Multiple Entry Visit Visa

[MMI]

My parents have been approved for a 3 year multiple entry visit visa. Can they have a round trip ticket for 1 year? I mean, if they go here by March 2012, can they have a returning ticket back home March 2013? Is this allowed by the canadian immigration?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The multiple entry visit visa only allows them to visit for a maximum of six months. Once they are here, you can try applying for an extension so that they can stay a full year. However there are no guarantees the extension will be approved.
