Absolutely correct! Its now Super visa of about 2 years validity, and not visiting visa for parents. You need to show enough funds to support them as well as buy private health insurance for your parents. Like Cynmax rightly said you can see more details Here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/supervisa.asp
To apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, you must:
be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada;
be found admissible to Canada; and
meet certain other conditions.
Note: You cannot include dependants in this application. Only your spouse or common-law partner is eligible to accompany you under this provision.
Visa officers consider several factors before deciding if a person is admissible. The person must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of the visit. Among the things that could be considered are:
the person’s ties to the home country;
the purpose of the visit;
the person’s family and financial situation;
the overall economic and political stability of the home country; and
an invitation from a Canadian host.
In addition to being found admissible to Canada, the parent or grandparent must also:
provide a written commitment of financial support from their child or grandchild in Canada who meets a minimum income threshold;
prove that they have bought Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year; and
complete an Immigration Medical Examination.
Visa-Exempt Visitors
You may need a temporary resident visa to visit Canada, depending on your citizenship. However, if you are visa-exempt, you may still benefit from the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa provisions.
