Hi folks,
I have a question around calculation of duration for a visitor and would appreciate if any of you can provide guidance.
Lets suppose person X entered Canada on 28th April 2015 with a ten year multiple entry visitor visa. He is authorized to stay in Canada till 28th October 2015 which is six months from date of entry. Person X leaves Canada on 25th October 2015 to visit a relative in London, UK which is not his home country. He then comes back to Canada on 30th October, 2015 for re-entry.
My questions are :
1. When person X re enters Canada on 30th October, 2015 will that be counted as a new stay which means he can stay for another 6 months starting 30th October?
2. Does person X have to return to home country only or can go to any destination outside Canada to be considered for re-entry?
Thank you
