Visitor Record
Already in Canada and want to stay longer? Whether you're nearing your 6-month limit or entered knowing you'd like an extended stay, you may need to apply for a Visitor Record to remain in Canada legally beyond your initial period.

It is required if you are approaching the 6-month limit, or if you already know upon entry that you want to stay longer than 6 months. This is a separate document that is not placed in your passport. The minimum processing time is 204 days.
