Hi. I sent a letter of invitation to my mother in law to come to Canada with a visitor visa so she can see her daughter that is sick in hospital (my wife). I said in the letter that I would cover her housing, feed her and cover her expenses.

But in the event of her being here, my Wife has passed away God bless her soul. But now to the death of my wife her daughter, she doesn't need to stay in Canada anymore as per indicated on the letter that she stayed for the daughter recovery, not after death. But she insists on staying, and I found out that she had a medical condition that was not broth to my attention and at the funeral, I found out that she wants to stay in Canada and not return. How can I revoke my responsibility for her due to that circumstance? Is there someone that I need to contact and let them know so if she decided to fall ill or stayed in Canada by renewing her visa is not my responsibility of supporting her.

She is here on a 6-month plane ticket she will not return till October and she doesn't need to stay anymore due to the fact that she stays with a friend of the family and I'm not sheltering her of feeding her anymore.

You cannot be held legally responsible for her in Canada. If she overstays, you can report her. Other than that, you can't do anything.

Place a report on her, if she overstay.

Seek legal advice on bringing your “undertaking” to a closure, as much as your “commitment” may carry no weight given that the circumstance or context has changed. You want to be sure for peace of mind.

There are no undertakings on visitor visas. Supervisas, sure. Family sponsorship, yep. Visitors visas? No.
 
And hence the reference to “undertaking” in quotations for want of a better word to frame the OP’s concern that he may be held liable for his sponsorship in one form or another. I get it his letter of invitation is not a legal letter of undertaking, but he’s dealing with someone who could challenge it as such. Would legal advice hurt to allay his fear?

There is no sponsorship and legal advice is a waste of money. He cannot be held legally responsible for this woman in Canada.
 
I’m sorry for your loss. Did she just arrive? Maybe she got an extension. If she has medical issues she may need to return because she was only allowed to bring in 90 days of medication and would have to pay for any medical care.
 
She arrived April 23, 2019, and the Airline told me she has a plane ticket to return in October 3rd of this year. I ask her if she got Medical insurance before she left but she keeps telling me that she has travel insurance for the 6 months. I know that is not the same and she was expecting me to pay for that when she arrives but I didn't. I found her story a little fishy

You are not responsible for her in any way, shape, or form. You shouldn't worry.
 
How can I find out what type of Visa she has? I have a picture of her visa approval document with number date of issue, date of expire, and it says that it "multiple" duration of 10 years same times as the biometric code for passport

Why do you care so much? You know she came as a visitor, you aren't responsible. Period.

If this was a Supervisa application it would have involved a lot more than a simple letter of invitation.

I know it must be a stressful time for you, but this really isn't something you should be worrying about. Forget about this.
 
"When you arrive in Canada, the officer at the port of entry will determine whether you may enter Canada and how long you may stay. You must leave Canada on or before the date set by the officer or have your status extended by an officer in Canada. The stamp placed in your passport by a Canadian official is generally valid for a period of six (6) months unless another duration is specified by the official." this is from the IRCC website regarding her entry to Canada can she decide to renew her stay or must she leave on the set date?

I just don't need this to backfire in my face when she ends up in the hospital due to high blood pressure and they demand I pay when everyone tells me I'm not responsible. so this applies on a TR visa and a visitor visa, I'm guessing its the same thing?
