The first Canadian Parent and Grandparent Super Visa has been issued at the Canadian mission in Manila on December 14, 2011.
"We've issued the first of the Super Visas in just two weeks and we remain committed to reuniting families through the Super Visa in a timely manner" Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney said.
This visa allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 24 months without the need to renew status. This makes them enjoy the company of their loved ones for a longer period of time.
