Canada, as viewed by many, is a land of immigrants. As a testament to its much-acclaimed character, Canada lawfully admits residents of other countries to stay in Canada for various reasons. In some instances, people tend to overstay their visas, which will put them in trouble. It may as well destroy their dreams of acquiring citizenship permanently. What are the consequences of Overstaying a Canadian Visa?
We reached out to Zagazeta Garcia LLP, one of the 2021 ThreeBestRated® award-winning immigration lawyers in Mississauga, to learn about the potential consequences of visa overstay.
“The consequences of overseeing your visa is that you will not be able to apply for most immigration programs if you do not have status in Canada.”, says Norka Zagazeta Garcia, Co-founder of Zagazeta Garcia LLP. “Your future visa could be denied on certain grounds.”, she further adds.
Overstaying a visa could curb your current privileges. You could also be asked to leave Canada immediately, or you will be given a short time depending upon the type of removal order you receive. “However, if an applicant is within 90 days of illegal status, he or she can apply for a restoration of status.”, says Norka Zagazeta Garcia.
