Previously, relatives were required to pay for the entire cost of super visa insurance upfront. This could be a financial burden for some families and may have deterred them from applying for the super visa. However, the Canadian government has now allowed relatives to pay for super visa insurance in installments, making it more accessible for families who want to bring their loved ones to Canada.

The super visa is a temporary resident permit that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. It is a popular option for families who want to stay together for extended periods of time, but it requires the applicant to have medical insurance coverage for the duration of their stay in Canada.

The change to allow for installment payments of super visa insurance is a positive step that will make it easier for families to bring their loved ones to Canada. It will also help to encourage more people to apply for the super visa and strengthen the ties between Canadian families and their loved ones abroad.
