Visa extension

[Melissab]

Hi, my human is a permanent resident and I am on a visiting visa, I was approved an extension on my visa that expire on October 9 but am leaving Canada in July, my question is after leaving Canada will I be allowed to return

Are you sure? I thought the extension became invalid once they leave.

"If we approve your application to extend your stay in Canada, we’ll give you a visitor record.

A visitor record:

• is a document that says how long you can stay in Canada
• includes an expiry date
  • that’s the date that you must leave Canada by

A visitor record does not guarantee entry to Canada. If you plan to travel outside Canada or the United States, you need a valid entry document to return to Canada"

I do have a document that allowed me to stay in Canada until October 9 but am leaving in July, will there be any problem if I leave before October 9, when I want to return to Canada, what other documents do I need?

I interpret that as soon as you leave your extension is over, even though you had it as October 9 it is cancelled as soon as you leave. You then need another valid entry document to return.
So how long is your visitor visa valid for in your passport? was it a multi entry visa?

 

[Melissab]

Yes it’s a multi entry visa, it’s a 10 year visa, do I need other documents other wise from the visa what other documents will I need to return to Canada?

If you have a multi entry 10 year visa then that is what you need to return. One catch is that on a visitor visa you are not allowed to live in Canada only visit, so if you come back too soon after leaving there is a chance they can refuse you. How long will you be staying out of the country before coming back? How long have you already been in Canada?
