There are numerous circumstances where a foreign national may require an extension of their stay in Canada. If you arrived in Canada as a visitor or temporary resident and need to prolong your stay, it is essential to take steps to extend your visitor status legally.
STUDENTS
The Student Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay program enables international students currently in Canada to apply for changes to their existing conditions or extensions to their permitted period of stay. Designed for students who need to modify their study arrangements or extend their stay beyond the initially authorized duration, this program allows applicants to complete the Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada. Applicants specify their desired changes or extensions and provide relevant details about their circumstances.

WORKERS
The Worker Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay program allows individuals currently in Canada under a work permit to request changes to their existing conditions or extensions to their authorized period of stay. Additionally, workers needing to restore their status and obtain a new work permit can seek assistance through this program. It is important to note that the expiry date on the work permit indicates when individuals must cease working in Canada, and in most cases, it also signifies the end of their temporary resident status. If there is a specified “Must leave Canada by” date on the work permit, individuals’ status in Canada expires accordingly, even if it differs from the permit’s expiry date. Failing to adhere to the conditions on the work permit or to apply for an extension or change before its expiration may result in the loss of status.
TRP HOLDERS
The Remain in Canada as a Temporary Resident Permit Holder program provides individuals with the opportunity to extend their stay in Canada under specific circumstances. Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs) are issued to individuals who do not meet the regular requirements for entry or stay in Canada but have compelling reasons to be allowed to remain temporarily. This program allows TRP holders to continue staying in Canada beyond their initial authorized period, providing them with the opportunity to address their unique situations, such as humanitarian or compassionate grounds, or for purposes like work or study. By offering flexibility and consideration for individual circumstances, the program ensures that those with valid reasons can maintain their status in Canada while adhering to immigration regulations.
VISITORS
The Visitor Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay program allows individuals currently in Canada as visitors to apply for either a change in their conditions or an extension of their stay. This program is intended for those who need to modify the terms of their visitor status or prolong their stay beyond the initially authorized period. Applicants must complete the Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada form (IMM 5708), specifying whether they are requesting a change in conditions or an extension, and providing relevant details about their situation.
