My parents third extension application(we had asked for 2 extra years) got approved. My dad’s till 2026 and my moms till December 2024(when her biometrics expire). I had submitted a webform with a receipt of payment for biometrics explaining we had realized mom needs to do biometrics to get the full 2 year stay.But looks like the application was already finalized by the time they got the webform. Very strange point to note that they approved it within record time, we applied on October 10 2024 and decision came in on Nov 1 2024. Maybe because their PR application is in progress?

My questions are below:

1) I will submit another extension application for my mom asking for the full two years. Previously my dad was the principle applicant. Should I make my mom the principle applicant now?

2) I recall there being a question “will your spouse acompany you to Canada? Should I say yes or no because even though my dad is accompanying her his visitor record is already approved.

3) I will write a letter of explanation from my moms side explaining why she is applying again to get the full 2 years and how due to biometrics expiry she only got a shorter period of time. Should I also include the previous letters of support from me and the original submission letter from my dad? Or make a brand new submission letter from my mom and support letter from myself?

4) can I attach the same receipt of biometrics payment as I put in the webform because a biometrics instruction letter was never issued?

5) should I wait for the actual visitor record to be received in the mail even though they have provided the approval letters in the gc key account?
