Overstay on Visitor Visa for few days

[BK Virk]

Hi
I am 60 years old grandmother visiting my children on Visitor Visa and my 180 days will be completed soon, I booked my return flight on 178th day from entry in Canada, but It got cancelled, now I have booked another flight which will cause 5 days of overstay in Canada, So now I have to stay for 185 days instead of 180 days.
My concern is that will it affect my entry in Canada or PR/Super Visa application in Future?

No, a five day overstay for this kind of reason will cause no issue at all. Just keep records of the flight cancellation and the new flight. And don't worry about it

Always an interesting debate on what the actual definition is of 6 months is it 180 days or 365/2 so 182.5 days ? On the IRCC site it implies visitors can stay for 6 months so I personally would go with the 365/2 definition but guess everyone can decide themselves given plenty of non IRCC sites imply 180 days.

Anyway as 21 goose implies a few days over not an issue especially when out of someones control.
