Hi @Naturgrl, the OP is a different member, misra87....

Yes, applied from within Canada, 2 days before expiry.

Your mom is on "implied status" until she receives a decision on her application for extension. I was surprised too as I was expecting like 5 or 6 months online processing. 10th day from app, she received med req, and 2 days after is the 1 year extension approval while med is still pending.

12 days

Just wanna share that might benefit others. Applied for my mom's extension of stay as a regular visitor, 2 days prior to expiry. Applied for less than 6 months in the form, and got approved for 1 year. I think that's how they do it now based on some other posts. There is an outstanding medical...

Couldn't she just buy return ticket when asked and could still board?

Hi, thank you all for your reply. Mom has one way ticket for now as we don't wanna go through the hassle of changing flights. But based on others' experience, I certainly will purchase a separate return ticket for her. Thanks a lot for everybody's input.

Thank you all for your response. Just a follow up question, did the officer ask your return ticket?

Hi. For those who have travelled to Canada with Visitor Visa, can you please share your experience as to the questions typically being asked at the port of entry? Mom is travelling and she's retired and speaks native language, uncomfortable with English, so it will be great to know in order to...

Some get automatically withdrawn per posts in other thread. My mom's wasn't. Application through GC Key in July 2021 still pending while the one via IRCC in Jan 2022 got approved.

Biometrics Validity Letter

Your parents will receive request for biometrics from IRCC shortly from applying. That document is required to complete biometrics.

Hmmmmm. For "both business AND tourism", meaning you can go on a holiday while you are still legally on a temporary stay in Canada after being sent by your employer overseas. Should be supported by your employer overseas maybe? Might be a different topic but poses equal importance. Years back...

An invitation letter from you, addressed to IRCC will make the application more stronger.
