hi, my mom is on super visa, her initial stay is till nov 2021, but we'd like to extend it for about an year more due to covid related fears
while applying for the extension I found out that it might take longer than 6 months to get the extension letter and also they might ask for her medicals again as well.
My question is - if we apply for extension, can she go back to our home country before her extension letter is issued?
what happens if her medical is requested and she is already in India? do we still do the medicals?
as it is a super visa - she will be eligible to come back and stay for up to 2 years again. I'm confused.

thanks for your help!

If she plans to leave, then you do not need to apply for extension. Extension is invalid once she leaves Canada.
She will be eligible to come back but that and how long for the next stay is up to the CBSA officer.

but the plan is to leave after her current stay expires. my concern is -
example her stay expires in nov. and we need to file for extension in oct
now she plans to leave in January. but what if we get a medical request for example, after she has left Canada in January?

Cancel the extension request once she left the country.

If she stays past the end of the 2 year stay she has already stayed on using the extension so yes she can be asked to do a medical even if she has left. You can try get out of the medical by sending a webform once she leaves Canada but not guaranteed she won’t still have to do the medical. If she leaves before November she won’t have to do the medical.
