When to Renew Canadian Visit Visa ?

[atzquebec]

Someone who has an Indian passport and a Canadian visitor visa has recently applied for a US H1B visa, biometric over, interview at the end of this month. The Indian passport and the Canadian visa are expiring in December 2026.

After getting the US visa, they plan to renew the passport immediately. They are planning to visit Canada in June 2026 and stay for 4 months.

Is it necessary to renew the Canadian visa before travelling to Canada ? If not will there be any issue when they visit Canada as the visa will only be valid for another 6 months from June 2026 ?

They don’t need a new visa but there is a good chance they may not be able to visit for 4 months especially if they are unemployed and have no ties like a home in the US or Canada.

It’s my mom. I am based in Canada. She has been to Canada many times already.

Based on your post it appears as though she is applying for H1B. A 4 month visit is never guaranteed.

That’s not the question. She will get a 10 year US visa. After she gets the 10 year H1B, she will be renewing her Indian visa passport. The current Canadian Visa will expire in 11 months.

If she travels to Canada in June 2026, does she need to renew her Canadian visa soon after getting the new Indian passport ?

Why not getting the renewed passport sooner before she get the US visa?

she already finished Biometrics appointment and they advised not to renew the passport now, to renew and only after getting the US visa.

A TRV is only an entry visa so she doesn’t have to renew it before it expires.

Its funny you are asking something else and people and telling something else and telling you why you didn't do this why you didn't do that blah blah blah. Your parents wont be able to travel for 4 months as they are unemployed no ties lol how do you know they unemployed and got no ties like are you astrologer seriously like chill bro they not applying for visa they already have visa lol people pretend like they are cbsa officer at port of entry lol I have seen people on these pages if you ask simple question on this page they just try to outsmart you and just think they are smart ones rest all are dumb lol .
So is not necessary brother to renew to visa before coming as they have good travel history to canada once they enter in june 2026 they will allowed to stay for 6 months doesn't matter when visa expires unless border officer specifically stamp your passport and write date of expiry before 6 months but usually in parents case that doesn't happen and in december if you want to extend there stay you can apply for extension before 6 months period expires in December plus once you applied extension and you get extension you can even apply vistor visa renewal inside canada and get there passport stamped once you get ppr it's fairly quick inside canada . My parents flew to canada 2 months before there supervisa was expiring CBSA still stamped my parents passport and wrote expiry date for 2 years even though visa was expiring in 2 months . Back than supervisa entry use to be for 2 years now its 5 plus after 2 year i applied for extension even though sticker visa expired 2 years ago and i got extension for another 2 years so dw as long as your parents got good travel history there would be no issue flying cbsa dont care about parents coz they know parents coming to visit children

Don’t disagree with a lot of what you said but IRCC and CBSA are far less generous than they used to be and actually vet applications these days. Also the fact that it appears they are actually trying to move to the US complicates the issue although I suspect it is the son that may be the one actually applying for the H1B and the posts aren’t accurate.
