Apply for visa extension or travel to Canada

[sherry9oct]

My relative is stuck in USA due to corona virus (flights cancellation issue). My relative's student visa expires on 15 July and his/her flight is on 9th July out of USA. In case if the flight is canceled again what are the options.
1. Should she/he apply in advance for visa extension. Is there a way to apply for extension? Can someone please guide me in the right direction if there is a way to apply.
2.Should he/she apply for us visitor visa?
3.My relative has a valid visit visa for Canada if USA rejects his/her extension visa and the flight is canceled. Should he/she try to travel to Canada by road? I am in Canada and can help with any stay issue or completing quarantine requirements in Canada.
4.If option 1,2 and 3 will not work then is there any other option. Please suggest

#3 - There is no foreseeable time during which your relative will be admitted into Canada on a visit visa, as entry into Canada is banned for non-citizens and non-residents in general. It doesn't sound like your relative will fit any of the entry exemptions either. It doesn't matter whether they take a flight or enter by land border, they will be denied entry if they are not a citizen or resident or immediate family member of one.

You should be asking the other questions on a US immigration forum, as the US and Canada are treating this situation very differently.
