Hi Friends,
I applied for super visa for my mom, I fulfilled all the criteria for applying before, like Income requirement, Invitation letter, Insurance for 1 year of 1 Lakh CAD.
My Mother got medical, and the same was done in Apollo International, Ahmedabad. She received her Visa under super visa (PG-1) category on 2nd august 2013, but the only thing, I am not able to understand is, that she got the visa only for 6 months. The issue date is 2nd August 2013 & expiry date is 30th January 2014 for the visa
Her passport expiry is on 2021,then what should be the reason.
This is really beyond the logic, that when I had paid for the insurance for the whole year,Even paid $150 visa fees for multiple entry and the SUPER VISA rules says that the visa are for 10 years then, How can the visa issued only for for 6 months???????????
I am really worried for the same as, now I am wondering that should I book the one way ticket or Round trip for my mom. However, I am also wondering that if the Delhi Visa officers are on strike, so Now whom to contact for this.
When I called to Canada Immigration on 1888-242-2100, for the same, they asked me to called to New Delhi office for clarification as this can be a mistake, because usually the PG-1 category multiple visa are stamped for 10 years or it can be before the expiry date of passport, whichever is earlier
Please suggest me the way to get rid out this problem, As I find no way to sort this out. I do value all your suggestions.
Thank you.

Take advantage of the visa that your Mom has been given . Here is a suggestion to you. :
If she only intends to stay for SIX months, then, buy an OPEN return ticket with ONE YEAR Validity . No one will book one way ticket with a six month visa.
If she wants to stay here for an year, you can extend the same after SIX Months. She can leave when the ticket is expiring the next year. You also have an years worth of health Insurance to cover her stay. Extension Cost $60.00 +
You have time between now and an year hence and see if you can start a correspondence with CHC in Delhi and get it all straightened out. It will be difficult as the Passport will have to sent to India, and that is not possible.
If she intends staying for longer than an year, you can find out from the CHC in New Delhi after the strike gets over. Hopefully before X-Mas this year.
Make sure all your correspondence is sent through COURIER, and do not spare the expense. Also Keep a copy in her file.
Book her a return ticket and Bon Voyage.

Here is some additional information... :
Parents and Grandparents – Authorized Period of Extended Stay :
About the authorized period of extended stay
On November 4, 2011, CIC announced a temporary pause on all new sponsorship applications for the parents and grandparents category. With the introduction of this pause, CIC implemented an Authorized Period of Extended Stay for up to two years for applicants seeking to extend their visit with their child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
This Authorized Period of Extended Stay allows visitors to stay for a period of up to two years.
Note: Parents and grandparents already in Canada on a temporary resident status may apply for a two-year extended stay through the Case Processing Centre-Vegreville (CPC-V) by using this application package.
Ask for an application package for extending Temporary Resident Visa. One copy for each.
