Yes, you can apply from within Canada but will need to provide the proof of medical insurance for a year, as well as other required documents.

Absolutely possible to do that. There will be the same requirements for both insider/outsider application. The only thing is that your medical insurance, which you will need to buy, will have a certain waiting period, because the applicant is already in Canada.

that is good news.
would you know if my parents would be able to leave the country and come back to canada using super visa?
especially if super visa was issued from inside the country as an extension to their existing visa?

thanks

Super Visa is a separate program, not an extension, that grants your parents/grandparents a multi-entry visa as well as you can stay in Canada for up to two years in row under the SV.

hi,

can anyone please tell the validity of the super visa after it is issued? Does it follow the same principle as PR visa i.e. expiry of 12 months after medical examination.

Thanks in advance.

Super Visa is issued and valid for 10 years and allows parents/grandparents of a Canadian PR/Citizen to stay for up two 2 consecutive years on a Canadian soil.

For my parents to be eligible for Super Visa do they need to have PR application in process?
Or me being a canadian citizen is good enough for them to apply for Super visa?

thanks

Your parents do not have to be Canadian PRs. It is just you who must be either a PR or a Citizen. So you got nothing to worry about.
