A Visa Extension or Renewal allows you to legally remain in Canada beyond your original visa’s expiration date. Whether you’re a student, visitor, or worker, maintaining valid status is crucial to avoid complications with immigration authorities. Extensions are typically requested when you need more time to complete your studies, continue working, or extend your visit.
To apply for a visa extension or renewal in Canada, you must submit your application online through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before your current status expires. Whether you’re extending a study permit, work permit, or visitor visa, it’s essential to apply early and include all required documents to avoid legal issues or gaps in your stay. At FILCAN International, we help ensure your application is submitted accurately and on time, minimizing delays and increasing your chances of approval. Stay compliant, stay confident—let us handle your extension or renewal with care and expertise.
You should apply at least 30 days before your current status expires to avoid losing your legal stay and to maintain implied status while your application is being processed.

Yes. If you apply before expiry, you can remain under “implied status” until a decision is made—allowing you to continue studying, working, or visiting.
“Implied status” means you keep the same permissions (study, work, or visit) under your original permit until IRCC processes your extension application.
We provide end-to-end support: eligibility assessment, document preparation, application submission, and follow-up with IRCC. Ensuring your extension or renewal is handled accurately and on time.
