PGP Super Visa: Re-entry to Canada from U.S.

[tameez1985]

Hi All,

My parents are visiting me here in Canada on a super visa. Here are the details:

Visa Validity: 20/11/2012 - 14/09/2015
Entry Stamp: 22/01/2013 - 22/01/2015

Instead of returning to their home country before their exit date of 22/01/2015, we are thinking if we could visit the U.S. and come back on let's say 15/02/2015. The idea is to fully utilize the PGP Super Visa time till 14/09/2015 without the hassle of going all the way back to our home country.

Has anyone done this before? Would this be a problem at POE such as the CBSA officer claiming that my parents have not spent enough time outside of Canada to be eligible for re-entry or that the parents HAVE to necessarily return to the home country?

Appreciate any help.

Any takers?

You can request 2 years at POE however, they prefer ext requests - as re-entering from USA seems a deliberate ploy to extend even if the visit seems genuine. The reason I am saying this as with extensions, you need to upload different docs ( incl financial ) so they have ample time to study the request

Thanks User828. Appreciate your response.

Just to clarify we wont be requesting a 2 years entry at POE but 8 months or less since that would be the time left on the super visa at that time.

Also the idea of an extension sounds good but isn't that risky as well after already having been granted a 2 years entry?

Even if you enter Canada one day before the expiry date of your Super Visa, the officer can still authorize a stay of up to two years, provided that your passport will be valid for the duration of your stay in Canada.

Super visa extensions are common provided reasonable ground of extensions so relax and enjoy.
Secondly I am in the same boat, applied for extension.
