[dp25688]

Hello guys, I have some serious situation here, My parents got visa on 10th March,2020. Visa valid till 4th Oct, now in india currently lockdown whole country and almost no flights to canada or inter state travel ban and I feel it is not safe untill situation under control to travel. The question is if situation not normal till October, then what? can we request to IRCC for more time and extention of immigration visa? or any other suggetions you have please share friends. I'm sure there are others with same situation.
Thank you.

Yes if there is no travel into Canada or out of India by October you can ask for an extension.

No news/updates

Nothing much has happened in the world for over a month. Covid 19 has been the priority. That is understandable.

Make sure that your parents got COPR on or before 18 March 2020 because only those who got PR approval in that period are exempt and can travel to Canada. I would print out the link and ENF 4 - Port of entry examinations manual - below and show it to airline if they ask. Section 13.18 (page 73) says "If a valid visa inside an expired document is presented at the POE (port of entry) along with a valid passport or travel document, the visa is considered valid". Second link is the info for travel exemption.

Travel Exemption to approved PR applicants (up to 18 March 2020)

Given that the parents are in India the parents can’t leave for a while. Many countries and airlines have stopped their international travel to Canada.

I think your parents passed medical on 4th October 2019. If this is the case then if you ask for extension then they have to do the medical again. Because medical is valid for one year only. And the Visa validity is one year from the date of medical passed.

Am new, my question is, can a father who is living in canada for 40yrs, filing for his daughter who is about 38 yrs old now?

Only if all of the following are true:

- He has no spouse / common law partner
- He has no children who are Canadian
- Both of his parents are deceased
- He has no other family members in Canada (e.g. aunt, uncle, etc.)

Generally speaking, you can only sponsor child who is UNDER 22 years of age. Since your daughter is quite a bit above the cut off age, you cannot sponsor her. However, there are exceptions. If she has depended on you financially since 22 years of age AND she has physical or mental disability, then you can sponsor her even though she is over 22 years old now.

This is not the right thread for this type of question. There are a lot of other threads that have already answered your questions and questions you have not even thought of yet.

The following link is a good place for information.

That's true. But, that is outside of whether one can travel using valid visa on expired passport and related Canadian regulations.

Also doesn’t seem clear that they have COPR before March 18th.

Not super surprising when you see that a large part country has shut down. Many immigration things can not be done from home for privacy reasons and are dependent on other Canadian organizations and contact with foreign governments.
