If you're planning to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada under the Super Visa program, one of the first questions that comes up is: how much does insurance cost?
Super Visa insurance is mandatory, but the pricing can vary significantly depending on several factors. In this guide, we’ll break down the costs, what affects them, and how you can choose the best plan without overspending.
Average Cost of Super Visa Insurance in 2026
The cost of Super Visa insurance typically ranges between:
$80 to $250 per month
$1,000 to $3,000 per year
These are estimated ranges and can vary depending on the applicant’s profile and coverage options.
Key Factors That Affect Insurance Cost
Understanding what drives the price can help you make smarter decisions.
1. Age of the Applicant
Age is the biggest factor. Older applicants usually pay higher premiums because of increased health risks.
2. Coverage Amount
Minimum required coverage is $100,000, but many people opt for:
$150,000
$300,000
Higher coverage = higher premium, but better protection.
3. Deductible Selection
A deductible is the amount you pay before insurance kicks in.
Higher deductible → Lower premium
Lower deductible → Higher premium
Choosing the right balance is key.
4. Medical History
Pre-existing conditions can significantly increase the cost, especially if they require coverage.
5. Duration of Stay
Longer stays (e.g., 1 year) naturally cost more than shorter durations.
