Extension of stay

[CheerUp_0316]

Good day! I hope someone can can help and give insight about my question. My mother came here last feb.10 as visitor and because of covid she cannot go back home yet. I applied for an extension last july1 but haven’t heard anything from IRCC yet. This month august is her sixth month of stay. So my question is, will there be a problem if she stay beyond the six month that shes allowed knowing that we already applied for an extension and is juat waiting for a response? And my mom was given visa until 2028 as well.. Thank you

She’s on implied status . Length of the visa validity doesn’t come into play, it’s how long she was given to stay on said visa

Thanks for the reaponse but will this situation cause her problem since she will be staying past sixth months without the extension being approved?

No she can stay until she hears about her extension.

Have you contacted IRCC to advise them that she returned home? a webform would be fine. There is no point processing the application at this point and you may avoid needing to pay for something like another medical.

Oh i didn’t know that, thanks for telling me. Will fill out a web form the soonest. Again thank you

We are in the similar situation and timelines. Did you hear anything back from IRCC?

No

If you apply to extend your stay in Canada before the date you’re supposed to leave, you can legally remain in Canada until a decision is made on your application. In this situation, you have implied status.
