SUPER VISA OR REGULAR VISITOR VISA?

[ttpham]

Hi guys,

My mom has been granted a multiple entry visa with the expired date up until 2020.

I am wondering whether this visa considered a super visa or a regular visitor visa? How can I classify them?
Is it OK if I buy a 9-month-round-trip ticket for her?
I have been told that someone with long-term visa had been stopped at the custom gate of departure country with this kinda flight ticket and I don't really understand why did that come about.

Any idea is very appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance.

What did she apply for? A visit visa or a super visa? As part of the application process, did you have to prove that you meet LICO (low income cut off)? Did she have to take a medical?

She applied for visitor visa with multiple entry. I didn't have to prove that LICO and she didn't have to take any medical check either.
Her visa is most likely a visitor visa, I supposed.

And if she is a visitor visa holder, is it ok for her to buy a 9-month-round-trip flight ticket since her visa expired date is up until 2020?

Thanks.

Yes - she has a regular visit visa.

I don't know if it's OK to book a 9 month round trip flight. Hopefully someone else can comment. Although she has a multiple entry visa good for 10 years, when she enters Canada, she will only be given a six month visit. If she wants to stay longer, she will have to apply for an extension (no guarantee that extension will be approved).

Sure - but it's illegal to work in Canada while here on a super visa or a visit visa. You need a work permit.

Hi scylla,

Thanks for your comment.

Actually, I've already bought her that round trip flight ticket that may be a trouble or even prevent her from boarding flight by the officers. It's really a carelessness of my mind.

Is there any way I am able to apply for an extension of her stay, 9 months for instance, before her arrival to Canada in order for me not to change the ticket? Or I am only able to do that during her stay in Canada? Any other suggestion?

Hi cardoz,

I believe tax payers are very welcome by any government. But don't even think of working under the table or something illegal which many guys come here and do. It would ruin everything you've built.

You can only apply to extend her stay once she is in Canada.
