Ok. Thank you so much. Much appreciated

I think it is still early for you to worry about the passport submission of the one you intend to process. Also, the expiry is still more than a year from now as you have noted. Immigration works with passport information they have on file which was submitted with your application. This is what they would be expecting you to submit once your application is approved.

You can only submit a different passport other than the one IRCC have on file if they request it from you or give you a go-ahead to submit it. The visa officer can request for a renewed passport if they intend to issue a longer duration beyond the expiry date of your passport ( this is at the discretion of the visa officer). Since yours is still more then a year from now before expiry, I think you should exercise some patience in informing IRCC. What would likely happen is visa would be issued to you up to the expiry date of your passport at the maximum depending on the officer's discretion.

Additionally, you can then apply for a renewed visa when the current visa is expiring with your new name when applying for visa renewal attaching necessary support documents.

Request cbsa note urself

the Canadian government website. It has two types of request: Access to Information Act and Privacy Act.
Access to Information Act costs $5CAD; but PRIVACY ACT is FREE. Go through Privacy Act
This is the link to the website:

https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do

Choose the Canada border service agency (cbsa) option is faster than gcms .. under privacy act just choose cbsa option and u will get ur note in 3-4weeks

*Please select the Department where you would like to submit an Access to Information or Privacy request.
Select *canada boarder service agency*

Hello all, I have learned a lot here.

For those who received their Visit visa to Canada. Please help with the following
1. Were you given single or multiple entries?
2. What duration were you given?
3. If your visit visa expires, do you need a new invite to extend/apply for a new one?
4. Has anyone converted to a work visa while on a visit visa in Canada

I will appreciate your responses. God bless

To clarify, you CANNOT work with a visitor's visa. however, you can change your status by securing a work permit by scouting for an employer with a job role to fill up; to help you with the application when you are "already" in Canada. and this my friend is not an easy route, but its not impossible.
I'll advise you to read up on securing a work permit and its requirements. you will be more guided.

Cheers

1. Usually multiple entry
2. My friend got 8 years, another got 2 years. Seems its case by case basis
3. Depends
4. Chances of that happening is very slim or impossible. Majority of the employers in Canada are only interested in hiring people with status in Canada already. Even from the job application they ask for status.

hello guyz ,

ive gone through this thread ......first read through the first 30 pages and then jumped to page 332 around 2020 and read through 30 pages but i couldnt get the answers i was looking for..

question number 1.
the canadian visitors visa duration, is it for 6months or 5yrs. reading through the ircc website,they seem to explain that the visitors visa gives you residency for just 6months at a stretch after which u must leave. then on the other hand they say its valid for 5 or 10yrs . how does it work. do they issue just 6months visitors visa or 5yrs. if its 5yrs and i stay for 5months and leave ,do i need to reapply to re-enter canada if the visa is valid for 5yrs.

question 2
is the visitors visa different from the tourist visa..........

question 3
when u write cover letters or letter of introduction, does it need any form of notarisation......if there is a word like that. i mean do u need a lawyer to endorse it or something. i dont know if their is a way we can see samples of non sensitive documents submitted. so we could mirror them.

you are expected to stay 6 months maximum at a stretch, then go back to your country . Visitor and tourist are same thing. No notarization required
