Hi , I am in a situation , My parents came here on super visa . now they have returned to India and their Passport plus Visa are expiring in March 2023. Is there any way we can apply for extension while they are in India or do i need to reapply from scratch and do the whole process again in India ?
I tried to search this on website and the only thing that i can find is about "Extend your stay" and i am not sure if that is the form that i need to fill ? I am confused because i think that link is for extension of visitor visa/Work Permit while some one is staying in Canada .

No, you cannot apply for an extension from India.

They need to apply for a new super visa from scratch.

Extending your stay is only for individuals who are in Canada and wish to stay longer. They do not allow someone to re-enter Canada.

is there any other form that i can fill out for parents ? My best bet would be call them again to Canada just before things expire and apply here for extension .

Sure, they can travel to Canada and then apply for an extension to stay here longer.

However if they want to leave Canada and be able to return, they need to apply for a new super visa. An extension only allows them to remain in Canada longer. It does not allow them to leave and return. They need a new super visa to do that. There's no other form to do that. You need to apply for a super visa from scratch.

Same answer. No. It doesn't work that way. They have to apply again from scratch.
