Thanks for the video. I recently completed my studies and hold a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). However, my wife’s open work permit, along with our visas (mine, my wife's, and my children's - aged 7 and 5), will expire in March of next year. Could you kindly advise on the type of application and forms required for each of us? Thank you for your assistance.
I loved your very detailed explanation. Is it possible to renew your TRV from inside Canada if a minor child, who is in elementary school, is under a visitor record? I only found the TRV option for work and study permit holders not for visitors.
It will be possible. They do not indicate it clearly on the website, so it seems confusing. Since minor dependents can study without a permit (as visitors), I would approach the TRV application considering the visitor record, and proof of enrolment in public schools, is the valid status document that allows your child to study. If it's just your dependents application, I would recommend you include all the other stuff too in client information (your permit, your visa, birth certificate listing you as parent).
for Iranian policy, for question: What does your family member want to do in Canada? for kids (6 years old) what should I select? remain visitor or study permit? and which form should I fill out for kids? thank you
Thank you for this video! I'm having problems applying for my child TRV, the only option I get is to extend his visitor record while I need the TRV, should I include that I'm outside of Canada to get the proper form? Thank you
Thank you for the info. I received my PGWP and want to apply for TRV. I know it’s very straightforward. However I have my spouse (open work permit) and kid (student visa) and want to add their TRV application too. While filling application online there is a question: What does your family memebr want to do in Canada 1. Apply to remain in Canada as a visitor 2. Apply for or extend an open work permit 3. Apply for or extend a study permit 4. Apply for or extend both a work permit and a study permit. Is this the option 1st that I need to choose based on my scenario? Please advise. Thanks
I’m not 100% sure how it would look in the GC Key for applicants so it’s tough to advise on this. But you want to get to the point where, you, and your family members will need to fill out each an IMM 5257, show proof they are on valid status, and be given the opportunity to complete an IMM 5713 (use of a family representative) if it’s all in one GC Key. I believe it would be as a visitor, because you are submitting a visa application. It’s worded poorly, but on 5257 you’ll have the option to select “return to Canada to study” or “to work” (for Your wife). I wouldn’t select 2,3,4 because you’re not applying for permits or extensions (going to Edmonton), you’re applying for visas (going to Ottawa). If you choose 1, and it gives all your family the necessity to upload a 5257, you are on the right track. I’d try with the other options as well, and see if you can get to the IMM 5257 for your family members, or the ability to select “apply for a temporary resident visa” www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-new-temporary-resident-visa-within-canada.html#how-apply
Hi Steven. Thanks for this great video. I want to ask, in attaching paylips/Certificate of Employment, shalI I also include the part-time job ( working 2-3 times in a month) or just the full time one is enough. Thnak you.
Thanks for your great advice. I have a question and would appreciate any guidance you can give. Can you advise where someone has studied in Canada and having completed school was able to apply for a post graduate work permit that was granted for 2 years. However that work permit is about to expire in a month’s time. An application is being prepared for the permanent residence and prior a profile had been submitted for Express Entry but has not yet received an Invitation to apply for PR. What are the options open to me as I currently have a job and financial commitments within Canada and would like to stay and work legally whilst my PR is processing. What should I be applying for in order to stay in Canada
Great explanation. Had a question: My mom has a valid visit visa til Aug 2025 (because that is when her passport expires). I am planning to get the pp renewed (for another 5yr validity, the country of her citizenship renews only for 5yrs at a time) and then enter Canada on the visit visa that was issued with the old passport, and at that time, can I renew the visit visa now that my new passport is valid for another 5yrs?
Hey Steven! Great video. I hope I can get to you with this question- I am waiting on my PGWP (applied within Canada). Both of my study permit and visa have expired after the submittion of the PGWP application. I need to travel home soon and I was hoping to apply for visitor TRV visa. Is there a chance for me to do that while I am waiting on my decision? Many thanks in advance! Filip
Hello, thank you. This video helped me a lot, but one question remains: my open WP and visa expire together. So, which one should I renew first? Thank you very much 😁.
Hello Steven, I'm in a situation where I let my Student visa expire. this was in March. I applied for a new TRV but i got a visitors record instead outlining that I must leave canada by December 31, 2024. Meanwhile my study and work permit are valid until July, 2025. Please advise.
Hello Steven, thanks for the helpful video. I was just wondering according to another video I watched, does extending your TRV influences in any way the application for PGWP, do I have a chance of getting rejected because of this? I got my study permit extended for almost 6 months, I need a TRV to be able to get out of the country and back in December; but my study permit will expire in Jan2025, and I’m planning to apply for the PGWP. Thank you in advance.
Hi there. Actually I have applied for my PR and still waiting for my invitation from more than 2 years, I did not get any acceptance or rejection since then. so in order to make my status legal I applied for my visitors status and got approval and last month I got an Extension on my Visitor Record. Now the problem is that my previous TRV stamp has been expired with the validity of my passport. Now I got my passport updates but cant get any option to apply for TRV stamp as per my new Visitor Record. Could you please help me getting my TRV stamping on my visa.
I have no idea what type of PR you've applied for and why you're on visitor status. How long have you been on visitor status, is it impossible to apply for a work permit? You can apply for a TRV from inside Canada, I would provide a strong letter of explanation, and all supporting documents required, as to why you need to leave and re-enter. The checklist and requirements are guidelines, and aren't always correct, but I feel in your case, I can't see why you wouldn't be able to renew your visa stamp from within Canada, while being on valid status, even visitor. If you want case-specific immigration advice, I invite you to book a consultation through my website, and I'd be happy to have a deep dive into your file and circumstances.
Could you please help the parents like me who have a kid here in canada with visitor record and want to apply for their kids' visitor visa to be able to enter canada for multiple. I really dis appointed . I searched a lot, but I couldn't figure out how I could do it.
Hello, thank you for the insightful video. I do have a question though, if PGWP is expiring in the next month, my visa/ the stamp in my passport has the same validity. What date should I put on the form; "how long do you plan to stay?" Would they still possibly grant me a date to stay beyond the expiry if I opt for the current timelines of my permit and visa? Or would it make more sense to select a date after the expiry date? Thanks so much in advance!
You can remain in Canada beyond the validity of your visa (stamp in passport), as the visa is only what authorizes entry (after examination by border officer of course). The visa does not grant status. Do not get this mixed up with applying for a visitor record to extend or change the conditions of your stay/status in Canada. This video refers to getting a TRV stamp from within Canada, while on valid status. If you are trying to extend your status to remain in Canada beyond the expiry of your PGWP, I would recommend applying for a visitor record, to enable you to remain in Canada past the expiry date of your status, and then apply for the TRV at a later date if you wish to be able to return/re-enter Canada.
Hi Steven, thank you for this video! I hope you notice my comment. I have a question. I am currently working here in Québec. My work permit will expire months before my TRV this coming 2025. How do I extend my work permit first? Do I also need to take French exam in applying for the extension of my work permit?
@@shinAnn08 to extend your work status you need to be able to apply for a work permit under the TFWP (LMIA required) or IMP (LMIA exempt) regime if any apply or can apply to your situation. Depending on the type of work permit application to extension, you may need a French exam, but that depends on how you are extending your work permit
Hello Steven, Thank you the help your providing to everyone. I have a question My Filipino Wife father visited us in Quebec, I was able to get him a Visitor Record good for one year before his six month Visa expired. The question I have is my father in law now wants to visit his other daughter living in Calgary i need to extend the Visa Record and cant find where on the IRCC When i log in i only see the previous application, thank you Nico
I have my son's Visitor record valid until 22 July 2025. I want to get TRV as we are planning to go home and come back. How can I apply? Is it a paper based application.? Thank you in advance
I applied through IRCC Portal (Not OnlineServices you have displayed). Same purpose of application, visitors visa from inside Canada. IRCC Portal did not include any forms to fill up. Did I just fuck up or there's 2 ways to apply? Please answer because it's time sensitive :(
Hello @sjimmigration, I have a vital question to ask. I’m currently inside of Canada, can I apply for a visitors record to extend my stay if the validity of my visa expires soon. So the visa on my passport will no longer be valid from 31st July 2024. Can I apply for a visitors record?
I believe you can. The actual visa stamp in your passport is what can allow entry to Canada. What gives you visitor status is being admitted to Canada as a visitor, or applying for a visitor record within Canada. Is your passport only valid until July 31st? Cause they wont issue a status document for longer than your passport validity.
@@sjpimmigration Oh, thank you for replying. I really appreciate that. I have renewed my passport now and it has longer validity period. If I want to engage your services how do I go about it?
Hey Steven! I appreciate your efforts about this video. This is very helpful for me. Could you please help me in one situation regarding my son's TRV? I am in Canada with PGWP and my husband has got his open work permit as well. We currently applied for our son's visitor record which is arrived for three years as much as my work permit's expiry date. Now is it required to apply my son's TRV? (If incase he wants for travel out of Canada). Thank you in advance.
Hi Steven, I wanted to apply for my spouse under my profile. He is on an open work permit as well. A question asks if he wants to restore his status. Is it yes or no?
@@FameedaMaharjan if he is out of status than he would need to restore (if eligible). But if the open work permit for your spouse is valid, it sounds like he doesn’t need to restore
Very informative video..i applied for Pgwp and visitor recored extensions for my family which i got till end of 2025, after this i applied for TRV for my whole family But i am facing an issue that whenever i fill my TRV application along with my 3 kids (all minors), i get to have IMM5257 form which is the correct form for me only but i always get IMM5708 form for my kids which is for visitor record..as a result of this only main applicant got passport submission letter, rest application withdrawn by IRCC. What should i do in this scenario, plz do help me..thnx
Hello! I applied for my TRV from inside Canada on March 1st, 2024, and haven't heard anything back from IRCC. I called them and they said they do not know why it is taking that long. Note: I extended my study permit before that, so I do have a status in Canada, and that application took 20 days to get approved. So, I was wondering if you have any idea regarding the reason behind this delay.
Hi Steven. I hope u will notice. I have question.. if I’m applying PR and I just send it like week ago. Then my visitor visa will end on April 31.. do I have to get visitor visa in case my Pr wouldn’t be approved yet the day of my visitor visa expired? Thank u in advance for the reply
Of course you want to maintain your status in Canada while your application is in process. Do you mean your visitor visa is expiring or your status is expiring? It sounds like you need to extend your visitor record status
Hey i have a question my husband is in process of a inlandsponsorship and his 6 month stay is almost up i know we have to extend his visa but when filling the for what do we answer for the reason his stay in canada??? Thank you
My spouse and I are on work permit and we have a minor child with us visitor record. It seems that we need to apply separately for TRV becoz when we applied together only the first person got TRV and others application was for change in status. How to apply for TRV for minor child from inside Canada? Separate GC key for Minor? Even when we select child’s status as Visitor it comes with status extension form.
@@arpanpatel3731 create a GC key for child.Select status as student to generate the TRV form. Submit an explanation letter what exactly we need. Got mine done
Glad that you’ve got this done! I was thinking to Select Student to get this TRV form, but mine is just 3 and haven’t started school yet. Would it work if I explain that my kid is travelling with us to Kerala and back for short stay? We won’t get time to get TRV for kid from India
