Hi All,

My Father in Law came to Canada last year on a 10 year Multiple Visitor Visa. We got one extension for another 6 months back in December which will expire in August. Due to the current COVID situation in India we are not comfortable to send if back even if the international flights resume. In the wake of this situation can we apply for another extension for another 6 months. As per the rules you can only get extension once but when i called the CIC call center they said you can apply given the current situation.

My only worry is will it affect any future applications of Visitor Visa, Super Visa or Permanent Residence since we have requested another extension against the rules.

There is no rule stating you can only get an extension once.

Yes - you can apply for another extension.

There is no rule that its only one extenstion, if you provide enough information and ties back to your country the chances of approval for further extension provided if you have met visa obligations such as visitor visa stamped on the passport meets the extension date. or if your visa exempt. I have been and also currently in the same situation as you. I am hoping for another extension as well.
