What happens after you apply for a super visa

Your fingerprints and photo (biometrics)

Book your biometrics collection appointment as soon as you can to avoid processing delays.

Processing your super visa application

We’ll check your application to make sure you have all the documents you need.

If it’s incomplete, your application may be refused.

We may also ask you to

• go to an interview with one of our officials
• send more information
• get a medical exam
• get a police certificate

We’ll tell you what to do if you need to do any of these.

We process most applications in a few months or less. Processing times depend on the visa office and on whether you need to take any extra steps (listed above).

Processing times for Chinese

You may need to give biometrics with your application. This processing time doesn’t include the time you need to give biometrics.

Processing Fees: $CAN 100/person

If your application is approved, you will receive a letter with instructions to submit your passport to receive a visa. If you’re from a visa-exempt country, we’ll issue you a letter to give to a border services officer when you arrive in Canada.

If your application is refused, we’ll send you an explanation.
