Extend Your Stay in Canada with Confidence
Whether you’re enjoying a vacation, conducting business, or visiting family in Canada, extending your visa is often essential to prolonging your stay legally. At Karvaan Immigration & Visa Services, we provide expert guidance and support to help you navigate the visa extension process smoothly, ensuring that you remain in compliance with Canadian immigration laws.
What is a Visa Extension ?
A visa extension allows you to extend the duration of your stay in Canada beyond the original expiration date of your visa. This process involves applying to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for an extension before your current visa expires. Extending your visa is crucial to avoid overstaying and to continue enjoying the benefits of your stay in Canada.
Eligibility for Visa Extension
To be eligible for a visa extension, you must meet certain requirements, including:
- Valid Current Visa: Your existing visa must be valid at the time of your extension application.
- Purpose of Stay: You must provide a valid reason for wanting to extend your stay, such as continuing your studies, extending a business visit, or remaining with family.
- Financial Support: Demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself (and any dependents) during the extended stay.
- Compliance with Conditions: You must have complied with all conditions of your current visa, including not overstaying and adhering to any work or study restrictions.
Types of Visas You Can Extend
- Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa): For tourists, family visits, or business trips. Extensions can be granted for continued tourism, additional family time, or further business meetings.
- Study Permit: If you need more time to complete your studies beyond the initial permit duration.
- Work Permit: For extending your employment with your current employer or changing jobs if eligible
