Visa Extension Services by New Steps Immigration

If you’re in Canada on a temporary visa and need to extend your stay, New Steps Immigration is here to help. Whether you’re on a visitor visa, work permit, or study permit, extending your visa is crucial to maintaining your legal status and continuing your stay in Canada without interruption. Our experienced team provides expert guidance throughout the visa extension process to ensure a smooth and successful extension.

What is a Visa Extension?

A Visa Extension allows individuals who are already in Canada to prolong their stay beyond the original period granted by their visa. This applies to various types of temporary visas, including visitor visas, work permits, and study permits. Extending your visa ensures that you remain in compliance with Canadian immigration laws and continue to enjoy your time in Canada without facing the risk of overstaying.

Types of Visa Extensions We Assist With:

• Visitor Visa Extension:
  If you wish to stay in Canada longer than initially planned, we help you apply for an extension of your visitor visa. We ensure that your application demonstrates a valid reason for the extended stay and that all required documents are provided.

• Work Permit Extension:
  For individuals holding a work permit who need more time to complete their employment, we assist with extending your work permit. This includes verifying the ongoing validity of your job offer and ensuring that your application aligns with Canadian immigration regulations.

• Study Permit Extension:
  If you need additional time to complete your studies, we support you in applying for an extension of your study permit. We ensure that you have the necessary documentation from your educational institution and that your application is submitted before your current permit expires.
