My mother-in-law is currently here in Canada. She is under 10 year multiple Supervisa. I am having difficulty dealing with her and she is causing us a lot of problem. I am not working and my husband is the only working right now. When we applied the visa for her my husband was working two jobs so he could passed the required income for inviting her here in Canada. Now, my husband works only one job and our finances is crumbling. Bills are piling up because of extra expenses we spending with his mom here in Canada. My question is, can we cancel her Supervisa? As she is really causing us troubles here, she is also damaging our relationship as husband and wife. Hope you could help me here. So anxious to get her out of Canada. Thank you!

Unfortunately no, her visa can’t be cancelled. Her visa is valid until it expires. The only thing is to pay her airfare, ask her to leave, drive her to the airport and return home. If she does leave, she always can re-enter Canada until her visa expires. You can’t stop her.
No. Has she done anything illegal in the country to be arrested? This is a family, not immigration matter. You can file a police report if she has threatened or abused you in any way. You would need proof. You may then be able to get a restraining order to stay away from you. However, this doesn’t remove her from the country.
Your husband should be telling his mother that it is time to go home.
I feel for you but your husband has to stand up and tell her. He needs to have an honest conversation with her about the reasons why she needs to go home. Don’t know how long she has been with you, but also say that she is welcome to return to Canada (she has a supervisa) but it will be for a set period of time (a few weeks visit) with a return ticket.
She’s been here almost 6 months, actually she has a return ticket this year. My fear is that she wont go back home and would just insist to stay. She has a strong personality and has a tendency to do whatever she wants. I told her that she could come back but only for a visit. She will never be permanent here unless we will apply her for permanent residency?
Her supervisa is valid until expiry. Next time she comes get a non-refundable return ticket that is only for a month long visit, not a year. For her PR, your husband has to apply, meet income levels for 3 years and then be selected in the lottery. So he can apply without you. If selected, he is financially responsible for her for 20 years.
Thank you for the information about the PR. With our financial situation right now, my husband wont be able to meet the income level required for her PR, not unless I go back to work and include my income in his application.
I understand the situation you're in. My brother is in similar situation. It's a private family matter. Even, police will advice you to settle it privately. The ball is in your husband's court. He needs to understand the important of your relationship and respect it. This you ought to have considered before bringing her over. Let your husband find a trick to make her leave. For the visa to be cancelled will be difficult, bc it might impact her subsequent application.
Yes, you are right. I am waiting for my husband to do the work here. I really regret processing her papers as she is causing me so much heartache here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
You need to meet LICO for 3 years in a row so PR is not an option. But just so you know if for some reason you support her PGP application for PR, you are financially responsible for her for 20 years. So if she goes on welfare or seeks social assistance, you will have to pay it back. Even if (god forbid), you get divorced then you are still responsible for her. It is a long-term commitment so if you do not want to sponsor her then do not agree to it.
