extending a visitor visa

[ultra99]

so I have a parent who's visitor visa will expire in 4 months. I was wondering how can we extend it from outside Canada. I'm kind of confused about this eTA document. Any ideas?

You can only extend a visit while the visitor is in Canada.

In the situation you have described, you need to apply for a new visitor visa.

so i'll just go through the normal process, right?

Yes - exactly.

what about my other parent who still has a valid visa, will they need to do anything extra? will they need eTA?
