My Mom's visitor visa for Canada (5 yr. multiple) expires November this year and her passport (Indian) expires in December this year. I'm planning to call her to Canada this summer.

I have a couple of questions

1) Is there any rule (written or unwritten) that would require her to leave for Canada at least 6 mos. before her passport or Visa expiry date? Someone told me somthing to this effect. Or would she be able to travel without any problems even if she came say 3 mos. before her visa expiry?

Might add that she's been to Canada / U.S. a couple of times already.

2) Can the passport be renewed while she is in Canada or U.S.? I guess that would be the pre-requisite to getting her visa renewed.

Thanks.

Are you there?

Hi,

The Indian passports can be renewed from one year before the expiry. So she can renew her passport now and travel with the visa on the old passport.

hi please tell me the requirements for visitor's visa for my parents.Parents are 60+ and sister is 35.Sister is unmarried.What are the possible problems or hitches in getting the visa.Do I have to send from Canada some document to India which could be of some help.I am a permanent Canadian Resident for more than 2 years.Currently I don't have any job but likely to get soon.

your 35 year old sister will have to convince the embassy that she will return to India after her visit. Very hard.

best to have your mum's passport renewed first.
