Another advantage of a Super Visa is that a visitor to Canada does not have to apply for another visa after six months and pay a new set of fees to extend their stay and spend more time with their loved ones. Waiting times for visa grants are shorter as well which is a big advantage for many parents/grandparents who wish to see their loved ones at the earlier.

This proof is attached with the visa application form when it is sent to the embassy for processing.
