Wrong visa

[Husazi01]

We applied for super visa for my mother. The visa was approved. Upon arrival in Canada the immigration officer told that my mother does not have the super visa. She got a multiple entry 10 year visa and she cannot stay for more than 6 months at a time. How can I fix that?

What's the Category on her visa? Is it PG-1 or V-1?

 

[Husazi01]

It is a v-1

Your mom has a regular TRV which allows her to remain for 6 months (if there's no date under the entry stamp). She does not have a super visa (PG-1 category).

It's possible that by oversight you did not select 'Super visa: For parents and grandparents' for the Question: Purpose of visit of the TRV application form. Hence, your mom was assessed for a regular TRV.


You can either:
1. Reapply for a super visa from her home country when she returns home, or

2. Apply to extend her authorized stay for up to 2 years on her current visit/entry on the TRV. The eligibility criteria is similar to that of a super visa

If we apply to extend her stay then does that mean she will have to do another medical or the one she did to get her V-1 visa is enough.

CPC-Vegreville will let you know whether new medicals are required or not

No, as long as she hasn't left Canada for 6 months to a scheduled country.

@RVarghese

It's not possible to guess whether you will get a TRV or not. You can certainly try. You must prove your strong ties to your home country (employment, property or land ownership, good financial situation, previous travel history, etc).

If you are approved, you could be given a short validity TRV
