Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice about extending my visitor record in Canada. I came to Canada in September 2024 on a tourist visa and was initially allowed to stay for six months. I then applied for an extension of about 3–4 months, but IRCC granted me a one-year visitor record instead. Altogether, I have now stayed in Canada for 1 year and 6 months. I’ve been staying with my partner’s parents, who provide both housing and financial support. I have family back home, including my dad and brother, and I fully intend to return to them after my stay.
I would like to stay in Canada a bit longer to continue spending time with my partner and their family and to experience life here. I want to make the most of my time in the country before returning home.
Now, I want to extend my stay for another six months, but I’m worried about being rejected since I’ve already stayed quite a long time in total.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there a good chance of getting approved for another visitor record extension. Any advice or experiences would be really helpful!
