Visitor Visa problem with CIC website - UK Citizen

[dj322]

Hi guys

I'm a UK citizen currently in Canada and I am trying to apply for a visitor visa extension. However when I go onto the "lovely, user-friendly" website to make an online application, there appears to be issues. I'm assuming I need to create a MyCIC login, but in order to do that I need to login with either:

1) GCKey
2) or Sign-In Partner

I have neither, so there doesn't appear to be an option just to create a MyCIC login directly. Am I missing something or is there a different link I should be looking at? The link I am currently looking at is:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/mycic.asp

Or is the only option a paper application???

Thanks peeps!

Thanks. I did try that but at the end of it it says:

"To begin, you can only visit Canada for six months. If you want to visit longer, you can apply to extend your stay from within Canada."

And it has a whole load of other stuff and at the end there is no link or anything, just the exit button.

You got to click on GCKey Login and once you are there than click on register for GC Key.

You can create your login credentials either with GCKEY or singin partner .

Just click that GCKEY register and register as new user .
