Importance Of Getting Insured Before Travelling To Canada


Posted November 29, 2021 by travelanceca14

Getting medical insurance for visitors to Canada is essential for their super visa approval. Meeting the requirements can allow you to live with your family in Canada for up to 2 years at a time.

 
The Canadian government introduced the Super Visa to manage the backlog of applicants from travellers who wanted to stay in Canada for an extended period than is permitted by a visitor’s visa. The Super Visa allows travellers to stay in the country for up to 2 years at a time without having to renew it. The visa can remain valid for up to 10 years.

Compared to a regular visitor’s visa which lets visa holders stay in the country for a duration of 6 months, a super visa allows extended stays, which make them so popular among people who want to remain close to their families in Canada, without having to move permanently. In fact, the visa is specifically designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Super visa application requirements
-To be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
-To have a signed letter of invitation from the Canadian resident that includes:
-A promise of financial support for the duration of the visit
-A list of people in their household
-Proof of income that must meet the minimum quota
-Obtain medical insurance from a Canadian firm that is:
-Valid for at least a year from the date of entry
-Have at least $100,000 in coverage
-And has been paid off (quotes aren’t accepted)

Proof of funds
The Canadian resident who will host the travellers is required to produce documents that prove his household meets the minimum necessary income threshold. The following documents can be used as proof of funds:
-Notice of Assessment (NOA)
-T4/T1 for the most recent tax year
-Employment letter including the offer letter
-Employment insurance stubs
-Pay stubs
-Bank statements

Getting appropriate medical insurance is essential for getting super visas approved. This insurance provides a level of protection to the visa holders so that they can pay for healthcare in Canada. This ensures that the visitors can spend time with their families without having to worry about finances in case of an emergency.
