My mother has waited years to apply for the super visa, she didn't meet the eligibility criteria. Finally she is able to apply and I'll be sending off her application this month. Now the dilemma, we don't want to lose this opportunity of getting the super visa so we need to make the right choice. (Assuming she does get the super visa approved)
My brother in the US just had a baby in the family and would like my mother to come over.
If my mother travels there and gets the super visa in the meantime, I am aware she can get her passport stamped in the US. Then she can come over to Canada to get it stamped at the border. However she cannot stay long in Canada, would this be a problem when they stamp her passport? Like a 1 month stay in Canada then going back to US. And since it will be a tourist visa for US, she can stay only 6 months max.
Or is it ok with the immigration officer at the border if she buys an open ticket so they give her a longer validity for her super visa? I'm afraid she gets only 1 month stay permit then has issue coming back to Canada at a later stage. Am I wrong in thinking that? Or this doesn't matter? Since a super visa when granted is valid until the passport expires.
Or would it be safer she doesn't go to US and completes her super visa process in her country of origin then travels to Canada first?
Is it ok to buy an open travel ticket after obtaining a super visa generally speaking or she has to buy a return ticket so it's a smooth process at the border when they stamp the passport?
