Visa Extension

If you are currently in Canada and your visa is expiring, you may be able to extend your stay under certain circumstances. Typically, visa extensions are handled by applying for an extension of your temporary resident status. The application process usually involves submitting the necessary forms, supporting documents, and paying the applicable fees. The specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on the type of visa you hold. It’s important to initiate the extension process well before your current visa expires.

Visa Restoration

If your visa has already expired, you might be eligible to restore your status under certain conditions. In most cases, you must apply for restoration within 90 days of your status expiring and have valid reasons for not extending or changing your status before it expired. Restoration applications are generally more complex than extension applications and require additional supporting documentation. It’s crucial to demonstrate that you have met the requirements for restoration and provide a valid justification for the delay.
