Super visa duration of stay

[caddy]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the duration of stay for Super Visa (Parent and Grandparent visa).

My mother-in law has a super visa and the following are her entries and exits:

1. She entered Canada on April 12 2018 with Super visa
2. She travelled to USA for 3 days in October 2018
3. She travelled to India on November 30th 2018 and returned to Canada by December 27th 2018 (27 days).
4. Till date(25-12-2019), she has been staying in Canada

There are no stampings in her passport each time she entered Canada. My question is how long she can stay in Canada.

On the website, it says "The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa (Super Visa) is a temporary resident permit that allows parents and grandparents to stay for up to 2 years in Canada per visit."

Please advise.

It’s entirely up to CBSA when she enters Canada. If they feel she is spending too much time in Canada, they can limit or refuse entry. Remember it states “may be allowed”.....nothing definite.

Thank you for your reply. I am slightly confused on the "second time entry" (after spending time (27 days) outside Canada) duration of stay. Can she stay till April 2020 which completes 2 years of stay or she should have stayed for 6 months on her second visit.?

She can stay for 2 years from her most recent entry in December 2018.
