Are there other ways for parents and grandparents to visit their families in Canada?

We understand that parents and grandparents want to spend time with their families. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has introduced a new Parent and Grandparent Super Visa. It allows eligible parents and grandparents to visit Canada for up to 24 months at a time without renewing their visa.
