Im a visitor, applied for an extension en feb-2011 and got a permit until 19-feb-2014. Im looking to extend my stay for an additional 5 months, but I need your help...

In feb-2011 my entry visa was valid (expired in Sep-2011), but today I need to stay 5 additional months and my valid documents are my passport and my extension permit.

Can I re-apply for an extension?

Currently I'm in Canada (Quebec). Living with my daughter (get the citizenship 3 years ago).

Thanks in advance.

Extend your stay in Canada as a visitor
If you want to extend your stay in Canada, you must apply to do so. Check your temporary resident visa to make sure you apply before the expiry date. You should apply 30 days before your status expires to:

extend your visitor, student or work status,
change your permit type (for example, from a student permit to a work permit) or
change your permit condition (for example, if you are studying and you want to change schools, or if you are working and you want to change jobs).
