Hi

My mother in law was given 7 year Supervisa. She came in June 2014.
Apparently in my knowledge she can stay upto maximum of 2 yr per visit. And than return back India. And than she can come again for another 2 yr.

So my question is. Can we extend her stay till January 2017?
If not, can she simply go to US as we have relatives there? Because technically she is exiting Canada.
If she obliged to leave Canada after 2 yr of her initial visit here?

Thank you in advance

I think going to US and coming back should work..but rather confirm from immigration...

Thank you stariptv

Yes ... it can be done and it is legal. Let her go to USA not for one day or few hours but ... for couple of days atleast and then return to Canada.

Thank you very much Gurram.

watch out..: BE INFORMED

RULES do change and they will also provide ample time to get to know them. So, I am providing here-under this the subtle changes that you must get to know prior to exit and re-entry. So, call and ask, and do it right here BEFORE DEPARTURE.

BORDER CROSSING..:
Citizens of Other Countries.. (Who are not U.S.Citizens or Canadians.)
Generally, if you're not a Canadian or U.S. citizen, you require a valid passport or visa to enter Canada. There are two exceptions:

U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents may use their I-551 ("Green Card" -- instead of a passport -- for travel between Canada and the United States, by air, land, or sea. The I-551 is accepted for entry to Canada, from the U.S.; a U.S. permanent resident does not require a visa to visit Canada, regardless of citizenship. When re-entering the U.S., permanent residents must present their I-551. Note that starting March 15, 2016, U.S. Permanent Residents will require Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada.

Residents of Greenland and St. Pierre and Miquelon may enter Canada from those territories with proof of citizenship and identity. If they enter from any other country, a passport is mandatory.
Visitors from some countries may also require a Temporary Resident Visa in order to visit Canada, which you may apply for through a visa office in your own country. Sometimes other documentation will be asked for as well, such as a letter of invitation from a Canadian resident.

Visit Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website to find out what applies to your situation, or visit the web site of the Canadian embassy, consulate, or high commission in your home country for detailed information on what you need to enter Canada. You can also contact the embassy with any questions.

For travelers who do not require a visa, Canada now has a traveler pre-approval program called the Electronic Travel Authorization (like ESTA in the United States or ETA in Australia). Starting March 15, 2016, this entry requirement becomes mandatory. See paragraph at top of article.

Travelers who are dual citizens of Canada or U.S and another country do not require an eTA. However, they need to hold a valid Canadian or U.S passport when entering Canada.

Returning Canadian Citizens
What you'll need for border crossings on your trip depends on where you're going:

Travel to/from the United States: see United States: Crossing the Border for requirements, or Know Your Border (an official U.S. Customs and Border Protection web site).
Travel directly to/from Mexico: As of March 1, 2010, Canadian citizens require a passport to visit Mexico. (Prior to March, it's still strongly recommended, and most airlines already require a passport to board the flight.) See also Mexico: Crossing the Border.

Travel to/from any other country: Check the country's entry requirements -- you will usually require a passport, and may also require a visa. Also, your airline will likely require you to have a passport to board the flight.

Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada offers a full traveller's checklist to help you prepare for your trip.

Entering Canada: General Tips and Special Situations
Interview by Border Officer
Carrying the required documents does not guarantee admission into Canada. Visitors will also undergo an interview with a Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer upon arrival to determine admissibility into the country. These interviews are generally short, and will be easier if you are sure to keep your relevant documentation close at hand.

A border screening agent will ask some or all of the following questions, "Where do you live? Citizens of what country? What is the purpose of your visit? How long will you be staying? Are you bringing anything to leave (gifts, etc)? Are you bringing in any firearms, tobacco or alcohol? Do you have any criminal convictions?" If travelling with children, you may also be asked, " Do your children have proof of identity?" To avoid delay, be prepared with simple straightforward answers to the questions. Remove any sunglasses, and look the agent in the eye when answering. If the agent has reason to suspect the validity of your answers, especially regarding identity, firearms, tobacco and alcohol, you will be asked to pull over and report inside the main customs building where you must produce identity papers and will likely undergo a vehicle search ? all of which can be very time consuming.

PLEASE KEEP ALL THE E-MAILS AND LETTERS WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE CROSSING...(IMPORTANT)

Also.: From the Ministry...:
I am replying to your e-mail of July 3, 2013, addressed to the Honourable Jason Kenney, former Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, regarding Super Visa. I apologize for this delayed reply.

As you know CIC has introduced the ?Parent and Grandparent Super Visa,? which will be valid for up to 10 years. This multiple-entry visa will allow an applicant to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status. The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, which came into effect on December 1, 2011, will allow CIC to issue visas, on average, within eight weeks of the application. This means that instead of waiting through many years of processing, a parent or a grandparent may be able to Canada within eight weeks.

In order to qualify, parents and grandparents must undergo a medical examination, they must purchase Canadian medical insurance, and their child or grandchild in Canada must meet the minimum income threshold. All of the other regular requirements for parents and grandparents to come to Canada on a visitor visa have not changed.

With regard to your concerns, please note that all applicants must meet the basic requirements when applying for a Super Visa. For a complete list of all eligibility requirements, please visit our Web site.

I trust that the information provided is of assistance.

Sincerely,


B. Sultana
Ministerial Enquiries Division
