You can use this search tool by entering the name of your occupation or job duties. The tool will show you the closest NOC code along with its TEER category.
-If you are allowed to enter Canada, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months.
-If so, they will put the date you must leave in your passport. They may also give you a document.
-If you do not get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
-If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, ask the border services officer after you finish at the kiosk.
-If you wish to overstay your authorized stay, you must request an extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay. If you are coming from a visa-exempt country (you used eTA to enter), you are still required to extend your stay as a visitor if you need to overstay your original authorized length of stay.
No, a work permit or study permit is not a visa. You will not automatically be issued a visitor visa if you extend your work or study permit. If you need a new visitor visa, you will need to file a separate application. The visa is required if you want to travel and be able to return to Canada to continue your studies or work. Do not leave Canada with an expired visa (even if your study or work permit has already been extended), because you will not be able to return without a valid visa.
The search tool is intended as a starting point. To ensure you apply correctly, we recommend having your profile reviewed by an immigration expert.
