Got a visitor record. What next?

[Roopunzel]

Hello.

So in short, my mother came to Canada with me as a visitor and we wanted to extend her stay, so we got applied for a visitor record. The visitor record came in a few days ago, and when I asked my CIC advisor, she told me I've supposed to apply for a new TRV.

I tried to apply for a new TRV at the CIC website, but it keeps directing me into apply for a visitor record... I'm guessing it's because I'm choosing the legal status (for my mother) as "visitor"? I'm not sure what to do.

I'd appreciate some help!

Thanks in advance.

A visitor record is correct to extend a stay in Canada.

A new TRV is required if she leaves Canada and wants to return.

Yes, this is exactly our case. Is there anywhere where I can find the answers I'm supposed to choose from the drop-lists in the questionnaire for my case?

You need to apply as if she were not in Canada.

You need to apply as if she were not in Canada.

Would that be safe? 'Cause I would need to send her passport later for the TRV to be added

It's the only way you're going to get the proper visa form, I believe. I believe it is what IRCC recommends that students in Canada who need a new TRV do.
