Tourist Visa Extension
If you want to extend your stay in Canada on a Tourist Visa, file a Tourist Visa extension through EV Immigration.
Who Qualifies for a Tourist Visa Extension to Canada?
To qualify for a Tourist Visa Extension in Canada, you must:
- Be in Canada with a valid Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
- Remain consistent with your purpose of being in Canada as a tourist. You should not be seeking to change your status to a worker or student.
- Demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your extended stay without needing to work or rely on social assistance.
- Have complied with the conditions of your initial visa and not have overstayed your visa.
Best Time to Apply for a Tourist Visa Extension?
It’s essential to apply for a Tourist Visa Extension before your current visa expires. You should ideally submit your application at least 30 days before your visa expires to provide ample processing time and to avoid any lapse in your legal status. Applying early helps ensure that you remain in Canada legally while your extension is being processed.
How Long Does It Take to Process?
The processing time for a Tourist Visa Extension can vary depending on the volume of applications and the specific details of your case. On average, the processing time ranges from 2 to 3 months.
How Long Can One Stay in Canada While on an Extended Tourist Visa?
When your Tourist Visa extension is approved, you can stay in Canada for the period granted by the immigration authorities, which is usually up to 6 months from the date of approval. The exact length of your stay will be indicated on your new visitor record, which you will receive upon approval of your extension.
