*THIS IS WHAT I WROTE FOR MY LETTER OF EXPLANATION FOR MY EXTENSION. PLEASE GIVE ME INPUT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE SUBMITTED A SUCCESSFUL EXTENSION BEFORE. THANKS!!*

Application to Change Conditions: Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor:
Letter of Explanation:
My full name here

This is an additional document, explaining my particular situation in applying to extend my stay as a visitor in Canada.
I would like to extend my stay so to complete my application for Permanent Residence, as well as to stay with my husband during the process of waiting for PR. My husband and I plan on submitting an application for permanent residence through the Family Class- Spousal. We have already paid the $1040 for the Sponsor fee, Principal applicant fee, and RPRF. The receipt is attached below as an image. This shows we are serious about submitting the Permanent Residence application.
I am requesting roughly 12 months of an extension to allow enough time for the wait times that are shown via the VO office I will submit my permanent resident application to.
I understand that as a visitor I am not allowed to work or go to school. I will only be visiting with my husband and that is all. If my extension as a visitor is denied, or if permanent residence is not granted, I would leave so as to comply with CIC’s wishes.

Thank you for your consideration of my application to extend my stay as a visitor.
My full name

********Note about Supporting Documents
Pertaining to Proof of means of Financial Support:
I planned to submit my husband’s bank statements for the last 4 months and downloaded them from his bank’s website in PDF form. Unfortunately I cannot merge the 4 into one document as they are password protected for safety by the bank. I have submitted my husband’s pay stubs instead and screen captured my husband’s most recent bank statement from both his checking and savings.




*after this is our receipt for PR and marriage certificate*
