Visitor Extension

[BeShoo]

It seems like they're more likely to give 1 year if the PR application is part-way through the process. It helps I think if you've at least filed it, and it's even better if the sponsorship is approved, and better yet if if applicant has some kind of first stage approval.

Congrats Did you ask for 6 months? Or is that all CPC-V gave you? Such a relief when the document comes through the mail and not a letter

Thank you I actually only asked for 6 more months. Luckily I have an immigration lawyer in my close family, and she recommended just asking for 6 months. Im not really sure why... and I doubt they would have denied me 1 year if I had asked for it, especially if you are in a good situation with your PR application. Mine was not even through the first stage though when I applied for my visitor extension. It is now, fingers crossed its finished within the next 6 months! Good luck DJ with your extension

Hey all,

I'd like to apply for an extension for my husband in September. His passport was stamped from June 20- October 30 (his plane ticket is for October 12) I'm 33 weeks pregnant, he'll be here for the birth. How long should I ask for an extension 6 months or a year? Is it worst to ask for a year??
Please help!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi lovebajan. I dont know if its best to apply for 6 months or a year. I was advised 6 months, as that is how long I am allowed to stay in Canada when I visit (from the UK). However, I am sure there are many people who ask for different lengths of time. I dont know if asking for a year would make much difference... if they dont want to give you the year they will just give you 6 months right
