Can a Super Visa holder get provincial health coverage or work in Canada?

The Super Visa is a long-stay visitor visa, not a work or immigration status. Holders do not qualify for provincial or territorial health insurance, which is why private medical insurance is mandatory, and they are not eligible for federal social assistance.

Because it is a visitor visa, it does not authorize work in Canada. Parents and grandparents who want to work would need a separate work authorization, and those seeking permanent status would look at sponsorship programs instead.
