The Canadian government offers a variety of visa categories to migrants who wish to visit or settle in Canada. In addition to this, it also considers people who want to visit the country for a prolonged period and have someone close already a permanent resident of Canada. This includes parents and grandparents who have their children/grandchildren living in Canada as authorized citizens/permanent residents. The Super Visa category allows parents and grandparents of Canadian permanent residents to stay in Canada for 2 years and enter Canada multiple times under these circumstances for up to 10 years.
