I would appreciate any help in understanding this situation:
If a visitor applied for extension while in Canada, and then left Canada and comeback while the application still in process. The extension application was later approved but the expiry date on the extension is very soon due to long processing wait time.
I am confused which is the effective end of stay for the visitor? the sooner date on the approved visitor record or the later in time date (couple of months later) of six months starting from the date of re-entering Canada on multiple entry visa?

It says the following:
"If the applicant left Canada, on re-entry the border services officer imposed a period of authorized stay as per paragraph R183(1)(a), and the application for extension is approved before the end of this period, the applicant has until the end of the stay specified by the border services officer or the period of stay authorized with the extension approval, whichever is longer. "
But not sure if this applies to the case I am concerned about.
