HELP! Parents got 5 year Multiple-Entry Visa Category V-1

[hazelnut]

Need advice from anyone please. I am a permanent resident here in Canada, and since we do not have any relatives here to help look after my son when both my husband and I are working, I applied for my parents to come here. I indicated super visa for parents/grandparents on the application form we submitted but since a few people has told me that for us not to be required of medical insurance immediately and for faster processing, better have them apply for a max of 6-month stay or below. So I did. And now their visa came out with Multiple Entry valid for 5 years under V-1 Category. Is this super visa already? I am confused... How long can they stay then? I have not bought their tickets yet. Can I have them stay for about a year or 2? What should we do next? PLease advice... Anything will be much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hello Hazelnut ... no V1 is not a super visa ... it is a visitors visa and your parents can only stay a maximum of 6 months upon entry to Canada. Hope this helps

Thanks @rowdboat! Can I ask as well, maybe you or anybody in this forum can advice on what my next best step will be to make the duration or stay for my parents here longer or better if I can have inputs on how to make them stay permanently after I bring them over. Any inputs will really help. Thank you!
