Hi to everyone , I'm in Canada on a visitor visa and my visa is going to expire . I didn't ask for an extension because I don't have a valid reason to stay longer , but I really would like to . So I'm thinking about leaving Canada and go back to Europe for a very short time and come back to Canada . I have been here often in the last years for longer times . I have the hope to apply for immigration someday and I don't want to have any problems with immigration . So my question is , If I do that , leave and come back shortly after will I have problems or jeopardise my immigrations hopes ?
Thanks to everyone for the time and the attention

No one can predict if you will have problems at immigration or not. What happens at immigration (i.e. whether you are allowed into the country or not and for how long) is up to the officer you speak to. However if you have been spending more time in Canada over the last few years than outside of Canada - this increases the chances that you could run into problems at immigration. But again - it's impossible to say what will actually happen.

Whatever happens at the border, it should not create problems for your immigration hopes. The only thing that could create problems is an exclusion order (i.e. if you are not only refused entry into Canada but also banned from re-entering for a few years). The chances of this happening are low.

Each time you seek entry to Canada, as you may know from past experience, you need to provide evidence that you will depart at the end of your stay or you could be refused entry.

There is nothing to stop you from immediately seeking to return to Canada, but I would think you may start to raise questions about the genuineness of being a visitor in the mind of the examining officer so you may want to think about that.

Provided you satisfy the officer of your intention to depart, do not work or study without authorization and leave when you are required to that should not have any bearing on your success in an application to immigrate to Canada if you meet all the criteria for that process.
