Hey,
My Mother is on a visitor visa; she has stayed in Canada for 5 months on a visitor visa. She is planning a trip to India and thinking of returning back to Canada on Supervisa. Does she need to stay for a minimum number of days in India?

There usually isn’t a fixed minimum number of days she must stay outside Canada before returning on a Super Visa, but entry is never guaranteed. CBSA will still look at whether she is genuinely visiting, her travel history, ties to India, insurance, finances, and whether she appears to be living in Canada permanently instead of visiting.
Since she already stayed 5 months and plans to return soon, it may be smart to carry proof of Super Visa validity, medical insurance, return plans, financial support, and reason for visit. If unsure, speak with an immigration consultant/lawyer before travel. You can still reach out to an immigration consultant to get confirmation.

As others have pointed out she is only visiting Canada while her home is India. Would be much better if she spent at a minimum a few months in India reestablishing her ties before applying for a supervisa and even waited to get it stamped in India so when she attempted to visit Canada again she would have spent at least 5 months on her home country before trying to reenter Canada again. In general many are mistaking a supervisa as a permanent move to Canada and trying to remain in Canada via applying for H&C (and appealing if denied), overstaying their visit, etc. This problem will likely get a lot worse because it is very difficult to secure PR for parents and there is a huge demand so I would expect IRCC and CBSA to try to ensure parents still have a home to return to in their home country and are spending time there between visits to Canada. Setting up a history of doing this should help a parent be able to keep visiting Canada.
