Apply for another extension if you want to make sure she has valid status until she leaves Canada.

Thank you . Is this the only option we have? We have applied for extension and I was assuming it will be 6 months extension. So I was assuming she could stay until April 2022. She was supposed to leave by Jan 29th, but due to omicron, we postponed her travel.

It's the only option you have if you want to keep her status in Canada legal until she leaves. Extensions aren't guaranteed to be granted for six months. It's not unusual to get a shorter period of time.

The other option would be simply for her to stay without extending her status. This shouldn't be a big deal provided she isn't going to return immediately and provided there's no chance she is going to end up staying longer for some reason.

Thanks for your prompt response. They also asked for Medicals for extension. So can we apply the another extension when we have to complete the Medicals for previous one yet.

You need to complete the medicals for the first extension. The first extension was approved conditionally with the requirement to complete the medical. If you don't complete the medical, this will impact the first approval. Definitely get the medical done

Hi.. where do you get the medical if asked?
And how much does it cost to get it done?
