Will super visa refusal affect current valid visitor visa?

My mother in law has a multiple entry visitor visa that is valid and expire in about 8 years time. We just attempted to apply for a super visa for her so she can stay for a longer period of time per visit. Unfortunately, the super visa is refused.

My question is, will this refusal of super visa affect the validity of her current visitor visa. If she wants to visit Canada next month, can she do it on her visitor visa even though she just got rejected for super visa?

Please help and advise if anybody else had been in similar situations. Thank you very much!

No impact on her TRV.

The reason for the supervisa denial could cause problems when entering Canada. Why was she denied the supervisa?

Thank you for your kind advise. She was denied for these reasons:
  1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
  2. The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.


Below is the full extract of the refusal letter. Although I applied for supervisa, in the refusal letter it mentioned visitor visa. However, before the application of the supervisa - she is already holding a valid visitor visa for multiple entries.


Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa (visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing your application.

Thanks @Naturgrl for your prompt response! It is comforting to know that. But may I please know if this is an absolute rule regardless of the situation? As in some policies or technicalities that states that current visas will never be affected by later applications? Or are you speaking from experience?

I definitely trust your opinion but I just want to be sure before I get a ticket for her only for her to be stuck at the borders especially when she doesn't know English at all! Thank you very much for your help and advise!

The original TRV has not been cancelled. If she is allowed to board a plane, then she should be okay. She doesn’t want to be viewed as living in Canada. When did she leave Canada. If within the last month, she should wait a few more months.

Thank you for the response. The last time she visited and left Canada was 3 years ago. So hopefully that doesn't raise any red flags.

Make sure she has a return ticket and has proof of a home to return to. That will help alleviate any concerns if she is stopped. There is clearly concerns that she will try to move to Canada.
