importing prescription drug

[Asker302]

My parents are visiting (non Canadian residents) and use a prescription drugs.

They want to extend their stay for another 2 weeks. The problem is that 1 prescription drug going to end in middle of that period

Is there a way to mail the drug (prescribed to non resident in another country)? What is the way to do that?
Is there a way to renew a prescription here in Canada? Would it be a costly?

They can't be mailed.

Your parents will need to go to a local doctor (e.g. walk in clinic) to get a prescription from a Canadian doctor and then fill the prescription at a local pharmacy. They will have to pay for the walk in clinic visit and obviously the cost of the medication.
