For Canadian visitor visa, the 10th October date on your visa is the date by which you enter Canada, not the date you have to leave Canada.   For visitors, you can stay for 6 months from the date you enter.

As long as you enter canada before expiration of your visa you are good to go..the legnth of time you are allowed to stay in canada depends on how many days/weeks the immigration of canada will give you during port of entry.

this is just my opinion but check with lawyers for sure answer.

Mr. Noorul Iqbal...

 

You can apply to CIC for TRV visa extension. (TRV- Temporary Resident Visa).

 

By rules, You should apply before 30 days of your visa expiration.

 

There are 2 ways to apply.  Online and paper filing.

 

When you were entering into Canada, if immigration officer has issued a letter, it contains a Client Id nbr, with that nbr your can create an online account on CIC.GC.CA and you can process your visa extension application.

 

If you have not received any document when entering into Canada, you need to download required forms and apply by postal mail.

 

Now that your wife is with you, you need to apply for her extension too.  You can do it simultaneously.

 

Good luck.

I would suggest you to apply for multiple entry visitors visa before you go for stamping.God forbis incase if you have to wait for longer period than normal you can travel to your home country and come back ..good luck.
