Hello All

My wife and I are currently in Canada on TRV-Visitor visa. Our EE application is in process simultaneously. Our EE profile will complete 6 months in Sep 2016 and our TRV-Visitor granted stay of 6 months will expire in Aug 2016.

We would like to continue our stay in Canada, with the hopes that our EE application should be finalized within the published processing time of 6 months as per IRCC.

I have seen the form on cic website for TRV-Visitor extension. However, it say we need to apply 30 days before the expiry. What if I am late, and have only 1-2 weeks left before expiry?

Please help me.

Thank you

I would state that my PR file is almost finalized and I want to extend my stay.

To re-phrase my question, is the 30 day application rule stringent? Or can I apply for extension with 1-2 weeks to spare before my stay period expires?

re-posting this to bump it up in the forum.

Can I apply for visitor visa extension 1-2 weeks before my stay-period expires? Does it have to be 30 days in advance?

Thank you

You can apply to extend your visitor status up until it expires. The 30 days is a suggestion, not a requirement.
