With a Super Visa, you can stay in Canada for up to five years at a time without needing to renew your status (Canada) (CIC News).
A Super Visa itself cannot be directly converted to Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada. However, while in Canada on a Super Visa, you may apply for PR through other immigration programs if you meet their eligibility requirements. These programs include family sponsorship, Express Entry, or other provincial nominee programs. It's important to consult with an immigration consultant or check the IRCC website for specific pathways and eligibility criteria.
