I am thinking to apply extension for my mother's stay with us. I am just wondering which option is best:


1. Is it easy to apply and get extension here in Canada? Will she having problem next time while coming from India because of extension last time?

2. What is the reason mostly people give/make sense for applying extension?

3. Will she visit US (having visa) for few days and come back here and then she will get extension?

Thanks,

Yes, it is fairly easy, if you apply around the 4 month mark, she should get the extension before the visa expires.

She should not have a problem, hen she applies again


2. What is the reason mostly people give/make sense for applying extension?

Spend time wih family/kids (not sure if a reason is required)

3. Will she visit US (having visa) for few days and come back here and then she will get extension?

Thanks,

US visits will not make a difference, as long as you apply for extension in time and obtain it

Thanks freakoutguy.

One last questions.. how many times can you get extension on visitor visa ( I think in US it's only once then you have to leave country)?

In Canada, you can apply for visa extension once.
