Frequently Asked Questions
You apply online through IRCC before your current visitor status expires. We take care of the full process — from forms to final submission — so you can focus on enjoying your time here.
A Visitor Visa lets you enter Canada. A Visitor Record is what allows you to stay longer once you’re already here.
Processing times can vary. As of early 2025, it takes about 140 days. Apply early — and we’ll make sure your application is submitted properly and on time.
We handle everything — eligibility check, document preparation, submission, and follow-up — to give your application the best chance of success.
You can, but we don’t recommend it. A Visitor Record doesn’t allow re-entry. If you leave, you may need to apply for a new visa to return.
No. This application must be submitted while you are still inside Canada with valid status.
If your application is refused, you must leave Canada by your current departure date. We’ll guide you on next steps or alternatives if this happens.
No, not without the proper permits. This process only allows you to stay longer as a visitor.
You’ll need a valid passport, proof of funds, and a clear reason for staying. We help you gather everything you need.
Yes — as long as you apply before your current status expires, you’re under maintained status and can stay legally until a decision is made. This only applies if you applied before your current status expired — in that case you’re on Maintained Status and can stay while you wait. If your status had already expired before you applied, maintained status doesn’t cover you — see our Restoration of Status guide instead, since you only have 90 days to act.
