Canada Waives Super Visa and Biometrics Fees for Eligible Parents and Grandparents

Canada has waived the Super Visa application and biometrics fees for visa-exempt parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, reducing costs for eligible families seeking extended visits. The waiver applies only to nationals from visa-exempt countries, who must obtain an eTA before traveling. The Super Visa normally carries a $100 multiple-entry fee and an $85 biometrics charge, but these are not collected for qualifying applicants. Approved visa-exempt applicants receive a letter confirming their status, which they must present to border services officers upon arrival in Canada. The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for extended periods without frequent renewals, and it is a multiple-entry permit. Applicants in the fee-paying category must provide a valid email, printer access, and a payment method like a credit card or Debit Mastercard.
