Officer did not put date on the stamp - Super Visa

[scorpiomailin]

Hi all,

My dad came here on Supervisa last year in July, Officer stamped it for 2 years until 2019 July, then we went to Mexico for vacation and came back into Canada, at that time Officer did not put any date on the stamp to return.
I know SuperVisa holder is eligible for 2 years to stay but after talking to few other people I am now confused, so please help around which is correct?

1) He does not need visa extension because officer did not put return date so automatically he is eligible to stay for 2 years from the date of his last entry?

2) He has only 6 months to stay and if he wishes to stay longer, he has to apply for extension.

3) He can stay until 2019 July based on the date when he entered first in July 2017 when officer did put in the return date.


Not sure which is correct???

Thanks,
Scorp

His visitor status for the first entry on the super visa lapsed when your dad exited Canada for Mexico. Until then he could have stayed in the country for 2 years without applying for an extension.

On re-entering, he was assessed for a new entry on the super visa. From the second visit (and for any future visits) on the super visa, the immigration officer can allow a max. stay of up to 6 months.... not for two years. The two-years stay is allowed only for the first visit on the super visa.

Your dad would need to apply to extend his stay before the 6 months is up
