Overview
IRCC permits a qualifying Super Visa policy to be paid in full or through instalments with a deposit. A quote alone is not accepted — the applicant must have proof of an issued policy that meets every Super Visa insurance requirement.
The insurer or payment provider may collect an initial deposit followed by scheduled payments. Before agreeing, confirm the total premium, financing or administration charges, payment dates, accepted payment methods, and what happens after a missed payment.
Refund rules depend on the policy. Visa refusal, cancellation before departure, early return and claims can each produce a different result. Read the actual cancellation terms and keep the evidence required for any refund request.
