Frequently Asked Questions
Can we pursue both a Super Visa and PGP sponsorship?+
Yes — many families use a Super Visa as an interim solution while also submitting interest to sponsor under PGP for a future intake.
Does holding a Super Visa affect PGP eligibility?+
No — the two are separate processes, and having a Super Visa doesn't disqualify a sponsor from also pursuing PGP sponsorship.

Add a side-by-side explanation: the Super Visa is a temporary-visit route, while the Parents and Grandparents Program is a permanent-residence sponsorship route with its own intake and eligibility process. Families may need to plan the two options separately.
A place to buildThe destination is important, but a well-supported route makes the next step clearer.
Super Visa vs. PGP
Applicant’s travel purpose, financial support and reasons to leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay.

Make the page more useful by separating the temporary-visit purpose from permanent-residence sponsorship. Explain that the applicant must satisfy the temporary-resident assessment while also meeting the program’s family, medical-insurance and host-document requirements under the current rules.
