Extension of Visitor Visa Doubts

[jithucan123]

Hello Guys,

Hope you all doing good.

I am a Canadian Citizen and I have two sons 7 years and 3 and half years old they are also Canadian Citizens. My wife is Hospitalized since 2017 August. My elder son is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have applied for a Visitor Visa for my Mother and I have included my wife's and elder son's medical condition and my Mother's Visa got approved.

Unfortunately I was laid off from my job since March 2018 and I am on EI now. Since I don't have a job, I am no more eligible for the subsidized day care for my sons so after school we are taking care of kids

My mother came to Canada in 2018 May 17 and she has to leave Canada in 2018 November 16. We would like to extend her stay and planning to apply for the extension by October last week. I will include the following supporting documents with her application:

1) Wife's Medical report

2) Son's Medical report

3) Letter from Daycare stating that I am no more eligible for subsidized day care for kids

4) My EI statement

5) My Bank statements (I have a savings of $8,000)

My doubt is, is it advisable to apply for an extension of stay or is it good if she leave Canada by October last week and come back again by December or January?

If her extension of her stay got denied and she has to leave Canada, is there any issues if she come back again from India after exiting Canada for 1,2 months?

Expecting your reply

Thanks

Your mother caring for your children is considered work. Since she is a visitor she is not able to work. The only thing you should probably mention is your wife's hospitalization. It is very uncommon to spend a year in hospital so I'm not sure if she is now in a longterm care home or rehab centre. Not qualifying for subsidized daycare is not relevant. Your mother remaining in Canada on a longterm basis is probably unlikely unless she becomes a PR. Given your unemployment a supervisa is also not an option. You should apply for a visitor extension but you need to consider other options because even she gets an extension she will eventually need to go home and not return for a while because she is a visitor.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have already mentioned my wife's hospitalization and need of a support in the Invitation letter when I send my mother's Visa application. My wife is in a long term care and it may take 2-3 years she would be able to back home. So my question is, if my mother applied for an extension and it got denied she has to go back to India and after 1,2 months if she wants to come back to Canada would there be any issues she could face in Immigration at Airport?

Thanks

So you are asking how long she has to go out of Canada, until she can return for another six months? I also wonder this.

Ideally, a visitor must spend nearly the same amount of time outside Canada as the time s/he spent in Canada before attempting another entry.

It's not possible to tell if she might face problems if she returns in a couple of months. Maybe she will, maybe she won't. It depends on the officer at the POE
