Can existing supervisa holder staying in Canada stay upto 5 years ?

[sharadmishra]

Hello,
My mother-in-law got her supervisa in Feb 2020 and since then she has been staying with us in Canada. Her 2 year term is about to end in few months as per old guidelines.
In recent announcement, CIC announced that supervisa holder can stay upto 5 years without extension, would it be applicable to her currently ?
Can she stay for next 3 years(in total 5 years from 2020) without applying for extension, since she is on supervisa ?

She needs to apply for an extension.

Super visa (for parents and grandparents): About the document - Canada.ca

If you entered Canada with a valid super visa before July 4
The length of stay granted to you by the border services officer when you entered Canada remains the same. For instance, if you were granted 2 years, it would remain 2 years.

• However, if you want to benefit from a longer stay, you’ll need to leave Canada before the end of your authorized stay and re-enter Canada after July 4, 2022. The border services officer may grant you a length of stay of up to 5 years if you still meet all the eligibility requirements for a super visa.
• Or you can apply to extend your stay in Canada and be approved for an extension of up to 2 years.
