Hello all.

I know I do not need any special permission to enter Canada as a tourist being a UK national.

But stay with me on this...

I came to Canada for 6 months with my return ticket booked and paid for at the 6 month mark. It is currently just after the 2 month mark and my partner (Canadian) and I wish to leave Canada to visit her relatives in Panama but we worry that I will not be able to come back to Canada.

Can I apply for a tourist visa to guarantee my re-entry? When I get to the airport, would I be better to ask for tourist permission until the original date at the 6 month mark or would I be able to request a further 6 months for the re-entry?

Any and all info would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
