Canada welcomes people with arms wide open and a big smile on its face! Every year, people from all over the globe visit this amazing country with plenty of dreams in their eyes. Depending upon the purpose of visit, applicants are required to fulfill certain mandatory requirements in order to acquire a visa (for instance Temporary Resident Visa, in this case)
Visitors are allowed to stay temporarily in Canada for a maximum of six months, but in exceptions, they may be allowed to extend their stay for which they have to apply for “extension.” It is mandatory to send your “extension” application at least a month before the expiry of your visa. The applicants are eligible to extend the stay if they are planning to:

• Extend the course that they are studying in a Canadian institution
• Wish to visit or work longer in Canada
• Plan to change the type of permit (for instance, change a study permit to a work permit)
• Change the location of job or the educational institution where the applicant is commencing a course

In addition, there are other legal formalities that are attired with the process of “extending your stay” in Canada. It would be beneficial to take assistance from an immigration veteran and know further.

With the recent liberalization of rules, students who are studying in Canada and are on summer break would find it convenient to work, gain financial independence and have the relevant work experience for their future benefit. In addition, they don’t have to spend extra money and travel to their home country to gain work experience while they are on their summer break.

The benefits are also amplified to the spouses of foreign students as they are entitled to an open work permit and if found eligible, can work full time anywhere after getting a work permit for a fee of $150.00.

In addition, on-campus employment is valid for all those applicants who are enrolled in an accepted institution; while on the other hand, the off-campus restrictions are not too stringent too. Here are some of the regulations:

• A full-time student having a study permit is eligible to work on campus after fulfilling the essential requirements.
• As far as the off-campus work regulations are concerned, it is essential that the applicant should have an enrollment in an approved educational institution with a full-time course.
