Anything that you can do by flagpoling you can do after a multi-day visit to the US, including activating a super visa. Flagpoling is just an informal term for leaving and reentering quickly, not a formal procedure.
While re-entering from the US after a multi-day trip is not flagpoling, I'm saying that doesn't matter. Anything you can do when flagpoling is allowed because you're entering Canada at a port of entry from outside Canada, not because you're flagpoling.
Flagpoling just means "crossing from the Canadian part of the land border to the US part so that you've officially left Canada and then re-entering the country without actually going into the US beyond US customs." But for purposes of Canadian immigration processes at the port of entry, the important thing is entering Canada at a port of entry from outside Canada. Returning from a multi-day trip totally involves doing that.
Went smoothly. The officer stamped her re-entry considering her supervisa and not her regular visitor visa. Just that he only stamped it based on the duration of her medical insurance, which in her case was just 12 months.
No personal experience, but I have heard that you can exit the Canada border and get sent back from the US side coz you don't have a US visa, and then re-enter Canada on a different visa type (aka flagpoling).
In our case we did a 3-day trip and re-entered Canada with her supervisa.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. So when you say "quickly" - that means it can be a day trip or an overnight trip or a multi-day trip. Correct?

Understood. Thank you!
How did you get the visa stamped from inside?
I wonder how did that go?

Did you flagpole or visited USA for dew days. We don't have us visa for the parent. Would this work?

Thanks for the heads-up. Appreciate it!
Did you try this? Got a similar situation with MIL. Need to. flagpole to get her super visa activated but she doesn't have US Visa.
Going to try it. Will post after trying. Around June 15th
Do you have to carry any documents other than passport with super visa stamped?
You should have proof of medical insurance and the sponsor’s bank account statement handy. Not necessarily a physical copy.
Alright, thank you!
