visit visa for parents from pakistan

[ahmadfawad3]

Hello everyone.
I Have a question
My sister lives in Canada and my parents want to visit her they live in pakistan. My parents applied for a visit visa back in 2017 and got it approved within 30 to 40 days.
They visited my sister only once.
In 2020, the visa had expired as their passport had also expired. In December 2020, they applied again, and the application is still in progress. It's been over 1.5 years now.
Any guidelines or suggestions?
Thanks.

They need to submit a new application through the new portal.

in new portal there is no previous application showing and they have valid biometrics do they need to give biometrics again?

If they want to have max time visa then give new biomatrics when appliying new application

How? If I say no to bio metric question (but still having some years of bio validity)
Don’t you think it is wrong statement ?

 

[demme343]

They have option if u want max time for visa u can give again bio . For long validity

If Biometrics have been provided in last 10 years then I don't think there is a need to provide biometrics again.

They have option if u want max time for visa u can give again bio . For long validity

I want to know how we can extend ? I am holder of TRV which soon going to be expired but BIO is valid for another 3 years , so in next app they will ask if I ever gave bio in last 10 years so
If I say yes and assuming visa approved than it will be max for 3 years .

and if say no (than it’s wrong statement) which May impact on application (my assumption)

So question is how I can extend bio so I can try to get max visa modify

i don't think bio expiry is linked with the visa validity, if this happened then everyone gets 10 years visa not on the basis of passport expiry date as most of cases happened so you should select yes

Visa is always given on 2 basis your passport exipry or bio which ever expire first

correct , and my bio validity is less compare to passport (that’s why I ask to extend BIO)
