Из-за того, что спонсорство сейчас длится несколько лет канадское правительство придумало давать родителям и дедушкам-бабушкам мульти-визы на 10 лет и по ним можно будет до 2 лет без продления находится:The government is introducing the new “Parent and Grandparent Super Visa,” which will be valid for up to 10 years. The multiple-entry visa will allow an applicant to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status. The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa will come into effect on December 1, 2011, and CIC will be able to issue the visas, on average, within eight weeks of the application. This means that instead of waiting for eight years, a parent or a grandparent can come to Canada within eight weeks. Parent and Grandparent Super Visa applicants will be required to obtain private Canadian health-care insurance for their stay in Canada.Остальные детали тут:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2011/2011-11-04.asp
