Visitor Visa extend

[supin]

My parents have a visitor visa expiring in Nov 2021 and wish to come in Canada in Oct 2021.
1. Do they have to return before visa expiry or can I reapply for the Visitor Visa after they reach Canada?

I think they can come to Canada before expiry date but if you want to make them stay, you may need to apply for extension at least 30 days before expiry, so perhaps you may need to plan things accordingly by looking at dates.

Will first depend on how long of a stay they are given. Have they renewed their passport?

so they could get up to a 6 month stay. You’ll need to wait and see when he lands.
