IMMIGRATION TO CANADA THROUGH VISITOR VISA
A visitor visa or a temporary resident visa is an official document for citizens of countries which require visa and need to get to travel to and enter Canada as a visitor for up to 6 months.
Visitor visa is placed in your passport, and it means that you meet the requirements to enter Canada.
The date is not an expiry date for your stay in Canada.
Yes, you can extend your stay in Canada by applying either at POE when you enter Canada or you can apply online while in Canada.
If you want to extend your stay in Canada, you should apply at least 30 days before your status expires.
If your visitor visa expired and you need to leave and return to Canada, you need to apply for new visitor visa and not a visitor record.
A visitor record is a document that gives you status as a visitor in Canada and allows you to stay longer. It a new expiry date and you must leave Canada by that date. But there is no guarantee that you can leave and then re-enter Canada.
