  On June 7, local time in Canada, the Canadian federal government announced that new regulations for the Super Visa will take effect on July 4, extending the duration of each entry from 2 years to 5 years, allowing for a maximum stay of up to 7 years with extensions, and enabling the purchase of domestic health insurance, greatly facilitating immigration and family reunification.

  The new policy will take effect on July 4, 2022:

 

  The duration of stay for Super Visa holders upon each entry to Canada is extended to 5 years.

 

  Individuals holding a Super Visa can apply to extend their stay in Canada for up to 2 years. This means that Super Visa holders can now stay in Canada for up to 7 consecutive years.

 

  The Minister of Immigration has designated non-Canadian health insurance companies to provide insurance for Super Visa applicants. This means that Chinese applicants can also qualify by purchasing insurance in China. Currently, only Canadian insurance providers can offer the health insurance that Super Visa applicants must have. Information about eligible non-Canadian health insurance companies will be published later on the Immigration Department's official website.

 

  Under existing regulations, Super Visa holders can stay in Canada for a maximum of 2 years, with the entire visa valid for 10 years, allowing for multiple entries. The Super Visa program was launched in 2011, allowing the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit the country for extended periods. Over the years, the Super Visa has been a popular and viable option for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their parents and grandparents in Canada. Each year, the Canadian Immigration Department issues approximately 17,000 Super Visas.

 

  The Canadian Minister of Immigration stated: "Family is the core of Canadian society, and the improvements to the Super Visa program allow family members to reunite in Canada for longer periods, which contributes to the daily success of Canadian citizens and permanent residents and their contributions to society, while providing their parents and grandparents with valuable opportunities to spend time with family in Canada."

 

  The Canadian Minister of Public Safety also stated: "Family reunification is a priority for our government and contributes to our success and strength as a nation—especially as we strive to recover from the pandemic and reconnect with our loved ones. I want to thank the staff of the Canada Border Services Agency for their efforts in helping Canadian citizens and permanent residents reunite with their families while keeping our borders secure."

 

  In summary, this significant reform of the Super Visa is excellent news for Chinese Canadians wishing to reunite with their parents. Canada, a traditional immigration country, continues to attract numerous investors to immigrate and settle here due to its comprehensive social welfare, leading educational quality, strong social inclusivity, safe social environment, and beautiful world-class natural scenery.

 

  The Canadian Immigration Department is also continuously introducing various favorable immigration policies aimed at attracting more individuals to immigrate to Canada. For those considering immigration, now is the golden opportunity to immigrate to Canada. If you encounter a suitable immigration program, be sure to seize the opportunity. From 2022 to 2024, Canada plans to accept over 1.3 million immigrants, with a large number of immigration quotas to accommodate applicants from different backgrounds. Good opportunities are rare, so those interested in immigrating to Canada should act quickly!

 

  Currently, among the various types of immigration programs in Canada, employer-sponsored immigration has gained significant popularity among investors. Among them, the Canadian skilled worker employer-sponsored immigration offers many advantages such as low thresholds, low costs, and fast approvals, providing investors with a convenient pathway to immigrate to Canada, attracting considerable attention!
