What is the appropriate amount of time between two visits?

My mum is on supervisa and she came here in Dec 2017 and she is leaving next month. How long does she have to stay in her home country before she can revisit Canada? I heard if she comes back too quickly she might be refused entry at POE...

There's no official rule. It's a case to case basis + the CBSA officer's mood. But the recommendation here is 6-12 months at least, or the same amount of time previously spent in Canada. In your mother's case, I personally would say 12 months at the very least. The bottom line is that your mother shouldn't be living in Canada, or appear to be doing so, on a temporary resident visa.

My parents come come every 2 to 3 months. No issues in the last 5 years.. They are on a tourist visa.
