Visitor visa granted but not enter Canada immediately

[will2009]

Hi guys,

I applied for my mother a visitor visa so that she can attend my Convocation this summer. Her visa is multiple entry and valid 10 years.

We decided that she won't go to Canada this summer for Convocation (for personal reasons). Instead, she will visit me next summer when I am more settled down into my new job.

I am wondering if next summer when she enters at Canadian custom, would they question why my mother did not enter Canada to attend my Convocation (because that's the reason we cited in our visa application) but wait until a year later?

Any real example is appreciated!

Thanks!

That will not be an issue.

She can travel anytime during the validity of her TRV. No questions will be asked about the change in her travel plans

Curious if this is an opinion or your parents have gone through the same experience. Thanks

My parents are Canadian but I can guarantee you this will not be an issue. In the extraordinarily small chance the CBSA officer asks this question, all your parents have to say is "our plans changed."

If you only want answers from people with parents who received ten year multiple entry TRVs who changed their initial travel plans and entered Canada a year later than initially proposed, you may be waiting a while.

Thank you! Have a nice Easter!
