Apply to Extend Your Stay in Canada by Up to 1 Year with a Visitor Record.
A Visitor Record is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows you to extend your authorized stay in Canada as a visitor – typically by up to 12 months. It does not guarantee re-entry into Canada but allows you to legally remain in the country beyond the expiry date of your original visitor status.
If you’re currently in Canada on a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) or entered under an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), and wish to stay longer than initially allowed (usually 6 months), you must apply for a Visitor Record before your current status expires.
The Visitor Record is an excellent option if you:
✅ Want to stay longer with family or loved ones
✅ Need extra time for tourism, recovery, or travel disruptions
✅ Are awaiting decisions on other IRCC applications (e.g., spousal sponsorship, PR, work/study permits)
You must submit your Visitor Record application at least 30 days before your current status expires. If approved, the record will state the new expiry date of your stay, and you’ll be under maintained status while waiting for a decision – meaning you can legally stay in Canada even after your previous status expires.
