Are you considering bringing your parents or grandparents to Canada for a long stay? You're in the right place! In this blog, we’ll break down two popular options: the Super Visa and the Parent(s) and Grandparent(s) Program (PGP).

The Super Visa is a great choice for those who want their family members to visit for up to 5 years at a time. They can enter multiple times within a 10-year period! Sounds awesome, right?

On the other hand, the PGP allows you to sponsor your parents or grandparents for permanent residency. This means they can live with you in Canada indefinitely—how special!

Let’s clarify some key differences:

• Super Visa: Apply anytime! Typically processed in about 3 months.
• PGP: Requires an invitation to apply, and there’s a long wait—up to 6 years!

To apply for the Super Visa, you'll need to meet specific income requirements and prove that they have health insurance for their stay.

Choosing the right option depends on how long you'd like your parents or grandparents to stay. If it's a short visit, the Super Visa is best. But if you're ready for a permanent family bond, consider PGP!

We hope this helps you make a decision easier. Good luck!
