What is a Visitor Record Extension?
Overview of Visitor Record Extension Canada
A Visitor Record Extension is a formal request submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to extend your legal stay in Canada as a visitor. It is not a visa and does not authorize work or study.
This option is available exclusively to individuals already inside Canada whose visitor status is nearing expiry and who require additional time for a legitimate, temporary purpose—supported by proper documentation and compliance history.
