Hey everyone!
My visiter visa is about to expire (in 2 weeks). My application has been received 42 days ago. I was hoping someone could confirm that as soon as the application status changes to 'in process' I will be in fact allowed to stay in the country without having to apply for an extension.
Thanks so much for your help!
Please have your visitor extension application ready and wait until the last day of your visit visa expiry. If you wouldn’t get AOR then you must submit visitor extension online a day before the expiry of your visa to prevent falling in over stay status.
I Myself is a victim of this, I didn’t filed visitor extension thinking that I will receive AOR soon but my application came back after 3 months due to a small error and now I had to file restoration of status first and then I resubmitted my PR and OWP application.
I would suggest you not to do the same mistake and you must file visitor extension if you won’t get AOR by the end of your visitor visa. You will be fine as long as you submit online application a day before expiry of your status and you will be considered on implied status from the day your visa will be expired.
It cost you only $100 and it will save you from bigger hassle and more fee for restoration of status on later stage!
Hope my answer helps ! Thanks and welcome to the club !
