Hi, guys,
I haven't browsed this forum for a while since the covid-19 started, and it seems there is a new trend of PPR waived for parents who are already in Canada. Congratulations to all who have already received good news.
I have some questions about my parents' situation.
My parents are currently in Canada, and the resident address were in China. Their original flight back to our country was in Mid-June but due to the flight restriction, the flight has been cancelled and reassigned several times and now assigned to Mid-October (which is still not secured as the regulation keeps changing). I will have to extend their visa so that they could stay longer.
My questions are:
-Do I need to update their mailing address as they will definitely stay in Canada for more than 6 months in 2020?
-If so, should I email them or submit on the IRCC webform?
-If using the IRCC webform, I didn't use a Use of Representative form for my parents' application, which category is better for my situation?
a. Change of contact information (as the mailing address is changed)
b. Use of a representative
c. Sponsor parents outside of Canada
-How long in advance do I need to submit the application to extend the visa before it expires?
I really appreciate any help from you guys.
Thanks and stay safe.
