Extension of Stay as a visitor

[pie_vancouver]

Officer politely told me only first stay is good for 2 years (with a handwritten date) and then only 6 months can be allowed for later entries. Hence, he wouldn't be able to hand write me a date, and thus stay would only be valid for 6 months. I applied online for an extension for 2 yrs since it is supervisa and I was approved for 2 years.

Is medical insurance mandatory for extension?

UPDATE: my friend called CIC, and the agent said IF NO STAMP means 2 YEARS if first time,
if not first time = 6 months
Is it clear now?

Lol, the Call Centre staff are wrong more than they are right. The website clearly states that supervisa holders need to have a handwritten date stating years. No stamp = 6 months. It's pretty damn clear.

Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. As discussed, you will find below complementary information to our conversation:

Super visa - Length of stay - Less than 2 years on initial entry
The parent and grandparent super visa can allow eligible parents and grandparents to remain in Canada for an authorized period of up to two years from their initial entry into the country.
However, if you did not get a Visitor Record when you arrived in Canada, and there is:

• A stamp in your passport and a handwritten date:
  • it is important you leave the country on or before that date.
• A stamp in your passport, but no handwritten date, or
• No stamp in your passport:
  • it is important you leave the country two years from the date of your initial entry.

To obtain a Visitor record or to extend your stay in Canada as a visitor:

• You can apply by mail or online before the expiry date of your current status,
  • we recommend reading the instruction guide first, it will assist you to fill out the form and it will give you the address where to mail it.

Old information and no longer available. I really don't know why you are fighting on this. The link I posted clearly states that they have updated the language and clarified the supervisa length of stay.

Whatever you say

You should apply as CIC agent because you are an expert. And boot all those agents that give wrong info.

Hi, i am gonna apply for extension. I am doing it online. But they only want one page scanned. So how can i scan multiple pages in one page? And should i upload marriage certificate? I don't know how to upload all of these documents. The space is very strict.

HELLO!
My husband and I are PR holders. Our minor son is here in Canada with us on a TRV. He will complete his 6 months in Canada soon. I am going to apply for his visitor record. Do I need to submit his medical exam results along with the request for VISITOR RECORD? (The CIC website asks me to attach his medical exam under the supporting documents).

If yes, then:
1. Can I attach the medical results used during his TRV (assuming they are valid for a year)
2. Do I get new medical exam done for him again?
3. Do I wait for a medical exam request from CIC after his visitor record is approved ?

PLEASE ADVICE!!
