my father is a spanish citizen and he stayed here in canada for 6 months ( no need of Visa) before he finished his 6 months of staying here in canada, we applied for extension, and fortunately the immigration give him another 1 year to stay here in canada. My question is, this August he is planning to go to US for a visit for just 1 week, and go back here in canada after 1 week vacation in US. So i was thinking if the extension i still valid? because the Immigration gave him until april 2015.

Yes, travelling between the US and Canada is allowed under the same entry.
 
you mean, the extension is still valid when he enter again in Canada? he can stay until april 2015? the Immigration of US and Immigration of Canada will not stamp his passport? Thanks for the reply.

If you have a single-entry visa this allows you to enter Canada once. If you leave Canada during your authorized stay, you must get a new visitor visa to re-enter Canada, unless you visit the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon. If you visit those places, you can return to Canada without a new visa, as long as you:
return within the period that the Canadian immigration officer initially authorized when you first entered Canada (on your visa, it is either a handwritten date or 6 months from the date of the entry stamp); or
have a valid visitor record, work permit, study permit or temporary resident permit (authorizing re-entry), and return within the period that the officer initially authorized.
