Your relatives are eligible for an extended stay in Canada, without becoming permanent residents. This can be done by applying for the extended stay Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or the Super Visa.

– Be a permanent resident or Canadian citizen

3 persons | $ 42,100 |
4 persons | $ 51,128 |
5 persons | $ 57,988 |
6 persons | $ 65,400 |
7 persons | $ 72,814 |
