Extending Visitor Visa while waiting for Outland PR

[tofuboi]

Hi,

My wife's visitor visa is almost up, and I need some advice on the reasoning as I don't want to make it sound like she's doing work here.

My wife gave birth to our daughter last month, and I need my wife to continue to take care of her while I work. Would CIC order her to leave and separate her child and her? That would affect the quality of life for the child tremendously as she's currently breast feeding. Would that be a valid reason for her to stay? Indicate the baby cannot leave with her at this time, and my daughter needs her mother?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

CIC would not ask her to leave .
I am same situation as your wife ( applied outland and stay in canada as visitor for a long time)
i extended my visitor visa and received a year and recently mailed another extended app.

So your wife can write a letter explained her situation along with application- just have a baby and want to stay with you and baby and wait for pr with my family etc.
Sure it would be fine.

All she needs to say is that she would like to remain here with her spouse and baby while waiting for PR. There is no need to say that she needs to be here to take care of the child while you work.

We have also applied outland while my husband is in the country.

My husband has been in the country for five months , He's american so he is not on an visitors visa , do I still need to send in for a visitor extension , and should I send it now or after the six months has come up?

Yes he needs to apply to extend his stay.. They prefer you apply to extend 30 days prior to your legal visitor status being up, so I would apply now or very soon if it was me, although many seem to apply right before thier time is up.. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend/visa.asp

Once you apply your husband will have implied status while you await the decision..
