Super Visa Insurance in Edmonton: Cover Your Parents' Stay in Canada
Super visa insurance in Edmonton is the private medical policy that parents and grandparents must buy before Canada issues their super visa. It needs at least $100,000 in emergency coverage, one full year of validity from the day they enter the country, and cover for health care, hospitalization and repatriation.

Why do Edmonton families need super visa insurance?
The super visa allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to five years per visit. Visitors on this visa are generally not covered by Alberta’s public health plan, so a sudden illness or accident could lead to large hospital bills.
The policy protects your family from that risk. It pays for emergency treatment, hospital stays and ambulance rides, and it covers the cost of returning your parent home if that becomes necessary. For IRCC, it is also proof that your parents will not depend on the public system.
Which policy details will IRCC check?
A visa officer will accept a policy only if it meets every point below.
- At least $100,000 in emergency medical coverage
- Validity of one year or more from the date of entry into Canada
- Cover for health care, hospitalization and repatriation
- An eligible insurer, meaning a Canadian company or a foreign insurer authorized by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI)
- Proof of payment included with the application
We confirm these details with you before you buy, so nothing is missed at the last minute.
How does Punjab Insurance Calgary help Edmonton families?
You do not need to be in Calgary to work with us. Most of the process happens online and by phone, and our advisors explain each step in plain language.
Monthly payment plans : Spread the premium across the year instead of paying it all upfront. Read more on our monthly plans page.

Flexible start dates : Change the policy start date as many times as you need before it takes effect.
What affects the price of parent super visa insurance in Edmonton?
There is no single price, because insurers set each premium from the details of the applicant. These factors matter most:
- Age of each parent or grandparent
- Health history and any pre-existing conditions
- Coverage amount and deductible
- Single policy versus a couple’s policy
- Annual payment versus monthly payments
Families often lower the premium by choosing a higher deductible, comparing several insurers and buying early. A cheaper plan is only a good deal if it still covers what your parents are likely to need, so check exclusions before you decide. Our quotes page shows options for your parents’ ages.
What if your parents have existing health conditions?
Often they can. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol or asthma may be covered when they are stable. Each insurer defines stable differently, and some plans leave out certain conditions or charge more for them.
Share your parents' health details early. We will point you to plans that accept their situation so the coverage works when it is needed.
What are the steps to buy a policy?
- Request a quote with your parents’ ages, travel dates and health details.
- Compare plans, deductibles and payment options.
- Choose the policy that fits your family.
- Apply online and pay in full or monthly.
- Receive your policy documents and proof of payment by email, ready to upload with the visa application.
