Extend or Change Conditions of Your Permit

If you are in Canada as a visitor, student, or worker, extending or changing your permit’s conditions before it expires is essential. Maintaining your legal status is crucial to avoid complications with future applications. We help ensure you submit the correct documents and meet the eligibility criteria.

Processing Time:

  • Visitor Record Extension: 30 to 90 days
  • Study Permit Extension: 30 to 90 days
  • Work Permit Extension: 2 to 3 months

Restoration of Status

If your status (visitor, worker, study permit) has expired, you may still be eligible to restore it within 90 days. Restoration allows you to regain legal status without leaving Canada, provided you continue to meet eligibility requirements.

Processing Time:

  • Restoration applications: 3 to 5 months.

Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)

Planning a visit to Canada? Depending on your nationality, you may require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before your arrival.

Processing Time:

  • TRV: 1 to 8 weeks (depending on the visa office)
  • eTA: A few minutes to 72 hours

Yes, if you apply before your current permit expires, you will have maintained status and can remain in Canada under the same conditions.

If it has been less than 90 days, you may apply for restoration of status. After 90 days, you may need to leave Canada and reapply.

This depends on your nationality. We will assess your situation and guide you through the appropriate application.

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) allows individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to Canada to enter or remain in the country for a specific period, if their need to be in Canada outweighs the reasons for inadmissibility. TRPs are issued at the discretion of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and are granted only in exceptional circumstances.

FAQs

No. TRPs are granted at the discretion of an immigration officer and are issued only if the person’s need to be in Canada outweighs the reasons for inadmissibility.

Yes, but you must apply for and receive the appropriate work or study permit in addition to your TRP.
