Super visa - Entry after/before June 2023 or July 2022?

[Hummingbird89]

Hello,

Does anyone know why it is now using June 22, 2023 as a reference date for the super visas getting 5 year stays?
It used to be July 4, 2022.

Hi, I am getting the same issue for my mother. My mother entered Canada in Super Visa on July 9, 2022 and that time It was used to be July 4, 2022. It was written in the website that from July 4, 2022, if parent enter then they can stay 5 years at a time. But, now, they changed it and they did not put any stamp or date on my mothers passport. No visitor record was given that time as well. Now the website is saying that if there is not stamp then parents can stay only 6months.

How long you can stay?
Most visitors can stay in Canada for up to 6 months.
If your passport was stamped when you entered Canada, you need to leave by the date stamped in your passport. If you received a visitor record, you need to leave Canada by the expiry date listed on the visitor record.
If your passport wasn’t stamped and you used a primary inspection kiosk, you can only stay in Canada

• for up to 6 months from the day you initially entered the country, or
• until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

What should I do now? Please advice if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am in a similar situation and need help!!

My mother was issued a Super visa upto the expiry of her passport i.e Feb 2025.

She entered Canada in June 2024 and border agent said you're good for 5 years once she showed them her Supervisa insurance.

My question is: we will be applying for her new passport from within Canada. So what happens with her 5 year term that was given to her?
Can she continue to stay inside Canada for 5 years even though visa (on old passport) expires in Feb 2025?

What if she leaves Canada and wants to return before Feb 2025? can she do that? especially with visa being on her old passport? what are the chances she will be given longer term entry?

I am very confused by this whole passport and visa expiry matter and stay of 5 years and need someone who can tell from experience the right thing to do.

Thank you so much!!
