Extension of TRV- for parents in Canada

[Skrish]

Hi ,
My parents immigrated to the United States on b2 visa in August and they have valid period of stay for six months but in the month of November they visited me in Canada for a weekend. The border officer had stamped the passport with the entry date .so does their six month period start from November till May in Canada though they were here only for 2 days or will it change if they renter Canada after six month period in United States. This will help me decide to apply for their extension .

Your question is not very clear...in terms of which country and stay...kindly write in points with days/dates.
Also you mean they are visiting USA on B2 visa (it is a non-immigrant visa - they cant immigrate).
If the border officer in canada stamped the entry date - it is 6 months from the entry date. If they have a multiple entry visa, they can re-enter Canada and it will be 6 months from the entry date again.
Also keep in mind that duration of stay if required is upto to the discretion of the Border officer, but if they have not told you anything and you have multiple entry visa its probably 6 months from date of entry - you can also ask them and they can tell when your parents re-enter.

Sorry for not giving the details properly
My parents landed USA on July 31 and have the i94 valid till jan 31.
My father had visited me for a week during August 17 to August 22 in Toronto
Canada border service stamped the entry date as August 17 .he again visited me in November for a weekend .
My father has a multiple entry visa in Canada . He will be coming again to canada on his expiry of six months in USA. Since he already has his passport stamped in August 17 will he be eligible to stay only till February 16 or can he get the stamp again on his reentry to avail the six months period.

Each entry is stamped again on passport - he will get a new entry stamp when he enters Canada again with that date written on it - it is usually 6months from that date - Ask the Border Officer when entering to confirm....If a longer stay is required - you can apply for extension of stay from within Canada.
Canada does not stamp exit on passport but when your parents returned to USA from canada - USA must have stamped entry - this shows that you left canada - hence it will not be an issue.

Did canada stamp your fathers passport when he re-entered in November? I think they must have or atleast scanned (sometimes they forget to stamp when you are entering from USA).

Just so you know a multiple entry visa means - your stay is determined from every entry and not from the first entry...else it does not make sense to have a multiple entry visa if the duration is determined from the first entry
What is the expiry on the canada visa for your father?

Thanks alot this helps . My father currently has visa valid till 08.20.2014.
I have one more question ? Can I apply for Super Visa from within canada ? Can I apply this anytime during their stay or only before 30days of expiry of 6 month period.
