A parents' Super Visa does not automatically extend when the linked passport is renewed — the group was clear on this.
- A Canadian visa (including Super Visa) is only valid up to the expiry of the passport it was issued for. There's no automatic carryover to a new passport.
- Once the passport is renewed, a new Super Visa application must be filed against the new passport — the old visa doesn't transfer over.
- Location matters for the new application: your parents should be outside Canada at the time they submit the new Super Visa application on the renewed passport.
Practical steps: renew the passport first (this can potentially be done from within Canada, depending on the issuing country's process), then have your parents apply for a new Super Visa on that new passport while they are outside Canada.
