Super Visa – Put an end to homesickness

Updated: Jan 25, 2023

According to 2019 pre-pandemic statistics Canada has the eighth largest immigrant population in the world and about 21% population of Canada comprises foreign-born people. Canada welcomes immigrants in four categories (1) skilled workers, (2) refugees, (3) immigrants based on humanitarian reasons, and (4) families of immigrants or citizens.

People from all over the world move to Canada in search of career growth opportunities but along with that, they bring homesickness. After settling down in Canada almost every immigrant family wants to bring their loved ones like parents/grandparents here.

Canadian government understands the importance of family and wants to ensure that the immigrants who are their future citizens live a quality life with families. Canadian immigrants can avail one of two options to bring their family members in Canada (1) immigration and (2) super visa for parents and grandparents. Let’s review some pros and cons of these options:
