Z  

How long does super visa insurance need to be valid?

Your policy must be valid for at least one full year (365 days) from your date of entry into Canada, with no gaps in coverage during your stay. If your parent or grandparent’s visit extends beyond a year, the policy needs to be renewed before it expires.

Z  

What does super visa insurance need to cover?

The policy must cover emergency health care, hospitalization, and repatriation. Danforth Insurance plans meet these requirements and can include add-ons like coverage for stable pre-existing conditions.

Z  

Can I buy super visa insurance from a foreign insurance company?

Since June 2022, IRCC has allowed super visa insurance from approved foreign insurers, as long as the insurer is authorized by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). That said, most applicants still choose a Canadian-licensed insurer to avoid any risk of the policy being questioned. All the plans we offer at Danforth Insurance meet IRCC’s insurer eligibility rules.

Z  

Does super visa insurance cover pre-existing medical conditions?

Yes, in many cases. Coverage for stable pre-existing conditions is available, typically once the condition has been stable for a defined period (commonly 90–180 days, depending on the insurer). Danforth Insurance offers plans specifically designed for seniors with pre-existing conditions — this is one of the most common questions we get from families applying for a parent or grandparent’s super visa. 

Z  

How much does super visa insurance cost?

Cost depends on the applicant’s age, health history, coverage amount, and deductible chosen. As a general guide, older applicants and those without a deductible option will pay more. Danforth Insurance offers a flexible monthly payment option and multiple deductible levels to help lower the premium. Please click here to take super visa insurance quote.

Do I need to pay for the full policy before submitting my super visa application?

IRCC requires proof that the premium has been paid — either in full, or through a monthly payment plan with an initial deposit. A quote alone is not accepted. Danforth Insurance offers monthly payment plans (typically a two-month premium deposit plus a small fee) so you don’t have to pay the full annual premium upfront. 

Z  

What happens if my parent’s super visa application is refused?

At Danforth Insurance, if the visa is not granted for any reason before your policy’s effective date, you’ll receive a 100% refund. 

Z  

What documents do I need to show proof of super visa insurance?

Your policy documents need to show the applicant’s full name matching the visa application, the effective and expiry dates, the coverage amount ($100,000 minimum), confirmation that the premium is paid, and the insurance company’s name and contact information. Danforth Insurance provides all of this documentation immediately after purchase, ready to submit with your application.
