Canada is the second biggest country in the world, and it is blessed with picturesque landscapes, distinctive sites, and brilliant educational universities for visitors to explore. Foreign nationals from various countries are legally allowed to enter and live in Canada for a maximum of 6 months, each time on a Visitor Visa. Once the legal status as a visitor expires, the holder of this visa is expected to leave the country. Suppose the visitor is keen on extending his/her stay in Canada. In that case, applying for an extension is inevitable and should be done at least 30 days before the expiry of the said period, as specified in the visitor visa.
Two documents that are highly significant if you are willing to enter Canada as a Visitor.
It is to be noted that the application for an extension of the Visitor Visa should be filed way before (at least 30 days before) the expiry of the current legal status as a visitor. The maximum period of stay allowed on a Visitor visa is six months for each visit; therefore, understanding the computation of this period accurately is necessary. Using the primary inspection kiosk to enter Canada will give you a tentative maximum period as your legal status of being a visitor will expire either in six months from the date of entry or from the date of expiry of your passport, whichever comes first. If a Visitor Visa holder is willing to stay in Canada for more than six months, he/she must apply for a Visitor Record.
A document that allows the holder to live in Canada with a legal status is called a Visitor record. It is not a visa but specifies the record’s expiry date, wherein the holder must leave the country. The holder can also apply for an extension to stay in Canada legally.
A temporary resident can apply for an extension of stay by renewing his/her legal status. Following are the eligibility criteria for the same:
Here, the term temporary resident has a broad scope and includes student, visitor, or temporary worker.
The application must be completed with proper and authentic information and attach all the required supporting documents. If the whole family is willing to extend their stay, every individual member of the family must apply separately.
The following steps are involved in the application process:
The processing time for the applications ranges from 100 days – 115 days. Successful applications result in an immigration document rendering you a legal status with a new expiry date. Likewise, rejected applications allow you to stay in Canada only until the expiry date of your current legal status. Furthermore, the refused applications will enable you to apply for an extension within 90 days from the date of refusal to apply for restoration again.

If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services. Thank you Harsimrat for all the efforts. I am really grateful. :)Shuja Rahman2024-02-10Bakhash was immensely helpful with our work visa process to Australia 🔆, from the time we called until the end he helped us throughout the whole process and made it very simple and clear. CanOz staff were very polite and accommodating. This is the person you want to go to if you want to get things done quickly and efficiently without any hassles. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, thank you so much!Tiegan Murphy2024-02-03Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!Arjun R'Krishnan2024-02-03My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh's recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
