An Estimate on Super Visa Application

Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent resident immigrants applying for a visa usually have one major concern: the amount of money they are likely to spend on processing fees and other Super Visa requirements.

Applicants should be aware that the processing fees set by the visa offices are in addition to the Super Visa insurance, which must be purchased separately. The latter is the main obstacle for most visa applicants worldwide.

Medical Insurance Costs

The cost of super visa insurance depends on the insurance policy you choose. There are many Canadian insurance companies that offer specialized policies for super visa applicants. It is best to choose a policy that is not only affordable but also has favorable terms and conditions, such as

1. A refund if the visa application is denied,

2. authorization to interrupt the trip, which means that the policy remains valid after each return to Canada,

3. Adequate coverage for each type of emergency medical service.

Medical insurance must be paid in full at the time of purchase, even before submitting an application to the visa office. Needless to say, it is important to start planning for the super visa application as soon as possible, as it can take years for the insurance to be paid in full.

As far as the cost of insurance is concerned, the key point to keep in mind is that the price increases with age. The price may also increase if a client has a pre-existing medical condition. Here is a table of estimated costs by age group for a policy offering $100,000 in coverage:
