Visa Extension

Visa Extension Services by New Steps Immigration

If you need to extend your stay in Canada, it’s important to apply for a visa extension before your current visa expires. At New Steps Immigration, we provide expert assistance to help you navigate the visa extension process smoothly and efficiently.

What is a Visa Extension?

A visa extension allows you to prolong your stay in Canada beyond the original expiry date of your visa. This process is essential for individuals who wish to remain in Canada for a longer period due to various reasons, such as continuing studies, extended work assignments, or personal circumstances.

Eligibility for Visa Extension:

To be eligible for a visa extension, you generally must:

1. Apply Before Expiry:
Submit your application for an extension before your current visa expires. It is advisable to apply at least 30 days before the expiry date to avoid any issues with your legal status.

2. Maintain Status:
Ensure that you have maintained legal status in Canada throughout your stay and comply with the terms and conditions of your current visa.

3. Demonstrate Continued Eligibility:
Show that you continue to meet the eligibility requirements for the type of visa you are seeking to extend. This includes proving your purpose for extending your stay and demonstrating your ability to support yourself financially.
