Yes — you can pay Super Visa insurance monthly. IRCC accepts a policy that is paid in instalments with a deposit. Several Canadian insurers offer monthly plans; the deposit, fees and refund rules differ, so compare the total yearly cost before choosing.
How monthly Super Visa plans work
- Choose an insurer that offers instalments and get a quote.
- Pay the deposit (often the first month or two) when the policy is issued.
- The remaining months are charged automatically to your credit card.
- You receive a full policy document for the visa application — showing it is being paid by instalments.
Monthly vs. paying in full
| Monthly | Paid in full | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Low (deposit only) | Full premium |
| Total cost | Same or slightly higher | Lowest |
| Accepted by IRCC | Yes, with deposit | Yes |
| Risk | Policy may cancel if a payment fails | None |
Tips
- Use a credit card that won't expire during the year.
- Ask whether the monthly plan covers stable pre-existing conditions — not all do.
- Check the refund rules if your parents might return early.
