At present, what is the longest stay of Canadian tourist visa in Canada? Can I come back to renew it when it expires?

1. At present, all Canadian tourists coming to China are issued with a visit visa with a maximum validity of 10 year (if the passport is shorter than 10 year, the visa validity is the same as the passport validity).

2. How long you can stay in Canada with the above visa depends on the latest departure time signed by the Canadian Border Service officials when you enter Canada. Generally speaking, it is 3 or 6 months, and the longest is no more than 6 months. How long will you be given depends on your purpose of coming to Canada, whether you have booked a return ticket with a fixed date, the mood of the border service officials and so on.

You must leave Canada before the specified time, otherwise you will leave a bad record, which will affect your entry or visa in the future.

As long as this multi-year round-trip visa is valid, there is no question of renewal. Next time you come to Canada, you will still get a stay of 3 or 6 months.

5. However, it is not recommended that you return to Canada again in a very short time (such as a few days or longer), because this behavior is suspected of "attempting to live in Canada for a long time", and officials of the Border Service have the right to refuse your entry. Visiting visas are short-term and temporary residence visas, and the Canadian side does not allow holders of such visas to form the fact that they live in Canada for a long time.
