Unlike a regular visitor visa (which only grants status for up to 6 months), the Super Visa allows for long-term visits, reducing the stress and hassle of regular reapplications.
When you arrive at the port of entry in Canada, a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer determines your length of stay. If you wish to extend your stay while in Canada, you must submit an application for extension.
