my father is a spanish citizen and he stayed here in canada for 6 months ( no need of Visa) before he finished his 6 months of staying here in canada, we applied for extension, and fortunately the immigration give him another 1 year to stay here in canada. My question is, this August he is planning to go to US for a visit for just 1 week, and go back here in canada after 1 week vacation in US. So i was thinking if the extension i still valid? because the Immigration gave him until april 2015.

FYI - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=473&t=16

If you have a single-entry visa this allows you to enter Canada once. If you leave Canada during your authorized stay, you must get a new visitor visa to re-enter Canada, unless you visit the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon. If you visit those places, you can return to Canada without a new visa, as long as you:
return within the period that the Canadian immigration officer initially authorized when you first entered Canada (on your visa, it is either a handwritten date or 6 months from the date of the entry stamp); or
have a valid visitor record, work permit, study permit or temporary resident permit (authorizing re-entry), and return within the period that the officer initially authorized.
