SuperVisa Questions

Dear Seniors,

I would appreciate some clarity on what my parents just experienced.
  • I had applied for a SuperVisa for them about 3 years ago.
  • They arrived to Canada on the SuperVisa and got 2 years entry for the first time. They left within a period of a year.
  • Now, they came back this month and the officer only gave them a 6 months stay! They said you should have extended the SuperVisa the first time around ?! What does that even mean ?! The maximum they could give was only 6 months.
Guys - I bought the tickets for my parents 11 months into the future. They only now have 6 months on their entry. My options I believe are the following, can someone advise?

  • Change their ticket date
  • Drive to the US border and hope that the Canadian side extends their visa for another 6 months? Would this work? They have US visitor visas
    • Buy a flight ticket to a US city and then re-enter Canada - if driving wouldn't work.
  • The agent mentioned that after the 5th month - I can apply for an extension. Can someone please share any experience on this? Where do I apply? What duration do they extend for?

Is this correct treatment? Have we done something incorrectly? I don't really know what extending the Supervisa at their previous stay means? They were leaving within 2 years - how does it make sense to extend it further.

MANY thanks in advance for anyone that might be able to reply. Thank you ...
