Hi all here .
First i want to apologize for my English .Secondly i want to ask some things . I from Greece and i want to come to Canada like a tourist , i know that the maximum is 6 months but i think isn't so good ( i think ) to take from the begining all the days because they don't let you come in , they will assume that i come to find a job ( i am 41 years old ) , let's say that i say to them that i am here ( Canada ) for 1 month just for vacation . Can i extension this after one month ends ? and how ? The procedure is easy ?
I would appreciate any help !!!

Thanks a lot in advance !!!

They are really strict when it comes to visit visas and you need to convice the case officer that you would return yo your home country/strong home ties(hefty bank statement, personal property i.e house, car etc.). You should have good travel history and to make your case even more stronger, a relative from canada to sponsor your stay.

Yes you can apply for an extension once you get there. But they would make it a nightmare for you to get the visa in the first place!! I have got rejected twice!
