The answer is in the posts above this, there is no guarantee you will be allowed either back in after such a short exit nor allowed 6 months given it implies you are trying to live in Canada as a visitor.

As am sure you are aware a multi entry visa gives no absolute rights to enter the country, it just avoids having to reapply for a new Visa each visit. Usually people apply for an extended stay from within Canada for this reason.

The decision will be with the CBSA officer at the border and as said if less than convincing reason for returning so soon entry could be denied.

1) There are no hard and fast rules
2) You can try but you may be refused entry for trying to use your visitors visa to live in Canada. Generally, you should try to spend at least six months outside of Canada each year to demonstrate that you are a genuine tourist. If you want to try to stay in Canada an extra six months, you are better off applying for an extension to your visit from inside of Canada (before your visit ends) rather than making a short trip across the border into the US. You'll need to provide a good reason why you are requesting an extension of six months.

No - it's not compulsory. You can travel whenever you want to.

Hi,

I am in the same situation. I need to leave the country on June 15th. What is the best to do:

1. apply for the extension
2. leave the country and come back in 2 weeks? ( I have a Super Visa )

I am very confused what is the best option. Is someone here who was in the same situation?


Thank you!

Hi there,

I have a similar situation to others. I hope somebody can give me an advice in my case.

I have multiple entry visitors visa and I visited canada last March 2018 for 12 days with a valid UAE work permit. Now, I am planning to visit again in canada by June for 2 weeks and by this time my UAE work permit will be cancelled. My question is - do they allow me to entry to canada with cancelled UAE work permit? As I am coming from UAE to Canada.

Thanks a ton.

You can travel to Canada. However, your entry and length of stay would be determined by the CBSA officer at the port of entry. You could be asked to show documents/evidence of your ties to the UAE and/or to your home country

This is the third time my mother is visiting us, last 2 times she went back within 6 months of stay. This time we would like to extend her stay. She is planing to visit her daughter in USA and planing to spent at least a month time with her. She landed on March 2018 this time. So whats our best bet ? Let her go and visit her daughter in USA and while entering back, do Canadian officials allow her to say 6 more months or its better to extend her visitor's visa within Canada. If that's the most sensible option, whats the procedure for the same , Kindly advice ?

Thank you for responding.
What do you think will happen if I do not have any documents to show? They will not allow me at all..

It's a risk that you'd be taking. You may be asked for proof of your ties, you may not be asked. It's anyone's guess.

Even if your UAE work permit/residence permit won't be valid when you arrive, you could bring evidence of other your ties to the UAE and/or to your home country + a return ticket is a must (to your home country, if you don't have a visa to return to the UAE)

It would depend on the assessment made by the visa officer.


What is the process and minimum requirement to get this visa.
You can start here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool.html


IELTS is mandatory for this or not ?
IELTS is not required.


Is any blood relative is necessary or compulsory to get a multiple entry visa ?
Again, a MEV/SEV will depend on whether or not the visa officer believes you need to visit multiple times in the future
