Super visa date of arrival stamp confusion.

[neochanges1]

Hi there, my MIL's 2nd entry here in Canada was on January 30, 2019. The boarder officer stamped her passport with her date of arrival and that was it. I'm confused on if she's allowed to stay for another 6 months, or is this good for 2 years?

I went to CIC's website and found this:

If you have a super visa
If you enter Canada on a super visa and the border services officer puts a stamp without a date in your passport, you can stay for 2 years.

What do they mean by "puts a stamp without a date"? A stamp with date of arrival but without date of validity?

Can someone clear this up please?

Thanks

Are you sure they wrote the arrival date? Is this an extension? How long was she out of Canada?

Yes arrival date but I'm starting to doubt myself now.. I'll double check it. Her first entry was January 2018 and was give 6 months so we renewed it and granted to stay for another year till August 2019. She was out of Canada from November 6th till end of January

Technically the 2 years should start when she entered in January. Maybe others can explain the date.

It was kinda dumb. The reason she was only given 6 months is cause she didnt have a hard copy of her insurance. If you'll think about it, she wouldnt get approved supervisa if she doesnt have an insurance. Oh well lol!

Thanks for your time kind Sir/Maam.

Ok makes more sense. She has been admitted as a regular visitor. You can cancel supervisa insurance so it is important to check it at POE.

It is mandatory that she must have a minimum of CAD 100,000 super visa medical insurance for each entry and not just for the super visa application. In fact, the insurance is one of the basic reasons why the super visa is different from the regular TRV

Sorry for the confusion but yes she did have medical insurance (CAD $100,000) upon first entry but she didn't have a hard copy to prove that she has it which was very unfortunate (an honest mistake on my end, I should've been more prepared). My MIL isn't that tech savy to pull a soft copy from her phone or email.

Even the officer told her at that time if she had the hard copy/proof of insurance, she might've given 2 years instead of 6 months but moving on, she was extended for a year anyway after her initial 6 months.

This still loops back to my original question with only the date of entry stamp when she came back last week here in Canada after being away for 3 months.
