Temporary Resident Visa
This visa does not provide the right to work and the permit is highly dependent on the foreign country’s origin. Although the acknowledgement of Temporary Resident Visa expiry date is must, the residents with expired visa can stay in the nation for a certain period though they need to follow certain procedures available to extend their Canada stay on both permanent as well as temporary basis.
Even after the expiry of Temporary Resident Visa i.e. 180 days of stay, the temporary resident needs to apply for an implied status that lasts in anticipation of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) grants new application permit. To maintain the implied status, during the processing period of renewal the temporary resident needs to stay in Canada otherwise the entire process get cancelled and needs to apply for a new Temporary Resident Visa.
Renewal of Visa
The foreign national resident needs to apply with all legal formulation to extend the time period of the expiry and will be granted a stay until decisions are made under section 183(5) of Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation. Failing to make an extension of the temporary residents will have to give away the status and may be subsequently asked for restoration. The renewal of Temporary Resident Visa passed through several legal steps, which are elaborated in below.
