Passport Stamping from within Canada
You can only apply for a visitor visa from inside Canada (get TRV Visa stamped on your passport) if you meet all these criteria:
- You are already in Canada
- You hold a valid study or work permit
- You want to leave and return to Canada in the near future, and if
- You have an existing visitor visa that’s expired, or is about to expire, or that was valid for only 1 entry
If you leave Canada before you get your new visitor visa, you may be subject to
- additional requirements, like biometrics (if not already on file) and/or a medical exam
- a longer processing time, or
- a delay in your return to Canada
