Pls help.

First point will be you cannot assume ever that you will be allowed to enter Canada as a visitor for 6 months, even less so having already been in country for 3 months on a previous visit. Will you have a return ticket to support your visit.

Second even if you do stay 6 months leaving for a week visit to the US and returning it is highly likely that you may only be given a limited stay of a week of so or even refused entry given it will be pretty obvious to immigration that you are not a genuine visitor but trying maybe to live in Canada on a visitor visa.

Thirdly with such long stays in Canada as a visitor then any future application for a visa will take that into account when you apply and maybe rejected on the basis that you are not a genuine visitor spending such long periods in the country.

Obviously applying straight after your current visa expires might not be a good choice but even after a year assuming you are successful in spending so long as a visitor immigration will take a lot of convincing your application as a visitor is genuine.

I have no info on US immigration requirements but maybe check whether they insist on a minimum 6 months validity on your passport regardless if you say you will only stay a week or so.

US CBP as well may need some convincing about your intentions in entering the US regardless of having a US visa given any potential entry back into Canada issues that may exist but that is just a personal view.

I travel to Canada for 3 month if I Travel again next year alone and after 2 or 3 month Can I call my family my wife and kids it’s there any problem from them to Travel without me. It’s there any problem at Canada airport Immigration will thay question them why you traveling alone. Is there any problem from them if I am present at Canada and how much duration thay give entry.
