visitor extension questions

[MathToStat]

My dear friends, I have some questions about visitor extensions. I looked at similar threads on forum and was wondering if you could help me confirm my understanding is correct.

(1) While we are in the implied status (i.e., we have pasted the 6 month' time since the last entry and we have applied for visitor extension), we cannot leave Canada until the decision on our extension application is made. Is that correct?

(2) If we are required to complete a medical exam for extension, we can travel back to our home country to complete and send the result to CIC. When we come to Canada next time, we need to bring the exam results with us. Is that correct?

(3) If we apply to restore our status, we again need to stay in Canada until the decision on our restoration application is made. Is that correct?

Thank you very much in advance!

1- you can, but if you leave Canada before the decision is made, you loose the status, and the application will be cancelled.
2.- no, you have to take the medical exam within Canada. again if you leave Canada you loose the status.
2b.- restore what status? you are in the implied status, remember if you leave Canada, your status is ended and you have to do immigration and custom again.

For (1), if I leave Canada when I am in implied status, will it affect my future entry into Canada? I remember seeing somewhere in this forum that it will.

for 2b (sorry my typo, it is actually (3)), if after 6 months, I do not apply for extension, then according to the recent rule on Covid 19, people can restore their visitor status anytime until Dec 31, 2020. So that is why I asked for question about restoration.

Again thank you so much and please correct my misunderstanding if there is any.

1.- according to my small experience, if you leave Canada, it will not affect your future entry. it will depend the agent, you should say amid Corona ().
now 2.- yes, normaly IRCC gives 90 days to ask for a restoration. if you apply for an extension, after 5 months the decision is not made yet, you have to ask for a new extension. I don't know about the Covid-19 situation.
I hope I could have helped you.

You can do the medical exam abroad if you have already returned home by the time you get the extension.
