Hi there,

I hope that you can help as I have tried calling the Canadian High Comm but to no avail.

I had a 6 month visa for 10th Jan until 9th July this year (just a normal stamped passport) and entered on the 10th and left a few days or so before my visa exit date expired.

I am waiting to start work in a couple of weeks' time in Europe and since there has been a delay with my starting date I was thinking about going back into Canada for a week to see my partner (who I met whilst I was in Canada last time) as we won't see each other for a few months so this is a great time to see each other!

However, I have heard that because I have already spent 6 months in Canada this year already I am not allowed back in for the same amount of time.

Can someone please enlighten me to whether I can go back in for a few, next week? Naturally I don't want to pay an airfare, get all the way there only to be refused entry!

Thank you

Urban legend. As long as you can show that you will be leaving Canada, and have proof of funds/return ticket then you probably won't have a problem entering for a couple of weeks.
