Who This Is For

The visa extension process is for anyone already in Canada on a temporary status who needs more time before their current permit or visa expires. Common situations include:

• Visitors wanting to extend their stay beyond the original period
• Study permit holders continuing their program
• Work permit holders awaiting a new job offer or renewal
• Applicants whose PR or other application is still in process
• Restoring status after a permit has recently expired

Documents You'll Typically Need

Requirements vary by the type of status being extended, but generally include:

• ✓ Valid passport
• ✓ Copy of your current visa, study permit, or work permit
• ✓ Proof of continued eligibility — funds, enrollment, or employment
• ✓ A clear explanation for why the extension is needed
• ✓ Updated bank statements or income proof
• ✓ Any supporting letters (employer, institution, or sponsor)
