Hi :)

I am currently in Canada on a tourist visa which is due to expire at the end of July. I have a family class PR application in process. The sponsorship has been approved, CSQ should be approved in the next week or so and the application is currently is in London with the medicals. I am from Ireland (visa-waiver). The question is I need to extend my visa to cover to the time between the end of july and when it gets approved(hopefully!) and I hopefully get the PR, which would hopefully be September-October.

How likely is it that I get the extension granted?
How do I go about applying for the extension?
When should I submit the request?

Thanks for any help!

Apply close to the expiration of you allowed visit, but make sure application package reaches vegreville within the validity of the visit. Send a copy of the receipt paid for your family class sponsorship.

Okay thank you. What do you mean by reaching Vegreville? Our application went to Mississauga for sponsorship approval (which was approved) and is now in London.

All visitors, work, study extensions in Canada go to Vegreville for processing.
