Dear seniors,
My parents have super visa that is going to expire in May 2016(till passport validity, they got it for 5 years), as we are planning to move to Canada what is the best possible way to extend or renew the visa, is it possible to reapply or extend it from within Canada if that is not the case can we reapply for visa from Pakistan if it is still valid for an year or so.

I am planning to move to Canada till March 2015 so the idea is to get the visa for the longest time possible to avoid coming back to Pakistan and then re-applying from here as it takes almost 3 months to process the visa and I am not sure if there is any chance of rejection as well, it will be difficult to manage if I start a job in Canada, I can understand that they require the super visa holders to go back to home country after 2 years and then they can comeback.

Your advice will be highly appreciated

Captain
Hi,

From my own experience, you need to do it from outside of Canada and it doesn't have to be from home country. You would go through the whole process. If your parents' medical exams have been expired, then they have to do another medical exam.

Hi Every one

I applied for parents super visa second time. First time I did online but they lost the application and cancelled it by mistake and then rejected as they lost all associated attached documents. This time I applied through VFS.
1- We applied on Sep 30 , with upfront medical completed on Sep 24.
2- No response till yesterday i.e Dec 7 i.e after more than 70 days . I sent email through inquiry option on website and got response immediately that application in process and they waiting for response to medical request sent on Oct 30.
3- I checked back and I missed that email by chance. I replied back that we done upfront medical already and is there need to do medical again. Got immediate response yesterday that it has been updated and medical has been found so no need to go for medical again.
4- To be on safe side , I dispatched copies of Upfront medical again with cover letter through VFS office .
5- Question is that will they take 4 weeks from yesterday to process visa. As principally it was their fault that they missed the medical results which were attached with application and may be ours too who missed their email and did not re-notify them about upfront medical ?.
6- What are the procedures ( background check or security check) left after they send medical request and whether they start working on those outstanding procedures immediately or wait for medical results to receive?
7- Any chance visa will be rejected as if they have to reject visa on any thing then they might have done it in past 70 days.

Waiting for yours thoughts so I can plan things accordingly.
Thanks

They issued my mom 4 years visa too, however, a year after we found out that Islamabad usually give normal trv instead of super visa. We applied for super visa. Check the type of visa on her passport. Usually regular visa will be stamped for 6 months when she enters in Canada and then you will have to extend within Canada.

Hi,
I'm in the middle of applying for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa for my mother-in-law who is already in Canada on Visitor visa. As per the checklist generated by the wizard on CIC website, I need to submit IMM5708 along with other supporting documents. I have the following clarifications regarding the form IMM5708.
1) For question number 3 in the form there are 3 options to choose from.
a.Extension of my temporary resident visa
b.Restoration of temporary resident status as a visitor
c.Initial temporary resident permit or extension of temporary resident permit
I'm assuming the most appropriate option would be to choose option ‘c' since we are applying for a new temporary visa (super visa) and are also extending my mother-in-law's stay. Please let me know if the assumption and the option chosen is correct for our situation.

2) Assuming that we have to choose option ‘c' as stated above, when I fill the form and upload the form online on CIC website, following error message is thrown and I'm unable to upload the form.

To apply for a temporary resident permit, please complete the application on paper and submit it to a CIC office. When applying online, please ensure that the checkbox titled “initial temporary resident permit or extension of temporary resident permit” is not checked on the application form.

Please let me know if any of you had faced this problem. The application needs to be submitted as soon as possible and any thoughts/ comments/suggestions is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It is clear in their message, on-line application does not apply for option"C".
