How soon can she re-enter and what questions will be asked?

[Yourname]

Hello,
My girlfriend has a multiple re-entry visa. When she arrived the first time on invitation from her aunt, she stayed for 6 months in Toronto. Before the status expiration, she went back.

It's been two months, and she wants to visit again before end of May to look at schools.
My questions are:

1) Will she need to go through the whole bank statement thing before she comes back?
2) Do you think there's a chance she won't get an "exit date stamp" on her passport while means she can stay for the full six months?
3) What kind of questions will they be asking? Anything to do with deep questioning on purpose?
4) Can she just say "here to look for schools but also visit my aunt and boyfriend"
5) When she mentions the "boyfriend", will they look deeper and ask "when you came here the last time, you mentioned your aunt and nothing about your boyfriend, why not?" ... what's the best way to field this?

Thanks so much!

1) Will she need to go through the whole bank statement thing before she comes back?

What do you mean?

The bank statements required for getting a VISA? Does she need a new visa?

2) Do you think there's a chance she won't get an "exit date stamp" on her passport while means she can stay for the full six months?

There is always that chance.

3) What kind of questions will they be asking? Anything to do with deep questioning on purpose?

She won't know until she meets the immigration officer on entry.

4) Can she just say "here to look for schools but also visit my aunt and boyfriend"

If she is doing that then yes.

5) When she mentions the "boyfriend", will they look deeper and ask "when you came here the last time, you mentioned your aunt and nothing about your boyfriend, why not?" ... what's the best way to field this?

They might. But not that kind of question, they don't care about who you are visiting in that level of detail. But if she says "boyfriend" then most likely follow up questions might arise, like what do you do, how did you meet, etc.

Thanks for the answers!
- bank statements - when she applied for her ME visit visa, she had to show proof of funds, etc. Upon re-entry, will she need to go through that again?
- That chance - in your experience, because she's been out for a couple months... does that reduce her next 6 month stay?

Multiple entry

Bank statements are a requirement for getting a visa, so unless she is getting a new one she does not need to go through that again.

In my experience second reentry is ok and would not be a problem. But.... it all depends in the officer. Visiting means that she is spending a short amount of time in Canada, therefore the immigration officer can question her on why she has spent more time in the last year living in Canada than in her home country. Usually this is not too important on the second reentry, but again, you never know.
