Super Visa and Super Visa Insurance

Let's talk about super visas and super visa insurance. I know we've talked about it before, but it's always good to have as much information as possible. You can see the other posts I used to cover super visas and insurance <here> and <here>. On we go!

Basic Requirements

As you know, if you are a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you can obtain a super visa. To get a super visa, you must:

·         be a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

·         be admissible to Canada

·         meet other requirements

Considered Factors

These “other requirements” consist of several factors considered by immigration officers, including:

·         ties to your home country

·         the purpose of your visit (not to work in Canada)

·         your family and financial situation (are they stable?)

·         the state of your country (is it financially and politically stable?)

·         a written invitation from a Canadian host

Documented Proof

When you're applying for a super visa, you must present a variety of documents with your application.

These include:

·         A written proof of financial support from the person welcoming you into Canada. This person must meet a minimum income threshold, which is available through the government of Canada's website.

·         Proof of Canadian medical insurance coveraged, good for at least one year.

·         A completed form from an immigration medical examination.

Where Insurance Comes In

Not only is it a requirement to have Canadian health insurance coverage for a certain period before obtaining a super visa, even if it weren't, obtaining medical insurance while abroad is a very wise decision. There's no telling what costs you could incur if a medical emergency were to occur.

Maxxlife Financial Inc offers three types of insurance plans:

·         Plan A: No coverage for per-existing conditions such as diabetes, cancer, etc.

·         Plan B: Coverage provided for per-existing conditions. This policy requires a medical questionnaire before it can be issued.

·         Comprehensive: This insurance covers pre-existing conditions and includes coverage for routine annual check-ups, vaccinations, eye exams and so forth.
