Hello guys,
Please help!!
I just arrived in Vancouver with a terrible experience at the custom....
I extended my visitor visa October last year but got it in January this year. It allows me to stay until April 5th. However, I spent about 2 weeks and then went back to my country because of family’s request. I thought after I left Canada then that visitor visa is no longer valid, but today, the officer told me it’s still valid until April 5th. (I came in without a visa because I am from visa-exemption country)
The problem is: I came back for the exam in May, and I want to practice with my previous classmates from UBC. Because the exam is much like counseling, we need to do it face to face. The officer did not even take a look at my explaination letter, but she said I cannot do that without a study permit. I was so confused at the moment. Now, I think she was also confused by me; she thought I wanted to go to school.
Anyhow, she didn’t let me explain anything. She said I can only stay until April 5th, which is the date I applied for last extension.
What can I do? I am going to take the exam in May and June. Can I extend my visa? How? What should I provide? Will it be possible to get the extension?
I am so frustrated.
