Can my dad stay longer than 6months?

[Alireza1234]

Dear friend
My dad came to Canada on Visitor visa and he is allowed to stay for six months. I want to keep him in Canada longer as back home is not as safe as Canada. I wonder if anyone have some idea that what I can do or where I should send my request to get permission and extend his stay. Thanks.

Your father got very lucky that his visa wasn't cancelled after you and your sister filed for asylum. You seem to be asking if he can stay long term. The fact that you both claimed asylum may cause issues when it comes to visitor extensions and still remains a temporary situation. As a visitor he will need to return home at a certain point. You or your sister would only qualify for the parent sponsorship program once you are PRs and you've earned a certain amount of income for 3 years and it may take years to get selected.

Think you are underestimating having many close family members apply for asylum. He certainly has a better chance than others in a similar situation because he has returned home many times.

Its still a flag to immigration, regardless whether you feel it isn’t . Immigration looks at the big picture, you & your siblings are in that picture

My question is about how to apply to extend his stay, not if he will get it or not in future. No one can say the result of his future application except the officer will decide. So lets just talk about the topic. Thanks.
