My sis and I have been studying here in Canada, but since we want to travel our passport does not allow us to come back without a visitor visa, so we need to apply for visitor canadian visa to be able to come back (our previous visa expired during COVID). I applied for me and my sis, I received my visitor visa until my biometric expiration date (in 2029), BUT my sis didn't have biometric before (cuz when she came it wasn't required) so she did it this time. Mine got approved almost instantly cuz I already had it, and I sent my passport with the letter as they requested. My sis did her biometric in the meantime and then we were waiting for her approval. Just now we got the confirmation, but it says it will expire in Sept of this year 2024 (it was only extended for 6 months), none of her important documents expire this year, her student permit expire in 2026, her biometrics were done recently so it expired in 2034, and both our passport expire in 2030.... We didn't know what were the prerequisites or requirements to get a longer Visitor Visa extension? Why was mine approved for 5 years until 2029, while her will expire in such a short amount of time?? I applied for my other family members as well and they got a pretty long time extension cuz of their recent passport renewal. But why did my sis only got 6 months??
My sis visitor visa was approved but only for 6 months- while mine was approved for 5 years
