CAN I GET A CANADA VISA EXTENSION?

Visa extensions are usually requested if the applicants cannot go back to their home countries within visa validation time (Normally 180 days) based on various reasons.

To extend your stay in Canada you will need to apply for a visitor record. A visitor record is a document that gives you a visitor status in Canada by allowing you to stay longer than you were originally allowed. However, you must request one before your current status expires directly on Canada’s official website.

If your status is already expired or if you’re planning to visit Canada within the next few weeks, you will need a valid admission document or ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to be able to enter or return to this country. You will also have to show a Health Declaration at the moment of your arrival.

Luckily, you can process these travel documents with the help of iVisa.com easily and safely before your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS AN ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION AND WHY DO I NEED ONE TO ENTER CANADA?

An Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a mandatory entry document that you must show when traveling to Canada by air. The ETA will be electronically attached to your valid passport. With this Electronic Travel Authorization, you will be able to visit Canada as often as you need for short-term stays or for up to six months at a time. If you don’t have an ETA when you arrive, you will be denied entry to this country.

You can request your Canada ETA through iVisa’s highly intuitive platform.

WHAT IS A HEALTH DECLARATION AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?

A Health Declaration is a document in which you have to declare your health condition truthfully along with your travel records of the last 14 days prior to your trip.

You can obtain this document directly at Canada’s airport and wait a long time to be screened once you arrive, or you can request a digital one before you travel with iVisa.com’s services.
