You can usually get a recent status by googling "Jolt Act" or "Retiree Visa".
There are also regular "Loonies and Toonies" meetings held in the Villages monthly from November to April, when most Canadians are in residence. Usually the Canadian Snowbird Association gives an update on the Retiree Visa.
Thanks. I will check on these. We will only be in TV 4 1/2 months next year as we don't arrive in TV until late December this year. However, we would like to be back there mid November of 2014 until early May 2015. That pushes us up to 6 months and doesn't give us any leeway for our trips to Montana, Wyoming and Idaho in the summer.
