What Is a Parent & Grandparent Visitor Visa?

The Parent & Grandparent Visitor Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada temporarily. This visa is suitable for short-term family visits and is issued under standard visitor visa conditions.
Unlike the Super Visa, this option is intended for shorter stays and does not require mandatory long-term medical insurance coverage.

Applicable to individuals whose children or grandchildren legally reside in Canada as citizens or permanent residents.
  • Planning a Short-Term Family Visit
Suitable for parents or grandparents visiting Canada for family gatherings or personal visits.
