Hi,

I came to Canada as a visitor and I got a dependent work permit based on my husband's post graduation work permit. I want to go back to India for one month now and my passport still has visitor visa stamp. So my question is, if I leave Canada with my Passport and my work permit as it is, will I be able to reenter in to Canada or do I need to apply for anything here in Canada before I leave the country? Also can I stay in India for more than a month?

Thank you
:)

Hello!

In a month or so (July 2017) I will be flying to New York from Madrid, where I live, and I will be there until the first week of August (I already have the visitor visa ready for the US). Then, instead of coming back, I am going to Montreal (Canada) on August the 4th to stay at a friends' place. I already have tickets from Montreal to Madrid for December the 20th, so 4.5 months after I entered Canada. My idea is to go back to Canada after Christmas, sometime at the beginning of January I don't know which of the following statements are correct:

1. Since I left Canada for a couple of weeks and entering again, I have 6 months as a visitor again.
Or 2. I still have 1.5 months because I only spent 4.5 as a visitor until December, and I have to apply for an extension of my stay 30 days before the 6 months. If this is what I will have to do, does anyone know how likely is it to get the extension? And what could I provide as proof of founds?

I have tried to find information about this but there I haven't seen that the option 1 is a thing, so if you could help me with this I'd be more than thankful. (I'm from Spain, by the way)
As you are new here easily done but it is not really a good idea to hijack someone elses thread as leads to confusion for everyone looking at the original post. Your own question I see was answered here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/please-help-do-i-need-to-extend-my-stay-as-a-visitor.495352/#post-6034776
