Super Visa insurance is a mandatory health insurance requirement for applicants of the Super Visa program in Canada. The Super Visa is a specialized visa that permits parents and grandparents (only) of Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents to visit and reside in Canada for extended periods—up to seven years at a time without the need for status renewal.
Healthcare in Canada is publicly funded, but visitors are not eligible for free healthcare benefits.
The Canadian government requires Super Visa Insurance to:
For Super Visa Insurance, the minimum coverage requirement is $100,000. Higher coverage options are available up to $1,000,000.
Annual and Monthly Plans are available for Super Visa Insurance.
Deductibles are the amount of money the policyholder agrees to pay out-of-pocket before the Super Visa Insurance coverage begins. They range from $0 to $10,000. Choosing a higher deductible typically results in lower premium costs, but it also means that you will have to cover more expenses yourself in the event of an insurance claim. Higher deductible options may qualify you for discounts of up to 45%.
When selecting a deductible option, it is important to strike a balance between affordability and the level of risk you are comfortable accepting. Consulting with experts, such as Shreeram Bhimsariya, can assist you in making informed decisions that are tailored to your financial situation and needs.
Additionally, you may be eligible for a 5% discount if you obtain insurance coverage for both parents.
Certain insurance providers offer partial refunds even if a claim has been filed. Please discuss this option with Shreeram Bhimsariya when purchasing the policy.
By opting for comprehensive Super Visa Insurance with coverage for pre-existing conditions, applicants can travel with confidence, knowing they are protected against unforeseen health-related expenses during their visit to Canada.

• Health Condition: Pre-existing medical conditions may increase the cost or require additional coverage.
• Policy Duration: Longer policies cost more.
• Coverage Amount: While $100,000 is the minimum, many families choose higher coverage (up to $1 Million) for extra protection.
Some Super Visa Insurance plans include coverage for trips outside Canada (e.g., the U.S.), as long as the majority of the trip is spent in Canada. Check with your provider for details.
If you overstay and your insurance expires, you will not be covered for medical expenses, leaving you financially liable. Ensure you extend both your visa and insurance on time.
