Hello all,
My mother got a visitor visa previously to Canada and now her passport is expiring. But we realized my mom's mother's last name was spelt incorrectly in the passport. Now, since she's applying for a new passport (from India), we want to correct the last name issue. Now, I have two questions.

  1. What happens if she corrects her mother's last name with respect to Canada visitor visa? Would there be any problems for me to apply for a visitor visa for her again ? Like her mother's last name is going to be little different from that of her old passport. Is this going to be a problem for IRCC?
  2. Also, her visa expires on August 31, 2025. And she's renewing her passport this month (january). Now is her old visa still valid? Is there a way to just renew it or I have to do a fresh application for her visitor visa?
Thank you in advance.
