My mother in law is here now in Canada holding a tourist visa (multiple entry) for 6 months. We are planning to extend her stay for another 6 months, did she need to undergo medical? Thank you

Not at the time of application. If she is required to do a medical examination, the instructions will be sent along with the visitor record/extension. The instructions will also indicate the timeframe given to complete the medical examination.

You do not have to purchase medical insurance if you have regular TRV (Temporary Visitors Visa). However, it is recommended to be protected from unexpected financial loss in case of medical emergency.

You may want to check out the available options and compare the rates from different Canadian insurance companies if you Click Here.

Hope it helps!

You don't need to buy insurance if Regular TRV, only those with Supervisa are required. But for peace of mind, you may opt to buy an insurance should anything happen the parent is covered.

Yes you need medical examination for your mother if she is staying here for more than 6 months. I had to do it for my mom as well so I know.. just do the medical exam and send the extension request to cic and it should be good.
