Hi Folks,
I am in the process of applying a visitor visa for my mother and I am a bit confused while preparing the invitation letter. Let's say if I mention the duration of the trip as 2 months in the invitation letter and the visa is approved ( A really big assumption, I know
). When the time comes to travel, would the CBSA officer only allow her to stay for 2 months, or she can stay longer (3-4 months) if she wants. The reason for keeping the duration as 2 months is as currently the processing time in her country is quite high and realistically, she can be here only from July till September as she needs to be back home by mid-September. But in case, the processing time comes down in the first quarter of 2026, she might be able to get her visa processed by April-May and then can travel sooner and stay here longer.
Cheers,
TFR

It will be decided upon entry. If her passport isn't stamped then she may stay up to 6 months. Two months is a long visit. She should be showing a considerable amount of cash in the bank for that length of visit and absolute ties to return.Hi Folks,

Hi ,
You got any updates regarding your application. I applied on 2 November. After biometrics nothing showed.
But status went in progress & again in process.
How long was her visit? Funds? What ties did she show to return (job, children under 22, business, income property)?
So stay is way too long because shows no ties to return. No real ties to return but want to show around $10k for a 2-3 week visit. If PR, then look at supervisa for that length of visa. Any visit for 6 months or more then is supervisa.
