EXTENSIONS WITHIN CANADA
Introduction
Extensions within Canada are a vital aspect of the Canadian immigration system, allowing temporary residents, such as visitors, students, and temporary workers, to extend their stay in this diverse and welcoming country. These extensions are designed to accommodate individuals who wish to continue their educational pursuits, work experiences, or simply explore more of Canada’s beauty and opportunities.
Key Types of Extensions

To streamline the process:
- Apply for an extension 3 to 4 months before the current permit expires.
- Applying too close to expiry leads to “implied status,” restricting work and study.
- Choices then narrow down to a challenging status restoration or leaving Canada for a fresh permit application from home.
For a hassle-free extension:
- Electronically apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
- Prefer online submissions for temporary resident permit extensions, study permits, and work permits from within Canada.
