More Flexibility for Family Visits
Canada is making it easier for parents and grandparents to visit their loved ones. The Super Visa, which allows extended stays of up to five years per visit, now has more flexible health insurance options.
What’s New?
Before, applicants had to buy health insurance only from Canadian providers. Now, they can purchase insurance from approved foreign companies, provided they are authorized by Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).
What You Need to Know
- The insurance provider must be on OSFI’s approved list.
- The policy must cover accident and sickness insurance.
- Valid insurance is required for every entry into Canada.
Why It Matters
This change gives families more insurance options and lower costs, making it easier to reunite with loved ones while ensuring proper health coverage.
