Extended Visitor Visa Question
My mother (ETA passport holder) visited last year, however on the border she was only given 2 out of the 6 months that people normally get likely because she didn't speak English and the kiosks didn't have any language she can understand and had made a mistake to call me when she was declaring what she is carrying (she wasn't carrying anything illegal, just called me at the kiosks which was flagged).. Those 2 months ended in November and we wanted her to stay until at least Christmas. She left the day after Christmas. We submitted an extension request and paid the fee to IRCC, however that is still sitting sitting as processing in their system. The fact that it is sitting as open is concerning to me as she left a long time ago and this ticket might assume she is still in the country (even though I attached a letter of explanation clearly stating when she will leave and she left..). Can you please give me any advice on this situation - so that it doesn't cause us any issues if she decides to visit this autumn/winter? We also had a child last year and will have another one hopefully this year so having her here is really crucial for us. Thank you
