Extending a Visitor Visa
Visitor visas, whether single entry or multiple entry, offer foreign nationals the opportunity to legally reside in Canada for up to six months at a time. Upon the expiry of this period, your legal status concludes, and you must leave Canada. For those desiring an extension beyond six months, the application must be submitted while the temporary resident status is still valid, preferably at least 30 days before expiration. If your current visa expires while awaiting an extension decision, you may stay in Canada under implied status. Additionally, eligible candidates can explore permanent resident status through various Canadian immigration programs.
Previous Refusal of a Visitor Visa Application
Have you faced a refusal in your previous Canadian visitor visa application? You’re not alone. Visitor visa applications witness thousands of refusals monthly, making it the most declined application in Canadian immigration.
A prior refusal doesn’t mean a new application can’t be approved. All grounds for refusal can be addressed with a fresh application. Common refusal reasons include personal assets, financial status, family ties, employment outlook, and travel history. These concerns generally revolve around the officer’s apprehension regarding the visitor’s intent to leave Canada after their stay.
How Long Can You Stay In Canada As a Visitor?
If your visa application is approved, and you enter Canada within the valid visa period, you can stay for a maximum of 180 days (6 months). The specific duration will be determined by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) upon your arrival at the Canadian border. The border guard will assess your situation and inform you of the allowed stay, with a maximum of 180 days. In case there’s no specified departure date, you are permitted to stay the full 180 days.
How to Get a Visitor Visa Application Approved
When officers evaluate a visitor visa application, they seek indications that the applicant will leave Canada after their stay, won’t pose a risk to the Canadian public, and won’t break any laws. The crucial aspect applicants should showcase is their employment and financial resources, signaling a lack of need for illegal work in Canada and a genuine reason to return home.
Highlighting ties to the home country is essential, demonstrating reasons to leave Canada. There’s no fixed amount of money for approval, as each application is unique. The decision-making for visitor visas is discretionary, sometimes seeming inconsistent, emphasizing the importance of a well-prepared application tailored to individual strengths.
