Thnks kriv,there is not any message in my cic account that shows vistor record. So thats why we are worried about decision ,i dont know extend or refuse.there is not any message that they require passport
Your mycic account says "file is approved" so it means your application is approved otherwise it would had state "rejected" or "refused".
file is closed means they have completed and made a decision on your file so it is now closed (means no further actions are required).
plz check your spam email folder you might have received an email from cic.
CIC does not request passports for the purpose of granting extensions. cic simply sends a printed document to home address which is called a
visitor record. you can look at the links below to see how the visitor record looks like

After approval of the application cic takes about 1-6weeks to send the visitor record at your home address. if you do not receive your visitor record you can call the call center after 6 weeks.
the visitor record will have a condition (observation/remarks) that you must undergo the medical exams. So relax and just take your mother for the medical exam on 22nd jan.
hope it helps
