Visitor Visa
A visitor visa is the same as a temporary resident visa. It is an official document that is affixed in your passport if it is determined that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada. Most travellers need a visitor visa to travel to Canada and might need one if transiting through a Canadian airport on the way to a final destination. Most visitors require a visitor visa to visit Canada and can stay up to 6 months in Canada if issued one. The need for a visitor visa depends on;
- the type of travel document you plan to travel with
- the country that issued your travel document
- your nationality
- your mode of travel to Canada for your trip
Super Visa: Parents/Grandparents
The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa that provides multiple entries for a period up to 10 years. The key difference is that the Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents visit family in Canada for up to two years at a time without the need to renew their status, while a 10-year multiple entry visa would only have a status period for each entry of six months only. There are a few conditions to be met to be eligible for the Super Visa. One key one is that unlike the visitor visa, the family member in Canada must show proof that they are able to financially support the parent or grandparents throughout the duration their stay
