Hi Friends,

My parents are visiting Canada from India. They arrived on 20th March 2019, on a tourist visa.

We want them to stay till February 2020.

However as per tourist visa guidelines they can stay for 6 months (19th September 2019).

They have a US tourist visa, and we are planning to visit NYC around August 2019 for two nights.

When they return back to Canada can they stay for another 6 months? Or do we need to apply for any extension.

Please advise

Do they have a multiple entry visa?

If they do not, they may not be admitted back into Canada.

If they do, they'll likely be allowed back into Canada, unless the CBSA officer feels that the trip was intended primarily to reset their clock and get another six months. They may receive a shortened stay.

You should apply for a supervisa if you wish them to stay longer.

If they leave the country, the timer resets. When they attempt to re-enter Canada, the CBSA officer may

1. Allow them in for six months
2. Allow them in for a shorter period
3. Deny them entry.

The most likely scenario is (1), with a small chance of (2). A flat denial is very unlikely unless you somehow make the CBSA officer think that they are planning to stay in Canada for good.

You can also apply for a visitor extension from within Canada if you don't want to exit the country and re-enter.

Thank you for your replies. Is it possible to get visa extension for 6 months? What documents are needed for applying for it?

Hey
I need immediate help!!!
I have applied for my mother's TRV and CRC has refused it on the grounds,

" I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your travel history. "


So the case is that I have just got my PR and I am traveling to Toronto and wanted my Mother to accompany me on TRV. We have mentioned that she is going for tourist purpose and also I have attached a letter of invitation from a friend. My mother is working as a director in her self-owned company. We have shown around CAD 7725.44 in her account and also shown property papers worth more than CAD 77254.38. Now we are thinking for re-applying for her visa. Can you please suggest how should we move forward with the application now?

If you just received your PR , you should of waited and got settled in Canada before trying to have your mother visit . It appears to the IRCC you are trying to bring your mother with you

Why do you need your mother to come with you would be the counter argument? She also has very little cash in her name which is the reason she was refused.

hi.. i need help regarding TRV application.
My father and mother are applying for TRV to attend my brother's convocation ceremony in canada. while filling the family information form, my father don't have any document which may reveal his father's DOB and Date of Death. Since my grandfather died when my father was only 3 months old and it was in 1950's when there was not any official national identity card or any document which may contain his father's date of birth. Although he do know the father's name as indicated on Birth Certificate. Moreover, my father's eldest brother also migrated to Canada in 1990's. But he died last year, we are not aware about his immigration documents, so there is no any possible way to get the exact DOB. so what i should write in those field?

Since your grandfather passed away many decades ago, it does not matter what you write. Write a best guess and move on with your application. This is not in any way material to your father's TRV. If you want to be really careful, write a letter explaining this and attach it.

That's what i am doing but my father's brother is a Canadian citizen and he passed away last year. So we can make a wild guess but it might conflict with his brother's information bcz we don't know what he wrote in his immigration application. so what other option do i have?

Make a wild guess and write why you did it. If it's impossible (or practically impossible) IRCC won't expect you to know it.

This doesn't affect his application in any way. His father's date of birth has no connection whatsoever with his TRV application. That information can be used when people sponsor children etc, but that's not ever going to happen here.
