Not correct. For sponsored applicants in Canada and US, currently Seattle rather than the CPP-O is the LVO. The CPP-O is simply a processing centre for those LVOs. Your application(Passport stamping) will be eventually sent to and finalized by either Seattle (for Canada and US) or the LVO responsible for your home country.user828 said:

Yes, I usually requested one year extension and the last one I got is a two years extension from Dec 2011 to Dec 2013. I didn't mean you have to be that rich, but such as the statement of 20,000 saving at TD from the applicant or if the inviter works for a reputable organization like CIC or RCMP will definitely help.user828 said:
Hi Peter Rabbit-- lots of other members are worried about the same thing. May i ask where is your LVO? as far as i know if you are from India you cannot mail your passport (Govt. considers it illegal) i guess same for Islamabad but if you are from Philippines you can mail or courier.Peter Rabbit said:
not really true, I applied for my mom just 3 months extension, but instead got 2 years that was also before supervisa was ever announced last year, the only thing was she had to get medicals exam within 90 days after we got approval.user828 said:
Thanks for the info, I think your timing of such a request was perfect too, there is another user who got 2 year ext after the intro of Supervisa, and you chose US LVO as your mother got 2 year during that time, that's a perfect scenario to be inparentsponsor said:
Interesting, this is something which must have been implemented recently as I have got 6 extensions so far ( in total ) between 2 visits and all were before 2008. It was always 6 months and been following immigration forums and it was always general consensus that visas are always in increments of 6 monthsapple_talk said:
My mom has 10yrs US visa, but we selected India as LVO as she had to be in Canada at least 1yr before she could select that.user828 said:
Which is why it led to me say that this is very new thing, perhaps CIC were trying to implement the supervisa 2 yrs from a long time and were ok to extend that to regular visa holders. I even read a case where they got supervisa in India, but CBSA stamped 6 months and she was told to extend and then it will give 2 yearsapple_talk said:
want to know weird thing, my mom as expected went back after 3 months & when she came back at the airport CBSA agent give her 2 yr stamp. She never applied for super visa & the 2 yr extension she got was only good as long as she remains in Canada, not valid on re-entry.user828 said:Which is why it led to me say that this is very new thing, perhaps CIC were trying to implement the supervisa 2 yrs from a long time and were ok to extend that to regular visa holders.

Looks like everyone did get the memo
