Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced enhancements to Canada’s super visa program. 

Starting in July 4, 2022, these changes will increase the length of stay for super visa holders to five years per entry into Canada, with an ability to extend their stay in two year increments while in Canada.

Another change to the program is that international medical insurance companies will be allowed to offer the required medical coverage. 

Currently, only insurance companies established in Canada can provide the required medical coverage for a super visa applicant. Information about any designated medical insurance companies located outside of Canada will be communicated on IRCC’s website in the near future.

The super visa is a multiple visa valid for up to ten years and is the preferred option for parents to spend considerable time in Canada for individuals who do not want to immigrate to Canada or who are waiting for their parental sponsorship applications to finalize. These changes offer small but important tweaks to the program.

It was an exceptional experience with border law firm. They take time to understand client situation and offer the best option. Devika is well knowledgeable lawyer and easy to connect with. John took care of my case and went above and beyond my expectation. He was always there to answer my question. The most responsible lawyer I ever meet, to meet my deadlines, I know he worked many evenings and weekends. I strongly recommend this law firm. In fact no one should go to consultant. My each and every penny spend with this firm is worth more. I am thankful to Devika and John for helping me and my family for our immigration needs.

We wanted to write sincere thanks to John, Devika and Borders Law firm for the help throughout the process. John was extremely kind and thorough and he counselled with suitable options available for me on migration to Canada, documentation submissions, query resolutions, visa processing and continued personal support and follow up until the last step I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to our companies immigration needs going forward. Would recommend this firm for anybody blindly looking for immigration help.
