Visitor Visa
Non-Canadian citizens and non-permanent residents are referred to as visitors. You could require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), often known as a visitor's visa, in order to enter as a visitor. This paper serves as proof that you are qualified for entry to Canada. Some nationals are exempt from needing a visitor's visa. You must be aware that if you are from a nation where a visa is required to enter Canada, you cannot apply for a Temporary Resident Visa once you have been there; instead, you must get it approved before you leave.
To enter Canada, citizens of nations that don't require visas must get an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).In addition to your work or study authorization, if you plan to work or study in Canada and are from a nation that requires a visa, you will also need a Temporary Resident Visa. You can only stay in Canada for a certain length of time with this temporary visa.
Navigating the Canadian Immigration System
Before you go, Uniseas Immigration will work with you to make sure you have fulfilled all requirements for obtaining a Temporary Resident Visa. Our staff will assist you in gathering all necessary documentation, will help you fill out all application forms entirely, will manage applications from family members, and will submit everything on your behalf. Additionally, we can help by anticipating potential challenges in your situation and addressing them during the application process.
If you’re currently in Canada and want to stay longer than your visa’s expiration date, you could file for an extension. In order to apply for an extension, you will need to fill out an IMM 5708 Form.
If your application to extend your stay in Canada is approved, you will receive a visitor record.
A visitor record does not guarantee entry to Canada. If you plan to travel outside Canada or the United States, you need a valid entry document to return to Canada.
Form IMM 5708, Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor or Temporary Resident Permit Holder, is the form used by temporary residents to modify some conditions of their residency in Canada.
This form can be used to extend your temporary resident permit as many times as you like, provided you can show that your stay remains temporary.
This form does not affect one’s status as a student or as a temporary worker in Canada. To extend the student or work permits, applicants should use a different application.
- You need to be currently in Canada
- You need to hold a current passport that will stay valid for the duration of your stay
- You will need to pay the associated fee for Form IMM 5708
- You will need to ensure that any other permits that you hold (Study or work) will stay valid and not interfere with your visitor permit.
