Renewing Tourist Visas for Myself and My Family with PGWP

[Luzmabedoya]

I have a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that expires in 2026. However, the visa allowing me to enter and exit the country has already expired. Now, I want to apply for tourist visas for my husband and my two children. When I access the application portal, I've noticed that it only requests forms for the tourist visa for me, and there is no information requested for my husband and children. In this case, I would only be granted a tourist visa for myself, while my family would receive a "visitor record." Could someone please guide me on how to apply for all 4 visas since they have all expired?

What is their status in Canada?

My husband and I have open work permits, and my two children have visitor records, and they are currently studying (they are 9 and 6 years old).

If children don’t have study permits and are on visitor visas and extending their stay with visitor records then they cannot apply for a TRV in Canada. Your husband should be able to extend but he would apply separately from you.
