Canada is extending the length of time parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents can stay in the country under its super visa program.

In a statement released on June 7, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said a series of changes to its super visa program will come into force on July 4, including extending the length of stay for super visa holders to 5 years per entry into Canada.
