ETA overstay

[LostSparks]

Hi,

I entered Canada 2 weeks ago and stated I would be staying 21 days to visit my fiancé. I’m a UK resident who has been temporarily living in Australia. With Australia’s borders closing I can’t return there, and international travel being advised against I was wanting to remain in Canada for longer than originally stated. I know I’m okay to stay for 6 months on my ETA, but I wondered if I’d have any issues as I’d be staying longer than what I declared at the border.

Is there any way of fixing this, as I don’t want it to show as an overstay or that I’ve given incorrect information.

Thanks in advance

As long as you didn't get a stamp with an earlier date and weren't issued a Visitor Record, you are fine to stay 6 months. It is not an overstay.

Depends on the details. How long have you overstayed?

If it's 6 months, then you can't do anything and need to leave Canada as soon as you can.

If it's 30 days, then you should apply for restoration as soon as possible.
