Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship

The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is a temporary residence visa that allows parents and grandparents to live in Canada for up to two years on each visit. It is legal for up to ten years. A consistent multiple-entry visa is also valid for up to ten years but only permits for a stay of up to six months per visit.

Suppose you give in to the concern to sponsor form and you are requested to submit a complete application. In that case, you can sponsor your parents and grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada.

If you do, you must:

• Livelihood them and their dependants financially
• Make sure they don’t need social assistance from the government
