Can I use Visitor visa-Business to visit Canada as a tourist?

[swatiykm]

I have a visitor visa-business that expires on 26 July 2017. I have been to Canada thrice on business purpose. Now, I have planned for a trip to Canada to visit my cousins. Is my visa valid or do I specifically need to have visitor visa-Tourist?

Also, how many days before the visitor visa expires I can travel to Canada. For example, is it okay if I stay in Canada till 4 July 2017 knowing that it expires on 26 July 2017?

Please advise.

Yes, you can

Hope your passport is not expiring about the same time as your TRV.

If you arrive too close to the expiry date of your TRV and/or passport, the immigration officer at the POE may limit your visit
