Status Extension
If you are in Canada on a temporary resident status, such as a study permit, work permit, or temporary resident visa, and you want to extend your stay, you may need to apply for an extension before your current status expires.
​
At JSSG immigration consultancy in Brampton, we can help you understand the requirements for extending your temporary resident status and guide you through the application process. To apply for an extension, you will need to provide information about your current status in Canada, the reason for your request to extend your stay, and any supporting documents as required.
Eligibility for a status extension will depend on the type of temporary resident status you have and the reason for your request. For example, if you are in Canada on a study permit, you must be able to demonstrate that you are making satisfactory progress in your studies and that you have the financial resources to cover your tuition and living expenses while you are studying in Canada. If you are in Canada on a work permit, you must be able to demonstrate that you are still working for the same employer and that your work is still needed in Canada.
​
Our experienced immigration consultants can assist you with every step of the process, from reviewing your documents and ensuring that you meet the eligibility requirements to submitting your application and following up with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on the status of your application. We can also provide support and advice on issues related to living, working, or studying in Canada while on temporary resident status.
