Your Arrival in Canada
Your arrival in Canada is conditional on having a valid visitor visa and travel document but it doesn’t guarantee that you can enter Canada. Therefore, when you arrive, IRCC will check your identity to make sure that you’re the same person who was approved to travel to Canada.
If you pass the identity check and meet the entry requirements, the border services officer may stamp your passport or let you know how long you can stay in Canada. You’re normally allowed to stay in Canada for up to 6 months. In some cases, the officer may limit or extend your time in Canada to cover the planned purpose of your visit. Ask questions if you’re not sure about something.
