,000 Super Visas are being issued each month.  As well, candidates who meet all the requirements have almost a 99% chance of being accepted, allowing more families to reunite.

The Super Visa allows holders multiple entries into the country for up to ten years, with the option of staying in Canada for up to two years at a time.  With the Super Visa, families don’t need to reapply for a visa every time they want to visit.
