Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I stay in Canada with a visitor visa?
Most visitor visas allow stays of up to 6 months, but the exact duration is determined at the port of entry. The immigration officer will stamp your passport with an expiry date.
Can I extend my visitor visa while in Canada?
Yes, you can apply to extend your stay as a visitor. You must apply at least 30 days before your current status expires. The application can be submitted online or by paper.
What happens if my visa application is rejected?
If your application is rejected, you will receive a letter explaining why. You can reapply if you can address the reasons for refusal. Our consultants can help analyze the refusal and strengthen your next application.
Can I work on a visitor visa in Canada?
