Supervisa Vs. TRV

[abcabc2020]

Hi,
I was searching online for the main differences between supervisa and TRV and I found that the main difference in CIC website that in the Supervisa you provide 1 year medical insurance and economic and the political situation in your home country should be stable.
These two conditions do not appear on the TRV basic requirements. I am not sure how political situation will affect the supervisa applicants but not the tourism applicants. and how stable the political situation should be?
I am asking this because we would like to apply for our parents a visitor visa. We are not sure if we should apply for supervisa or tourism visa. anyone can advise please?
Our parents currently live in Yemen and as you may know the political situation is not that stable. In anycase, we will have to wait till the political situation calms down. but again we don't know how stable the situation should be in order to be qualified for a supervisa. Please help if you support us applying for a supervisa or a tourism TRV.

thanks in advance!

Well, it is totally up to you which type of Visitor Visa you'd like to apply for. With TRV, your parents are not required to have a medical insurance policy to get the visa approved. However, they are only allowed to stay in Canada for 6 months per visit. Usually such visa is issued for 10 years.

In case with Super Visa, which is also issued for 10 years, your parents are allowed to stay in Canada for up to 2 years per visit. Also applying for a Super Visa requires you to have a health emergency insurance policy that will be valid for 1 year, will cover at least $100,000 worth of insurance benefits as well as it must be purchased from a Canadian insurance company.

Political/economic situation is related in this case since immigration people do not want people to become potential residents here in Canada by using their entry visa if the political/economic conditions are currently unstable in their home country.
