Hello all,
I was wondering what my options may be. I arrived in Canada on June 15th 2015 on an IEC (Working Holiday visa). It expired on June 2017. I had submitted a form through CIC to stay in Canada as a visitor once my working holiday visa expired. I was approved and since June 15th of this year I have been in Canada as a visitor/tourist. This expires at the end of August. When filling in the form I actually said the end of August would be good but circumstances have changed since then.
I also applied for permanent Residence about 3 and a half months ago and I am currently waiting for this. I've decided I'd actually like to remain in Canada for a little longer. I don't know when my PR will come through (if I even get it) but ideally I'd like to remain in Canada as a visitor for an additional 6 months once it is the end of August.
I am not sure how I do this. Am I able to go to the Niagara Falls/Buffalo boarder and enter the US then come back? Can this be done any time between now and the end of August or should I do it near the end of my current visitor visa?
What would happen if I took a flight down to NYC for a few days and came back to Toronto? Would they give me a new stamp allowing me to stay in Canada for an additional 6 months or would they just look on record and see that I am allowed to stay in Canada until the end of August and not stamp at all. I am a British citizen btw.
Thanks in Advanced!
