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!!

Hi guys, I know it is an old threads. But do you get any answer for this question? My parents have the same problem, entering Canada after July 4, 2022 but before June 22, 2023.

Length of visit depends on when your parents entered. They can attempt to extend their visit.

I’m confused about the situation regarding my parents’ eligibility for a 5-year stay in Canada. Back to the tike when they entered Canada, the critical date was July 4, 2022—if they entered after that date, they could stay for five years, provided there was no specific marking by the border officer. However, the IRCC website has now updated the critical date to June 22, 2023. According to this new rule, entering Canada before June 22, 2023, only qualifies them for a 2-year stay. If it is the new rule, they have been staying for more than two years. It will be a problem. I called IRCC and got two different interpretations for this situation. It is so confusing.
