Parents Visitor Visa renewal

[pr_4_indian]

Is IRCC still issuing a 10-year multiple-entry visitor visa for parents? My parents plan to stay in Canada for less than six months on their visitor visa. Their previous Canadian visitor visa expired along with their passport, and they are now looking to renew it with their new passport details. I would appreciate your response.


Reason for the question because of the following statement:

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has revised its visitor visa policies. As of November 6, 2024, the automatic issuance of 10-year multiple-entry visitor visas has been discontinued. Now, immigration officers assess each application individually to determine whether to grant a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, as well as the appropriate validity period.

There is no such thing as a visa renewal. They are applying for a new TRV. So whether it is issued as multiple-entry will only be known when they receive a response.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your insights.

Do you have any information regarding changes in the number of multiple-entry visas being issued and whether there has been an increase in the issuance of single-entry visitor visas following the announcement in November 2024?

Additionally, I have heard that there has been a rise in visa refusals recently. Could you confirm if this is accurate and provide any details on the possible reasons for the increase?

There are no stats available. Yes, it is more difficult to be approved and Canada is limiting the number of TRVs. Since your parents had visas and abided by immigration rules then they have a better chance than most.

Hello Folks,

I have a question regarding renewal of my sister's Visitor Visa.

This is the current situation:

Her Visitor Visa (initially issued in 2019 until the validity of her passport expiry -2025) is due to expire in July this year.

She has got her Indian passport renewed and entered Canada (carrying both new /old passport) in Feb 2025. As there is no exit date stamped at the time of her entry on the passport.. she can by default stay here for 6 months (until August) this year.

I need to apply for her new Visitor Visa while she is still in Canada. So that when she leaves.. she can enter Canada on a Valid Visitor Visa.

I have applied for her Visitor Visa extensions in the passed but this in this case i need to get her Visitor Visa renewed.

Does anybody have any insight on this. How do i apply for her new Visitor Visa? Would appreciate a revert on this!

Thanks you for your support in advance!

She cannot renew a TRV. It is a new application and it can only be done once she is outside Canada.

She apply, yes. You are not applying. Whether it is approved with valid reasons on why she needs to stay so long, her own cash etc. will only be known if approved.

Would also suggest she wait until she has reestablished herself in her home county before applying for a new TRV. This is especially important if she has spent long periods of time visiting Canada.
