However, you can avail a Super Visa Insurance from any nearby Insurance provider associated with the government. Let’s look at other major differences between Super Visa Insurance and Travel Insurance in Canada.

 

Ensure All Under One Policy

Super Visa Insurance allows you to provide coverage to both your parents and both your grandparents under a single policy. This provides you an advantage of not filing different applications and clearing their conditions each. As in case of other travel insurance policies, each visitor has to apply for different policies. There are chances where a few applicants can be eligible for cheaper insurances compared to others due to specific tenures and plans. But in case of Super Visa Insurance, a parent can visit on a particular month and the other parent on another month and still can be covered by the same policy.

 

Application

While in case of other travel insurance policies, the visitor is the applicant. Under Super Visa Insurance, the visitors have an option for multiple visits to Canada within the same policy.

 

Eligibility

The applicant, who is the host has to clear certain requirements such as a minimum income level depending upon the number of dependents in Canada and the number of visitors. Also, the visitors are required to clear a requirement of having a positive status in their host country and are fully intending to return back. In case of travel insurance, no such requirements are needed.

 

Timing

Also, the visitors have to purchase a Medical Insurance with a validity up to one year from a Canadian Insurer providing a coverage of $100,000. While when it comes to opting for a general Travel Insurance, it can be availed at any time, even after arriving in Canada.

 

Citizenship

Under Super Visa Insurance it is mandatory for the host i.e, the applicant to be a citizen of Canada.
