My parents' Visa were granted for 18 months and they stayed here for couple of months last year and left Canada. Their visas are expiring in August 2018.
I am looking to bring them here for 6 months starting October 2018.

I have 2 questions

1. Should I apply for a new visa or is there a visa extension process available to apply outside of Canada?
2. Can I apply right away or wait until the visa expires?.

Thanks for helping.

TRVs cannot be extended. They must apply for new visas.


2. Can I apply right away or wait until the visa expires?
By the end of this month.


Hopefully, their passports do not expire soon
 
Thanks for the reply. Their passports expire in 2 years. I know I will have to apply again.

The maximum validity of their new TRVs in this case would be until their passport expiry i.e. 2 years or slightly less
 
Thanks again. My situation slightly changed now. Can they enter Canada in August (two weeks before the TRV expiry date) and stay for 6 months without applying for a new visa?
