Visiting visa and super visa What we said above is a six-month visiting visa. In addition, Canada also provides a super visa for those who want to visit relatives in Canada, with a longer term but higher application conditions.
The longest period of validity for visiting relatives in Canada is 10 year, but it may not be 10 year. It depends on the validity of your passport. If your current passport is only five years, the visa you are applying for now is actually only five years, and the visa will expire with the expiration of your passport. The validity period of the super visa is really 10 year. Even if the passport expires, the visa is still valid after the new passport is renewed.
The duration of each entry visa is 1-6 months; The validity period of the super visa is 10 year, and the duration of each entry stay is no more than 2 years.
To apply for a visit visa, you only need an invitation letter from relatives and friends in Canada and the identity certificate of the inviter to prepare the application, while the requirements for applying for a super visa in Canada are more stringent:
The children or grandchildren of the applicant studying or working in Canada must meet the minimum income standard in Canada.
Applicants must provide written proof to ensure that your children or grandchildren studying or working in Canada can give you enough financial support.
Applicants must have Canadian citizen medical insurance for at least one year, which can be used for medical treatment and hospitalization in Canada, and can be transferred to China for treatment if necessary.
Applicants must pass a medical examination.
The applicant has no criminal record
