Do I need a passport or visa?
Citizens and permanent residents of the United States,
Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and Greenland will require
a passport or visa. If they do not have one, they are
only entitled to stay for a period of six (6) months.
If you are coming from anywhere else, you will need
a passport and possibly a visa as well. Please refer
to the following web site for the list of countries
whose nationals need a visa to come to Canada: www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.html
If you do not have access to the Internet, officials
in your country will inform you whether you need a visa
before you leave home. The Canadian visitor visa is
affixed to a page of your passport. It shows the date
by which you must arrive in Canada, and whether it is
valid for one or more entries to Canada.
When you arrive in Canada, you must show your passport.
The passport will be stamped with the date on which
you must leave Canada. Please ensure that the period
allowed covers your whole stay. If you require an extension
of your student authorization, contact the appropriate
personnel to obtain an application kit. Do not stay
beyond the date stamped on your passport. If there is
something you don't understand, immigration officers
will be happy to help you.
If you want to renew your passport while you are in
Canada, contact your embassy or consulate at least two
months before your passport expires. You may wish to
keep a photocopy of your passport, visitor visa, and
most recent immigration stamp and student authorization
for your own records. Make sure that your passport will
allow you to return home or travel to another country
if you wish.
