Application Process For Canada Super Visa:

In most countries, application fees for Canada Super Visa must be paid in Canadian dollars. The families applying must send their applications in one package to the location where the principal applicant will be processed. In the case of Canada Super Visa, how long it will take to process your application depends on the visa office where you applied. You may need to appear for an interview with the visa officer for obtaining Canada Super Visa. Another requirement for Canada Super Visa is a medical exam to enter Canada. The instructions for the same will be sent by a Canadian immigration officer.

Canada Super Visa is different from a visit visa and multiple entry visa. Usually, most visitors come to Canada for a visit of upto six months. If they need to stay longer, they have to extend the visa and pay a new fee. But when it comes to Canada Super Visa, eligible parents and grandparents can stay in Canada without having to renew their status. Canada Super Visa is also different from a 10-year multiple entry visa. While Canada Super Visa allows and individual to stay in Canada for upto two years at a time, the multiple entry visa would only have a status period of six months for each visit.
