The Canadian government has a popular visa program that enables parents and grandparents of Canadian residents to visit the country for more than 6 months at a time, which is the duration of a visitor’s visa validity.
The super visa lasts for 10 years and allows multiple entries into the country with each stay lasting up to 2 years.
What is super visa insurance?
To get your super visa approved, you must obtain medical insurance from a Canadian insurance provider that covers you for at least one year from the day you enter Canada. This is what super visa insurance is. It is essentially put in place by the government to make sure you won’t be a financial burden to the healthcare system which is completely publicly funded.
This insurance will protect you during your trip so that you don’t have to worry about emergencies and medical costs.
How much does super visa insurance cost?
Similar to any health insurance, the total cost will vary depending on your age, pre-existing medical condition, and what deductible you want. The following are a few ranges of insurance cost estimates for a one-year policy with $100,000 of coverage and between zero to $1000 deductible.
-People in their mid-forties with no pre-existing medical conditions are expected to pay between $800 and $1800.
-A couple in their mid-forties are expected to pay somewhere between $1600 to $3600.
-People in their mid-seventies with no pre-existing medical conditions might have to pay between $1700 and $4600.
-These prices could go drastically high if the applicant has pre-existing medical conditions. The cheapest one in that case for someone in their early 70s would be around $2200.

These prices are clearly not insubstantial, and if you are looking for ways to finance your super visa insurance, there are insurers that offer monthly repayment options rather than the whole premium being upfront.
