Super Visa Insurance after 1st Year

[pavel2017]

Hi - According to CIC Website it says :
have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is:

• valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry
• at least $100,000 coverage
• have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)

Does that mean that insurance is not required after year 1, if the stay is continuous? Insurance is not mandatory for year 2?

You have to renew your insurance if your parents continue to stay after 1 year.

It is a requirement of the Supervisa.

Even if it’s not posted why would you want to take a chance on presumably a family member getting sick , ending up in the hospital and being stuck with a huge medical bill if they didn’t have medical insurance? Seriously. Think about it .
It doesn’t have to be in print , it’s common sense

Supervisa is a privilege with comes with one major responsibility which is maintaining supervisa insurance. If your parents are caught without supervisa insurance they could be denied another stay. You could also end up with a huge medical bill. Even with 100k coverage people still end up with bills.

Hi @pavel2017 , I came here with the same question. Were you able to find an official answer? Thanks.

The official answer is yes you must take out a new policy every year. The biggest requirement of a supervisa holder is to have supervisa insurance. Having Supervisa insurance for a minimum of 100k of coverage is listed in every requirement for supervisa holders. The insurance companies only sell supervisa insurance in increments of 1 year because a lot can happen to the health of mostly seniors in 1 year. If there has been large claims submitted during one year or there has been a significant change in health the chances of getting approved for another year of supervisa insurance decreases.

One of the main condition of the Super Visa is that they will maintain an emergency insurance coverage as long as they are in Canada on a Super Visa. So they have to renew the policy after the expiry.
