加拿大的Super Visa是一种不同于普通签证的超级签证，那么，让我们一起看看加拿大超级签证到底是什么，而它和普通的探亲签证又有什么区别吧!

　　1、什么是super visa?

　　Super visa是相对于普通的visitor visa来说的，加拿大的visitor visa即短期访问签证，访问目的可以是探亲，旅游，商务访问，短期学习等。普通的加拿大访问签证持有人每次停留在加拿大的时间不能超过6个月，而super visa 的持有人最长可以在加拿大停留2年，签证有效期最长可达10年，在签证有效期之内可以多次往返加拿大。于是，相较于普通访问签证更长的在加拿大停留的时间，让这个签证变的super起来。

　　2、我可以申请super visa吗?

　　目前只有加拿大公民或是永久居民的父母以及祖父母可以申请。比如，王女士在2022年刚刚获得了加拿大永久居民身份，那么她在中国的爸爸妈妈和爷爷奶奶或是姥姥姥爷都可以提交super visa的申请。

　　以下是移民局的具体要求：

　　Be eligible for a super visa, you must:

　　be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada

　　have a signed letter from your child or grandchild who invites you to Canada that includes:

　　a promise of financial support for the length of your visit

　　the list and number of people in the household of this person

　　a copy of this person’s Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document

　　have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is:

　　valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry

　　at least $100,000 coverage

　　have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)

　　You must also:

　　apply for a super visa from outside Canada

　　be allowed to enter Canada

　　take an immigration medical exam

　　meet certain other conditions

　　super visa申请时有哪些特殊要求

　　申请人必须在加拿大境外

　　购买至少一年的加拿大医疗保险

　　完成加拿大移民局要求的体检

　　加拿大的子女或是孙子孙女必须提供可以证明自己在加拿大收入的相关材料

　　目前，加拿大还有一个 Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP)，是加拿大政府为了让在加拿大境外的公民和永久居民的父母、祖父母来加拿大与亲人团聚而推出的一个项目。但是需要先参与移民局的抽签，抽中了才能提交申请，并且关于抽签系统是否公平的争议也一直存在。(In recent years, IRCC has held a lottery to decide who gets to apply for the PGP. Critics say the lottery system is unfair, as those who have just entered the pool of candidates may be picked over those who have been waiting for years.

　　)但是相较于这个项目来说，super visa的申请门槛会轻松的多，并且审理周期更快。根据移民局官方数据，PGP申请可能需要32个月的审核时间，而super visa 的审理周期大多数会在100天左右。(There is no lottery to get a Super Visa, and therefore it offers greater certainty to families. It takes less time to get a Super Visa compared to a PGP. Super Visa processing can take months whereas PGP processing can take years. IRCC currently has a backlog in applications. The government’s website is saying PGP application can take 32 months to process. Super Visa applications are being processed at different rates depending on where the applicant is applying from, but applications from many countries are reportedly taking about 100 days.)

　　因此，符合要求的申请人可以先申请super visa来加拿大和亲人团聚。
