My parents got V1 Visa, and the visa will expire in March 2020. Although V1 is 10 year multiple visa, what is meant by visa expiry in March 2020.?
1.Their passports expire in April 2020. Will they have to apply again for visa after March 2020.?

Visas can be of varying lengths. 10 year multiple entry is the longest. It is up to the visa officer to decide the length based on the application. Your parents should have renewed their passport before applying. Yes they will need to apply for a new visa if they want to come back to Canada after March 2020.

Visas are not issued beyond passport expiry. Yes - they will have to reapply from scratch after March 2020 once they obtain new passports.
