6/30/2019 Topic: Visitor Record not Issued for my Dependents Moderator	Hello Sathish, Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us. We can appreciate that you would be interested in finding out what your options are in this situation and that you would be frustrated that the border officer only issued a 6 month stay for them. In terms of ServiceOntario issuing a health card for them based on the visa duration, you will have to contact them directly to find out what the options are based on your situation. You may also want to try and contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) directly at 1-888-242-2100 (In Canada Only). I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation. ===== Anna Settlement.Org Content and Information/Referral Specialist, CRS, CRS-DC Settlement.Org
