Parents PR Visa Extension

[tata0692]

Hi All
My parents PR got stamped last month and they have to enter Canada before Aug-2023. Due to some personal reasons, they cannot travel before this date and i believe there is no way in extending the Visa expiry date. I sent email/ raised webforms and no reply yet from IRCC
I also spoke to my parents and i dont think they are ready to commit staying in Canada for 3yrs to just keep the PR as their entire family and my younger siblings are back home.

Now, they already have a visitor visa stamped till 2026. If they decide not to come, do i need to officially withdraw the application or they can just enter canada next time using the tourist visa?

Thanks

Can they travel to do a soft landing? It's hard to get PGP sponsorship. And depending on their luck, they may NEVER get it again.
I highly suggest them to come, do soft landing and visit you. Then try to stay to meet their RO. If they decided to not land, it's almost a decision to never move to Canada. ..

Yes if they don’t land they can use their TRV.

Hope you get positive update from IRCC.. I am in same situation. got my parents passport stamped last week and deadline to enter is 20/Aug/2023. Not in a position to travel right now due to hernia surgery. Any options to extend the landing window. Thank you.

I am NOT in "same situation". I think you replied to the wrong person.
In general, IRCC do not give any extension for landing. Aug 20 is still almost 2 months away. person should be recovered for a simple hernia surgery. If it's anything serious, you need to notify IRCC and they may require a new medical exam.

and you may not get any response from IRCC regarding to the webform for period of time. It's not something they reply immeditately.
Be prepared that may mean the risk for letting the COPR expired before you know the result of your request.
