Hi all here .
First i want to apologize for my English .Secondly i want to ask some things . I from Greece and i want to come to Canada like a tourist , i know that the maximum is 6 months but i think isn't so good ( i think ) to take from the begining all the days because they don't let you come in , they will assume that i come to find a job ( i am 41 years old ) , let's say that i say to them that i am here ( Canada ) for 1 month just for vacation . Can i extension this after one month ends ? and how ? The procedure is easy ?
I would appreciate any help !!!

Visa extension application must be submitted 30 days prior to the expiry of the visa. However, if the visa expires while the extension application is being processed, you can remain in Canada on "implied status".

I think the bigger issue for you is getting the tourist visa in the first place. Due to the financial difficulties in Greece, CIC may think you will not return to your home country after your visa expires. Here are some of the documents that you should submit with the application:
1. Letter of employment showing your salary
2. Ownership documents of house, land, etc
3. Bank statement showing your account balance

Good Luck

Greece was exempt from Visa years before the European Union or the Schengen act. But O-guy is right in a way! Due to the circumstances of the austerity crisis he/she might be turned back at the border of entry if the CBSA feels he/she has an intend to remain in Canada.
