Dear all,
I am a student from the Netherlands and for the past 5 months I studied in Toronto. Because the Netherlands is a visa exempt country and the period was less than 6 months, I do not have a study permit (my official status is visitor). Unfortunately I had little opportunity to travel the last last 5 months, and there are still many Canadian cities and places I like to visit which I will not be able to do within the 6 months period of my initial arrival in Canada. Next week I will make a trip to NYC, I was wondering if the 6 months will be reset upon return to Canada.
I already booked a return ticket to the Netherlands for May if that makes any difference.
Does someone has experience in leaving and re-entering Canada to reset the 6 months limit? Is this possible and legal?
Hopefully someone can answer this questions
Regards
Mark Haegens
