My dad’s passport got water damaged along with little bit his visitor stamp but it’s still valid. I understand we need to renew the passport but my concern is about his visa stamp. What do we need to do to get the stamp again on his new passport?
Thanks!

You don't. He will need to carry both passport when travel to the country that needs that stamp.

I put my husband's passport with stamp in the washer before. Luckily it was still visible after the wash. He just kept using it.

Thank you for the quick response but on his visa stamp last row is blurry and from the expiry date first letter is missing only able to see 031 instead of 2031. Can we got to the VFS office and check with them if it will work or they can help to transfer his visa?

Then I don't know. What country's visa are we talking about? It's up to that ambassy in Canada to re-issue the visa/stamp.

Since you posted in the citizenship section, I assume that he holds a Canadian passport.
