Hi,

I would appreciate any information or answers regarding my inquiry below.

My mother is currently here in Canada. Her Temporary Resident status extension will expire on April 15, 2019. She arrived here in Canada on May 2017. I have extended her stay twice (6 months and 1 year). So all in all, she's been here for more than one and a half years. Here are my questions:

1. Is Canada Visitor Visa counterfoil in the passport and TRV the same?

2. The Canada visitor visa counterfoil in her passport will expire on April 20, 2019 and her Temporary Resident Status document will expire on April 15, 2019, can I apply again for more than 6 months extension or longer even if the counterfoil is until April 20, 2019 only? Does she have to leave Canada and apply again for Canada Visitor Visa in the Philippines? Or she can still stay here in Canada and I will just apply for an extension of her TRV?

3. Parents and Grandparents sponsorship will open again this January, can I apply for sponsorship while my Mother is still here in Canada via visitor visa or she needs to be in the Philippines while I'm doing the application?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

1. Same thing.

2. The validity of the TRV is irrelevant to her stay in Canada. She can apply for another extension. The longer she stays, the higher the chances of an extension being refused.

3. She can be in Canada.
