Default Extending the visitor status

Hi

My mother in law is visiting us in Canada. She came on December 24th
2005 and we already extended her visitor status once in June. Now her
status expires on December 24th 2006 and we are applying for another
extension.

I was going to say that my husband found a new job, we are going to
have a baby and the reason she wants to stay here longer is to be able
to help us with our 9 year-old daughter. However someone told me that
if we are going to write that they will not issue an extension because
this way my mother-in-law is taking a Canadian babysitter's potential
job.


Do you have any thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?

I appreciate your response very much.


Irina

Say it like it is. Paid babysitters aren't substitutes for
grandmothers. At what point does your mother-in-law cease to be a
visitor, and become a de facto resident of Canada? Give them a concrete
outline of your plans.

Why do you not submit a Humanitarian and Compassionate application to
sponsor her from within Canada based on Unusual and Undeserved Hardship
not anticipated by the act and regulations. She is no longer a visitor
and you seem to want her to remain permanently. Read IP5 section 6.7
then look at the processing times Inland 33 months to approve you as a
sponsor then click on overseas to ascertain how long from her visa post
will take. Probably 5 + years and if that is prompt processing which is
an objective of the IRPA she has a hardship not anticpated by the act
and regulations.

Check out www.sponsoryourparents.ca and see some of the sections of
IRPA CIC is not complying with. Try to find everything any politician
ever said about family reunification being a corner stone of the
Immigration act.

Good Luck

People get their parents here as visitors all the time to help them out
with the newborn. I know plentu of people who did that. Not sure how
true the babysitter theory.
