The initial entry into Canada as a visitor is generally granted for a period of six months. It is possible to request an extension for an additional six months or more by applying for a visitor record.
To be eligible for a visitor record in Canada, you must meet the following requirements:
To apply for a visitor record, you are required to have sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay. This means you should have enough money to cover your accommodation, meals, transportation, and other expenses while you're in the country.
Canada has specific admissibility criteria that visitors must meet. These criteria may include having a valid passport, not having a criminal record, and not being a security risk, among other factors.
Canadian immigration authorities want to be assured that your visit to Canada is temporary and that you don't plan to stay in the country beyond your authorized period of stay. You should have a clear plan to leave Canada when your visa or permit expires. Demonstrating strong ties to your home country, such as employment, family, or property ownership, can help support your intention to depart.
In addition to these requirements, the specific entry rules and documentation can vary depending on the purpose of your visit. It's crucial to understand the specific requirements for your particular situation. If you're not sure if you are eligible to apply for a visitor record, feel free to schedule a consultation with us.
