Here’s a rewritten version of the information you provided on Canada Super Visa Insurance:
Moving to a foreign country can be tough, especially when it means being separated from your loved ones. Fortunately, the Canadian government understands this struggle and offers immigration options for those looking to reunite their families. One such option is the Parents and Grandparents Super Visa program, which has proven to be a successful family reunification program.
The program allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to apply for a Canadian Super Visa, which permits them to stay with their relatives for up to two years at a time. Participants can make multiple entries over a 10-year period, making it convenient for families to spend time together whenever they choose. Whether it’s for Christmas or a summer vacation, the Canadian Super Visa offers a great opportunity to stay close to loved ones.
In order to be considered for the program, children or grandchildren of the applicant must send a letter of invitation and meet minimum income standards. Parents and grandparents must then submit the letter along with proof of Canadian medical insurance. The Super Visa insurance must meet the minimum requirements and provide coverage for a minimum of one year from the date of entry to Canada.
For Super Visa insurance coverage, policies must be purchased from a Canadian insurance provider and include health insurance, repatriation, and hospitalization. Coverage must be at least CAD $100,000 and valid for every entry the parent or grandparent makes to Canada. Upon arrival, documentation of Canadian Super Visa insurance is required for entry into the country.
In 2019, the total cost for Super Visa insurance was CAD $1,660 a year per passenger, according to aggregate research. Insurance rates and service availability vary depending on the province or territory. One parent or grandparent, or a pair, can be covered by purchasing separate individual Super Visa insurance plans. Couples traveling together can save money by paying for individual plans separately. According to surveys by InsuranceHotline.com, the average annual policy premium for a couple was CAD $2,839 for one year, providing each person with the required $100,000 coverage and a $1,000 deductible.
If you or your relative are not eligible for the Super Visa program, there are other travel permits and insurance options available for temporary stays of less than six months for those coming from a visa-exempt country. For travelers to Canada, relatives who have a 10-year multiple entry visa allowing them to stay for no more than six months may be eligible for insurance.
The Canada’s Super Visa scheme for parents and grandparents was launched in 2011 and has welcomed over 89,000 participants to Canada as of 2017, with projections for continued participation and success in the near future. While India, China, and Pakistan were the top countries for Super Visas between 2012 and 2017, the program has also been popular among relatives from other countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Iran, and Russia. Overall, the Super Visa has been a successful program for families who want to stay close to their loved ones without necessarily immigrating to Canada.
