Policies start from $85/month for applicants under 60, and we compare Manulife, GMS, Travelance, TuGo, Destination & more.
The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is a multi-entry visitor visa that lets your parents or grandparents stay in Canada for up to five years per visit, with the option to renew for another two years without leaving the country. To qualify, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) requires every Super Visa applicant to hold valid medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company — and those requirements changed in October 2022 when Canada opened the program to approved foreign insurers as well.
Without proof of an active, paid-in-full policy that meets every federal requirement, Super Visa applications are refused. Wings Travels handles the entire insurance side of that application for Calgary families — quoting, comparing carriers, issuing the certificate of insurance and submitting documentation in a format IRCC accepts.
Your premium depends on the applicant's age, pre-existing medical conditions, deductible, and coverage amount. Below are typical 2026 monthly rates Calgary clients pay through Wings Travels for a standard $100,000 policy, 365-day term, $0 deductible, no pre-existing conditions.
| Applicant age | $100K coverage (monthly) | $150K coverage (monthly) |
|---|---|---|
| 40 – 54 | from $85 | from $110 |
| 55 – 59 | from $110 | from $140 |
| 60 – 64 | from $140 | from $175 |
| 65 – 69 | from $170 | from $210 |
| 70 – 74 | from $215 | from $265 |
| 75 – 79 | from $270 | from $330 |
| 80 – 84 | from $345 | from $420 |
Rates above are illustrative 2026 averages. Exact pricing depends on medical questionnaire answers. Pre-existing conditions and higher deductibles can lower these by 15–30%.

FAQ
Questions Calgary families ask us every week — with straight answers.
No single company is "best" for everyone. For applicants under 60 with no pre-existing conditions, GMS and Travelance usually have the lowest premiums. For applicants over 65 or with diabetes/hypertension, Manulife and TuGo typically provide broader pre-existing condition coverage. Wings Travels compares all major carriers in one call so you can see which is cheapest for your specific parent.
For a standard $100,000 policy with no pre-existing conditions, Calgary families typically pay between $85/month (age 40–54) and $345/month (age 80–84). Older applicants or those with pre-existing conditions will pay more. Monthly-pay plans are roughly 5–10% more expensive than paying the year up front.
Yes. IRCC requires every Super Visa applicant to have at least $100,000 CAD in emergency medical coverage valid for a full year from a Canadian or Minister-approved foreign insurer. Applications without valid, paid-in-full insurance are refused.
TD Insurance does not currently offer a stand-alone Super Visa product. Calgary families usually buy Super Visa insurance from specialist carriers (Manulife, GMS, Travelance, TuGo, Destination), which is what Wings Travels brokers.
Most carriers allow partial refunds if your parent returns home before the policy expires, provided no claim has been made. The refund is prorated and a small administrative fee (usually $25–$50) may apply. Always ask for the carrier's specific cancellation terms before purchasing.

Just two things to get an accurate quote: the applicant's date of birth and a list of any current medications or chronic conditions. For the final policy we'll also need full name as on passport, Canadian address where they'll be staying, and the planned arrival date.
