Types of Canada visa and extension:
Your temporary resident status expires after you have submitted your application for an extension but before you receive a decision on your application. You can stay in Canada under an ‘implied status’, which means the law implies you are a temporary resident. That status lasts until Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) take a decision on your new permit application.
If you have a single-entry visa, this allows you to enter Canada once. If you leave Canada during your authorized stay, you must get a new visitor visa to re-enter Canada, unless you visit the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon (Conditions applied).
An application to change conditions or extend your visa in Canada is applicable for individuals who are already here and they include:
- Visitors to Canada
- Study permit holders
- Work permit holders
A Canadian visa extension is for individuals who at the time of the application have valid status in the country.
