CIC Releases Requirements for Super Visa

Citizenship and Immigration Canada has released the requirements for the new parent and grandparent super visa.
Super visas will be valid for up to ten years and allow applicants to stay in Canada continuously for two year periods.
Applicants must:
provide proof of the parent or grandparent relationship to a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
undergo a medical examination and be admissible on health grounds;
provide satisfactory evidence of private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company, valid for a minimum period of one year from the date of entry which:
covers the applicant for health care, hospitalization and repatriation;
provides a minimum of $100,000 coverage; and
is valid for each entry to Canada and available for review by the examining officer upon request; and
provide a written and signed promise of financial support, e.g. a letter of invitation, from the host child or grandchild for the entire duration the applicant intends to stay in Canada. The letter must be accompanied by evidence of their means of providing such support.
