What you need
Super Visa insurance requirements
For a Super Visa application, IRCC asks for private medical insurance that:
- is valid for at least one year from the date of entry,
- provides at least $100,000 of emergency coverage — health care, hospitalization and repatriation,
- has been paid (in full, or in instalments with a deposit, where the insurer allows).
Rules can change — always confirm on IRCC's Super Visa page. Read our full requirements guide.
Choosing a plan
What to compare
- Pre-existing conditions — is a stable condition covered, and for how long must it be stable?
- Deductible — a higher deductible lowers the price but means you pay more per claim.
- Side trips — are short trips outside Canada covered?
- Refunds — what happens if the visa is refused or your parents return early?
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much coverage does a Super Visa need?
IRCC requires at least $100,000 of emergency coverage, valid for at least one year from the date of entry. Many families choose more for extra peace of mind.
Can my parents’ pre-existing conditions be covered?

Can I pay monthly?
Several insurers offer monthly payment options for Super Visa plans. Where available, the monthly price is shown on the quote.
What if the Super Visa is refused?
Most insurers refund the premium if the visa is refused and you send proof before the policy starts. See the "Refunds" tab in each plan overview.
How do I get the insurance documents for the application?
After you buy, the insurer issues a confirmation of coverage you can submit with the Super Visa application. We can help you check it meets the requirements.
