Extend Your Stay in Canada with G Square Immigration

Want to stay in Canada longer as a visitor? If your authorized stay is about to expire and you wish to remain in Canada, you may be able to apply for a visitor record to extend your stay. At G Square Immigration, we help you understand the requirements and prepare your application with confidence.

What is a Visitor Status Extension?

A Visitor Status Extension allows eligible visitors to request more time to stay in Canada legally as a visitor.

A visitor record is the document that shows how long you can stay in Canada. It is not a visa and does not guarantee re-entry into Canada if you travel outside the country.

When Do You Need a Visitor Status Extension?

Apply if you need to remain in Canada beyond the date you are currently authorized to stay.

You Want More Time with Family

Extend your stay to spend additional time with family or friends in Canada.

You Need More Time for Your Visit

If your original travel plans require additional time, you may request an extension.

You Want to Maintain Visitor Status

Apply before your current status expires to maintain your legal visitor status while your application is being processed, where applicable.
