Chance for Immigrants to Apply for New Temporary Resident Visa

Canadian temporary residents in Canada with valid status such as a valid study or work permit now can apply for a new temporary resident visa before they leave, at Immigration Canada's Case Processing Pilot office in Ottawa (CPP-O), an extension of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)'s oversea network.

To apply for new temporary resident visa to Canada, applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Applicants must be legally admitted as a temporary resident (student or temporary foreign worker only) in Canada with a Canadian residential address,
• The current temporary resident status must still be valid, and the existing counterfoil is expired and/or was valid for only one entry, and
• Applicants must require a new temporary resident visa to return to Canada in the near future.

Applicants are advised to pay the fees a few days before mailing the application, as financial institutions and credit card companies may require up to five business days before they validate the payment.

More details about new temporary resident visa, addresses to mail applications are provided on CIC's website.
