Depends on the length of time granted you at your port of entry. If it is co terminus with your visa then you must leave by that date, but normally the poe officer grants a WP equivalent to the length of time specified on your work contract. The visa validity is the time when you can enter Canada, the latest date being July 15.

Also,
whether it is possible to apply for 2 days extension while i am in canada or i have to do it now from india itself..
do visa authorities accept change in visa dates?

Do you already have a work permit?

You actually don't know that for sure. Anyway, one way to go about it would be to apply for extension once in Canada. You'd be on implied status while waiting for the response so you can book a flight not passing thru Frankfurt. Would cost you $75. Keep copies of the application and the receipt should you want to leave before you get the response from CPC-V.

I have a valid canadian VISA while coming from india to canada via frankfurt, so not a problem in transit..
problem is while returning from canada to india... i cannot leave canada before 16th.. flights via USA or Europe are only cheap(still alot)..
Rest of the flights are very rare and expensive, and i cannot afford them..
so, i need a transit visa anyhow or a valid canadian visa..

Is there a process in which i can plead the consulate to extend my visa expiry just for 3 days..else i would incur a lot of loss..

Also m returning to home country.. Is a transit visa still required?? ( i think it is, whats ur say?)
