Visit Canada while waiting for Super Visa

[An2208]

Hi everyone,
I applied for a Super Visa for my mother on April 15, 2025. She's 65 years old and currently holds a Visitor Visa that's valid until August 30, 2025, which is stamped in her old passport (also valid until August 30, 2025). She got a new passport in December 2024.

To support her Super Visa application, I requested new biometrics, even though her previous biometrics (from her Visitor Visa) are valid until 2032. Her new biometrics appointment is scheduled for April 22, 2025.

My plan is for her to visit me in Canada from May to August 2025 using her current Visitor Visa
I have a few questions:

1. Medical Exam: Should I arrange an upfront medical exam for her now, even though she's planning to travel soon? Would it help speed up her Super Visa processing?
2. Passport Submission: If IRCC sends a passport request (PPR) while she's in Canada, can I mail her new passport to India, have my sister submit it at a VAC, and then mail it back to my mom in Canada so she can leave before her Visitor Visa expires?
3. Police Clearance Certificate: Is a PCC required for a Super Visa? If yes, how would she get one while she’s in Canada?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes she can visit. TRV expiry date does not dictate allowable visit length because a TRV is just a travel document. When she enters Canada she will be given an up to 6 month visit.

. Hi . I’m also in same situation. If we get PPR, can we do something from here in Canada or can send it to someone in India ?
