1. Visa type:
- Single-entry visa: Allows one entry to Canada within the validity period, which typically ranges from 6 months to 10 years.
- Multiple-entry visa: Allows multiple entries to Canada within the validity period, which typically ranges from 6 months to 10 years. However, each visit cannot exceed 6 months, and the total accumulated stay within the validity period should not exceed the authorized limit.
2. Border officer's decision:
Upon arrival at the port of entry, the border services officer has the final say on your authorized entry and stay duration, even if you possess a valid visa. This decision is based on various factors like your travel purpose, supporting documents, and potential risks.
Remember: Always consult your specific visa provider to confirm its validity period and entry allowance. Additionally, adhere to the border officer's instructions regarding your permitted stay in Canada to avoid any complications.
