Given that the sponsorship doesn't work in my family situation, I had the following questions:
- my parents were previously granted the grandparents visa for about 5 years, which was for the entire duration of their passport validity. They visited Canada for a year and went back home. If we wanted to apply for the same, is it a whole new process as starting from the beginning or is it a more simplified procedure?
- Also, I know one entry has to be 2 years at a time. Can you please tell me how long do they have to stay outside Canada between the 2 stays? Do they need to go back to their home country after those 2 years?
thank you so much for responding
