Super Visa insurance for Mississauga families
Many Mississauga families sponsor parents and grandparents who land at Pearson — sometimes weeks after the application goes in. Here is what the insurance costs, what IRCC requires, and the timing that actually matters.
The short answer
Super Visa insurance costs Mississauga families the same as anywhere in Ontario — pricing is set province-wide, not by city. Expect roughly $1,000 to $6,000+ per year for the required $100,000 of emergency medical coverage: about $1,000–$1,500 a year at ages 40–54, rising to $4,000–$6,000+ at 75 and over, with deductible and medical history accounting for the rest.
Timing matters more than location. Proof of insurance goes in with the Super Visa application, and the policy start date is set to the expected arrival date at Pearson. Buy while your parent is still healthy and at home — a medication change in the weeks before departure can restart an insurer's stability period and affect coverage for a pre-existing condition.
| Applicant age | Typical annual premium ($100K coverage) |
|---|---|
| 40–54 | $1,000 – $1,500 |
| 55–59 | $1,200 – $2,000 |
| 60–64 | $1,500 – $2,800 |
| 65–69 | $2,000 – $3,800 |
| 70–74 | $2,800 – $5,000+ |
| 75+ | $4,000 – $6,000+ |

The four IRCC requirements
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada sets four conditions the policy must meet. A plan that misses even one can sink the application — check these before comparing prices:
- At least $100,000 in emergency medical coverage.
- Valid for a minimum of 365 days from the date of entry into Canada.
- From a Canadian insurer or an IRCC-designated foreign insurer.
- Covering emergency healthcare, hospitalization and repatriation — with proof submitted alongside the application.
Requirements are set by IRCC and can change — confirm the current rules at canada.ca before applying.
Monthly payments, refunds, and pre-existing conditions
Can we pay monthly?
Yes. Several Canadian insurers offer monthly payment for Super Visa policies — typically an initial deposit followed by monthly instalments. The yearly total is usually higher than paying annually because of policy fees. How monthly Super Visa payments work.
What if the visa is refused?
Most insurers refund the premium in full if the visa is refused before the policy's effective date, provided no claim was made. See the refund guide — and confirm the exact wording before you buy.
What about blood pressure, diabetes, or a heart condition?
Stable pre-existing conditions can usually be covered after a stability period of typically 90–180 days. Insurers define "stable" differently, so the cheapest headline quote is rarely the best policy for a parent with a medical history — compare the wording, not just the price.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Super Visa insurance cost in Mississauga?
Same as anywhere in Ontario — roughly $1,000–$6,000+ per year for the required $100,000 of coverage, depending on age, deductible and medical history. Pricing is province-wide, not city-based.
Should we buy before or after our parent lands at Pearson?
Before. Proof of insurance is required with the application, and buying early protects pre-existing condition coverage — a medication change close to departure can restart the stability clock.
Can we pay monthly?
Yes, several insurers offer monthly plans. They cost more over the year than annual payment, so treat them as a cash-flow option. Monthly payment details.
