Hi All, I have a few questions and really appreciate your valuable input:
1. We just received a new passport for my mom as her old one is going to expire in Feb 2022. Do we need to update CIC and how?
2. She has been in Canada with a super visa since Oct 2019 and I assume she has to leave within 24 months as per the guideline of a super visa. How she can get an extension so she can avoid going back in this pandemic time (and hope that her sponsorship will be approved by then)? BTW, her original super visa was issued until Feb 2022 (as per her old passport expiry date).
Thank you in advance.
Send scan copy of new passport using IRCC Webform.
 
FINALLY, i got this today. I think it is good news......but Vietnam is in lockdown now so not sure how this will turn out........we will send the passport to VFS office in Vietnam.

"New (and returning) residents are required to complete a wait period consisting of the balance of the month in which residence in British Columbia is established, plus two months before benefits can begin."

There's a bit of misinformation here. New BC residents will have to wait at most 3 months to get MSP.
If you arrive on Aug 1st, your MSP will be activated on Nov 1st.
If you arrive on Aug 31st, your MSP will still be activated on Nov 1st.

To save on private insurance, plan to arrive near the end of the month,

Check the requirement of provincial health to be qualified if you need the medical care. Some provinces like BC requires the person to be resident at least for six months.

In addition to this, there is residency requirement to continue to have msp coverage:
