The Super Visa lets parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents stay for up to five years at a time. The one non-negotiable condition: the visitor must arrive with private medical insurance of at least $100,000, valid for one year from entry, covering healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation.
Edmonton's diverse, fast-growing communities — many newcomer families settle here through Alberta's nominee programs — make parent and grandparent reunification common.
