Super Visa started from December 1st, 2011. The Canadian Government introduced a new Visa for Parents and Grandparents to visit in Canada. Visitors who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada, but their children or grandchildren are either citizen or permanent resident, can visit their family in Canada and can spend time and enjoy with their families. This is a long-term, multiple entry visa valid for up to 10 years. Parent can visit their family in Canada for up to two years per visit without the need to renew their status. This new Super Visa is reuniting families much quicker. In earlier days it used to take 8 years but now it may take only 8 weeks. It further helps your parents and grand parents to visit you on a short time notice to help you such in pregnancy situations.
Please note that LICO requirements can change every year.
Canadian government mandated along the super visa, the requirements of having a valid medical insurance in effect when entering Canada.
International travel does involve a lot of planning. Health related planning is very important section of overall planning. Canadian government has outlined medical insurance as mandatory because it is a proven fact that with the change of continent, a lot changes with the person’s health. A person can be exposed to extreme climates, weather uncertainties, confusion with change in driving habits can lead to sudden and unpredictable accidents and many more uncertain factors. All these changes can quickly add a heavy financial burden and stresses on the visitor’s family in terms of many medical bills.
Super Visa medical insurance protects the visitor and visitor’s family against the cost of medical bills, in case they need any sort of emergency medical attention or treatment. Here are some examples: medical appliances (wheelchair, braces, crutches), diagnostic services (x-rays, laboratory testing), prescription medication for 30 days, private nursing, ambulance transportation, professional services, expenses related to death, bedside companion, return of dependent children, dental accidents, etc. This could be caused by many factors such as an accident or an illness that occurs while they are in Canada. Such expenses are covered under the super visa insurance plan and help visitor and family from undergoing any unrequired financial stresses.
This health insurance coverage, also known as super visa insurance, must be effective upon arrival into Canada for at least one 1 year. However, this is required to be planned and arranged prior to their arrival in Canada or they won’t be permitted to enter the country.
The direct requirement of insurance coverage is explained on the Canadian government official website as follows:
