Visitor Record

A visitor record is an official document issued to individuals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents and are granted temporary entry into Canada as visitors. It serves as proof of legal status and outlines the conditions and duration of their stay. The visitor record is typically issued by a Canadian immigration officer inside Canada or at the port of entry or by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Typically, visitors in Canada are allowed to stay in Canada for up to 180 days. In cases where the visitor needs longer duration, they can apply for a visitor record.
Example includes:
– young children accompanying their parents
– visitors in Canada who want to stay longer than the initial 180 days
– temporary residents in Canada restoring their status as a visitor
