Hi there,

I just heard a piece of news and wonder if it is true. I am a PR and my parents just visited Canada for 6 months which is the visa office allowed for. I heard that if my parents leave Canada on time, their next visit can be as long as 2 years, is that true?

Thanks

Visits are normally 6 months or shorter, but you can always request for an extension.

I should think you would have any problems. US green card holders and citizens of Poland do not require visitor visa to enter Canada.

Many people do not require a visa to visit Canada. These include:

* citizens of Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Botswana, Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel (National Passport holders only), Italy, Japan, Korea (Republic of), Latvia (Republic of), Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Portugal, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Solomon Islands, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Slovenia, Switzerland, United States, and Western Samoa;
* persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence;
* British citizens and British Overseas Citizens who are re-admissible to the United Kingdom;
