Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[danny_scars]

Need inputs/help:
My parents sponsorship application, received on June 25, 2019, still at AOR stage and no movement.
My parents are in Canada on Visitor visa for last 1 year and I have applied for their extension, IRCC asked for medical which was done and accepted

Question:
My mothers visitor visa which is valid for 10 years, is expiring as well. Can we apply for Visitor Visa for her (not the extension) from within Canada or she has to return to home country to apply for same?
Thanks!

My mom's super visa also expired in Oct 2020 and when I inquired, I was told I could only extend her visitor status from within Canada. In other words, to get another 10 years she would need to leave and apply again.
Now, with that said, we we were already half way through PGP process and even with a 10 year visa she can only stay for up to 2 years at a time (and you never know how long the border officer will allow them to stay, might be as short as 6 months) I decided to just extend her visitor visa - for a year.
You seem to be on the same boat so hopefully this helps

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing good.

I have a problem please address ASAP if you can help. Thanks.

My mother got PCC request recently from London office. We got the PCC from home country and since shes in Canada on super visa for over 2 years so need PCC for Canada. When we went to request her PCC they took her biometrics (finger prints) since shes 60+ her finger prints weren't coming properly. Tried several times but still her prints on the fingers are missing. They took finger stamp on paper but not sure RCMP will accept or not.

What should be done now?

My friend went and they applied online and gave him a tracking ID.. Its more than 20 days now and haven't got the PCC.. Should i email London office and request extension for another 30 days ? Can someone please share your experience how to get the PCC from Karachi. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for taking time to share your inputs.
What I understand is, even if the visitor visa(TRV) expires, visitor extension can be sought.
We have already applied for extension twice but my understanding was you need to have valid TRV to apply for extension but reading your post above, I understand that even if your TRV is expired, you can still apply for extension from within canada and can be granted. Thanks!

oh absolutely. twice i extended my mom's stay with expired visas, one in 2016 that she was here on a V1 and then last year with the Super Visa.
Now I never extended it consecutively, more than once from within Canada. But if you already done it twice, I can't see why they would bug you for extending a third time. Plus your PGP is from June 2019, right? soooooo close!!! Good luck!

u shouldn't send PCC from Canada, only countries where your mom spent over 6 months (within the last 10 years) except Canada

are we sure about this? in the link it says no. but didnt mention which category. If not then will IRCC or CBSA conduct police check on it own to determine there is no criminal history in Canada?

just spoke with an ircc agent and she said you do need to get a Canadian PCC since your mom has lived for more than 6 months in Canada.
