My parents' visitor visa expires in September this year. My husband is working abroad, and I have a 6-year-old kid living with me. My parents are helping me look after my kid while I'm away at work. I'm very skeptical of what reason I should mention in the visitor visa extension application. The immigration consultant is asking me around CAD 1000 for the application, which I see as exaggerated. Could anyone please help me find a good reason for a visa extension? I appreciate your help.

You don’t need to pay a consultant or lawyer to submit a visitor record or a new TRV. Save the money and apply on your own. It is unclear if you are asking about extending their visit or applying for a new visa. When did they enter Canada and was there a date indicated on their passport? How much time have they spent visiting Canada in the past few years? Would your income and your spouse’s Canadian income (that would count towards LICO) qualify for a supervisa?
Hello, whats the situation on wait times? like IRCC says 315 days processing, can someone please confirm my mother's fate if:
1. Visa expires 2032 - multiple entry
2. landed Aug 5 2025, submitted (and received confirmation of receipt) Jan 7 2026
3. requested extension to stay, and leave Canada Jan 7 2027
4. if mom receives no decision then leaves Jan 2027, when is she able to come back again? is there a certain number of days you are maxed to stay in canada per time frame or calendar year? Can she come back say, Aug 2027 without any paperwork?
thanks!

She may get a decisions before the 315 days. If she leaves before she gets an answer she should notify IRCC. She may still be required to do another medical even if she has already left Canada because she would have benefited from additional time visiting Canada. If a medical is requested and she doesn’t complete it expect problems either visiting Canada or getting another visa. If she wants to visit Canada for over 6 months at a time she should consider applying for a supervisa. She can attempt to visit again at any point but she is a visitor and should be spending significant time in her home country. If for example she does remain in Canada and leaves in January 2027 she should not try to visit Canada the next week/month. If she does it will appear as though she is visiting her home country and attempting to live in Canada. Like any visitor when attempting to enter Canada she will be assessed based on ties to her home country (for eg. dependent family members, property especially a home, etc), savings and her ability to fund her visit, proof of return ticket especially on a regular TRV which allows you to visit for up to 6 months or if no return ticket an explanation why she doesn’t have a return ticket, etc.
