Single entry visa to multiple entry visa

[Asyed4812]

Hi,

I came to Canada for H1b stamping and got 221 g for administrative processing. I am here since past two months and i am still waiting. Embassy is not sure how long it gonna take. So i would like to know if i can update my single entry visa to multiple entry visa from Canada ( I want to know if i can update my single entry to multiple entry visa without leaving Canada). Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I am not sure whether you can change your single entry visa to multiple entry one while in Canada. You can extend the period of TRV. Here is the link for that <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend-stay.asp>. Call 1-888-242-2100 to case processing centre: Vergreville, Alberta. They may give you some information. Please post the details if you get any more information regarding this.

Most likely, it is not possible. Email the canadian consulate (the one that you used to obtain the canadian visa) and confirm. Your best bet is to return to the home country, apply for a new canadian visa and ask for expedited processing.

Thank you for your responses and definitely will try to contract Canadian Embassy and will let you know if i get any proper feedback. The other thing is on my way back to Canada if i get the notification from US embassy in a short time will there will a problem at port of entry in Canada. Will they allow me to re enter the country on a visit visa in such short duration?.
