Converting visitor's visa to a supervisa?

[kdaniyal]

Hey guys,

We have a client whose mom is already here in Canada on a TRV. They want to extend her stay and apply for the supervisa. I do know that it is possible. I, however, wanted to know how would I go on about applying for a supervisa.

She is here from India. Does she need to redo her medical examination. I am of an understanding that for a supervisa, you need to have a medical examination done and have the medical examination form submitted alongside the supervisa application to the local Canadian Embassy ?? Since she is here in Canada already, how would I go on about this ??

Please help.

Regards,

Unfortunately, you can't be able to get Supervisa within Canada, I'm also in the same situation .... you can only get extension from Canada

Supervisa --> Apply from home country only!

You cannot convert a TRV to a super visa. Super visas must be applied from scratch in the home country, not from Canada.

Your client's mother can only apply to extend her current visitor status i.e. her entry on the TRV. She must apply to 'Change conditions, Extend her stay in Canada as a visitor' by filling IMM5708 and mail it to CPC-Vegreville.

Any previous medicals are valid for 12 months. Has she done medicals for a TRV?

Your mom can apply for a super visa from her home country if you meet the eligibility criteria, including LICO

Thanks, but while holding a valid TRV (which will be expired in Nov 2018), would they still allow to apply supervisa application?

Yes, she can apply for a super visa even though she has a valid TRV

Thanks Bryanna, Could you please share me that web URL for such information?

There's no URL. However, this is common knowledge and has been done by some applicants. If approved, her current TRV will be cancelled.

You can contact the visa office if you'd like to reconfirm.

One point:
If your mom's passport is valid until November 2018 (i.e. until the validity of her current TRV) then I recommend you first renew her passport before applying for a super visa

Good point Bryanna, I was also thinking to renew her passport first... but why there is no criteria to apply supervisa counterfoil/TRV within Canada?

Hello Bryanna, this question is related to the previous ones....
If I applied a Super Visa for my mom after she get the multiple TRV. And then she travel to Canada AFTER her medical exam BUT BEFORE it's granted. Would the Supervisa application still be processing? Can she send her passport via mail from Canada if they requst and get it sent back to her where she presents (in Canada)? Please advise!
Thank you.

Her super visa application would be a new application after the TRV is granted/stamped in her passport.

Can she send her passport via mail from Canada if they requst and get it sent back to her where she presents (in Canada)? Please advise!
Thank you.

She can submit her passport to CPC-O if she gets a passport request for her super visa
