Super Visa Insurance

Canada Immigration and Citizenship introduced a new Visa for Family Reunification on December 1st 2011, which is called “SUPER VISA” under which primary requirement is to buy a medical insurance from Canadian Insurance Company for an applicant and send it along with an application. It comes as a golden opportunity for Family Reunion for the immigrants and the Canadian Citizens. Super Visa is a multi entry Visa with a validity of 10 years.
