My mom (widow) is visiting us since 2008 on multiple entry visitor visa till 2017.
She never had intention to live permanent here, So we never applied PR for her even we were eligible since 2006 (except 2007 and 2012 as my wife was on mat leave).
Then in Jan 2012 situation changed, my brother her other son (unmarried, no kids; one of her two children) passed away while she was visiting us here in Canada. When me and my mom came back after 4 weeks from his cremation, the officer at Vancouver airport suggest me that we can extend her stay by applying after listening situation that I, my wife and two kids are only family she have now. Then she get one extension, and then we visited back country in April 2013.
After six months we were planing to apply extension, but she got invitation for child birth celebration in USA. We applied for US visa and she got 10yrs multi-entry. when she returned after spending 3+ weeks in celebrations at USA, the officer at Edmonton airport called me for interpretation and accused us that she just made her US visit to extend her visa. I told him that there were guest from 4 countries in Celebrations and we can provide proof if needed. But I also told him yes we want her to stay here for 6 more months and I was going to apply for extensions. He insist us to apply PR even knowing there was halt on them. I told him that she had return ticket on march 2014. He give her paper with must return on her return flight+3 days. she has return after 6 months so we thought we will apply super visa after she return in 2014
She return in March and came back after 5 weeks a week ago. Now again officer at Edmonton called me in for interpretation and reduced her stay just for a month. He again insist us to apply PR, I told him rules changed to show 3yrs above cut off income and don't fulfill it 2012 due to mat leave. He replied even we knew it rejected still we should had applied. Then he we should have applied super visa, when I asked him what the difference other then 2yrs stretch and we are ok with breaks in 6 months or extention. He said there is no difference but still its super visa. He said she is staying longer in Canada then her home country and she can't do. When I asked him that is there a rule for minimum time required between visits, he no.
Then I asked him if she can apply for extension or super visa in Canada please give stay for 3-4 months to do that. He didn't bulge and said extension is not easy for her anymore after cic read remarks he left and he said next time she might not allowed to enter even she have visa till 2017.
After this I can't take risk and send her back next months to to find out can't enter Canada anymore.
I am think to apply super visa(in Canada) this week and then H&C as we won't be eligible in 2015 due to low income in 2012.
If she applied super visa extension, she still get implied status as one get on regular visitor visa extension?
Or what should we do, suggest please. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks
