Hey all,

Just wanted to clarify a detail on the extended stay visa. I'm an American married to a Canadian and have been living here in Canada since June 20th, I applied for my extended stay at the beginning of November. Due to the stipulation of visitors only being allowed to stay in country for six months does this mean I have to leave on December 20th and wait until my extended stay is completed or stay in Canada?

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you!

No, you can wait in Canada until you get either an approval or refusal from Vegreville.
