Visitor visa on old passport

[krishere1982]

Hi all,

My mother obtained her visitor visa in 2022 on her passport which was valid until 2026-May. But she recently renewed her passport.

She has a stamp in the passport which has the visitor visa mentioning that the visas on that passport are still valid.

In - https://www.ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1650 - I see the following :

I got a new passport but I have a valid visa in my old one. Can I use the visa in my old passport?
Yes. To travel to Canada using a valid visa in an old passport, you need to bring both

• your old passport with the valid visa
  • You may need to explain why your old passport isn’t valid.
• your new valid passport or travel document

Even though you can use a valid visa in an old passport, we recommend that you get a new visa in your valid passport to avoid delays at the border.

Has anyone's parent visited Canada with valid visa on their old passport? Can you please share their experience.

Thank you.
