Stayin in Canada as a tourist for extended time
Let's say I have US and Canada tourist visas. I can stay in Canada for 6 months and must then leave the country. Could I just go to the US for a few days and come back to Canada, as this would be a new entry and I could stay In Canada for 6 more months?
Best Answer
If you have no reason to go to the US other than extending your status, there is also a process to apply to extend your status from within Canada.
