Planning your application
Wanting to stay longer with family is different from needing a new travel visa. A visitor record application concerns your stay in Canada. Understanding the date and conditions of your current authorized stay is the starting point.
How Value Visa can help
We review the reason for an extension, how the extended visit will be supported and the documents showing your current status. Bring any entry stamps or previous visitor records, even if you also hold a valid visa in your passport.
Your review is specific to your circumstances. We explain the proposed work and confirm fees in writing before beginning. Government fees are separate.
Documents to discuss
Bring the records you already have to the consultation. This starting list does not replace the personalized checklist for your application.
- Passport, entry stamps and existing visitor records
- Reason for the extended stay
- Funding and host support documents
- Previous applications and travel plans
For the initial inquiry, describe your situation and deadlines. Ask us how to share sensitive documents before emailing identity or financial records.
Current official guidance
Requirements, fees and processing information can change. Use the official instructions alongside advice about your own circumstances.

Does a visitor record replace a visa for travel?
No. Extending your stay and holding the documents needed to travel are separate matters. Tell us about planned travel before you rely on an extension application.
What will a consultation cover?
We discuss your goal, immigration history and the documents available, identify questions that need further review and explain the scope of assistance. Fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; government fees are separate.
Can Value Visa guarantee approval or a processing date?
No. IRCC makes immigration decisions, and processing times can change. We help prepare a complete, consistent application and explain the next steps without promising an outcome.
