- Visitor Visa Function: Shows the applicant meets entry requirements and includes the date of arrival, which is not an expiry date for the visit. Automatically included in approved study or work permit applications.
Visitor Record
- Visitor Record Function: Issued by border services or immigration to extend or restrict a stay in Canada beyond 6 months.
- Visitor Record Requirements: Needed if you want to stay longer than 6 months, either on arrival or while in Canada. Application must be made at least 30 days before the current visa expiration.
