Is this considered overstaying in Canada?

Hi, my mom has a visitor visa expired in Feb 18 2025. She came in Canada on Sep 23 2024 and has booked a flight already to leave Canada on March 18 2025. Currently is she considered overstaying and will this affect her next super visa application?

The expiry date on the TRV is irrelevant. How long was she allowed to enter Canada when she arrived in Sept?

No other dates? If not, she was allowed in for six months.
no, I don't see other dates, thanks for reassuring. If you may allow me to ask you another question. We applied a new visitor visa for her within canada and it was rejected yesterday. I found out it was because in the invitation letter we used the reason " to look after grandchild". Now she decided to go back to our homecountry and apply for supervisa. My question is what reasoning can she put in the application for supervisa given that she has a history of rejection ...

You cannot apply for a visitor visa from inside Canada, only a visitor record. Never should have applied and now must state she has refusal. It wasn’t because of letter because she wasn’t eligible.

She doesn't qualify to apply for a new TRV within Canada. The application has to be processed outside of Canada. IRCC will often view taking care of grandchildren as working illegally. Avoid giving that as a reason for visiting in the future. Make sure you declare the TRV refusal in the super visa application.

yeah I regret that I didn't read carefully before applying for her but on their site they don't specify that you cannot apply while in Canada.

When my mom heads back to home country, should she try applying supervisa or visitor visa with her history of refusal?

Your choice. I can't comment on that.
