AOA. Here's a problem. I am trying to send attached files to ldnimmigration @ international.gc.ca File is 22.20MB.for proof of continuous marriage. Each time there is failure notice. Also tried london-im-inquiry @ international.gc.ca but same notice. Now what to do? Web does not take more than 3 MB as tried to send scan by scan.
make ur files jpeg and resize them a bit, then throw them in a word file instead of a pdf... use a email service that allows 10mb file or more...

Check the CIC site. You will find the details. You just have to fill the visitor visa extension form n also provide the details of her funds and maybe they will ask for a medical and insurance. But it's good if you attach all that with her application. It's recommended to apply about 30 days before she runs out of status BUT you can apply until the last day but not after her time of stay is over. She has applied status until they make a decision about her application.

I found this. I hope it's helpful.

if you want to appy online to extend your stay in canada, these are the steps:-

YOU CAN START FROM HERE: cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend/visa.asp

First determine your eligibility to apply online (cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp)
step 1: Fill out the complete questionnaire
Step 2: on the completion of step 1 you will get a CODE, Write it down on a paper
step 3: create a Mycic account using the above CODE ( following the instructions while creating account)
step 4: Based on your questionnaire you answered in step 1, your Mycic account will automatically be consisting the application forms which you have to submit ( download them)
step 5: upload all the forms,your photo and documents and pay your fee in your Mycic account
Step 6: once everything completed Submit your application for processing.

-uploading supporting documents: scan them all, paste them in a word document file and upload them.
-After submitting wait for the outcome, they will notify about any updates in your Mycic account by sending you an email.
-Applying online will save your time as paper applications have longer processing times.

Hope it helps.
