## Notes
Algerian citizens are not eligible for eTA; they must obtain a Temporary Resident Visa (visitor visa) before travelling to Canada by any means.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **yes**
- Must leave the country: **no**
- Cost: CAD $100

Usually up to a further 6 months from the decision date. You may not work or study on a Visitor Record.

**Cost detail.** CAD $100 per person, plus CAD $85 for biometrics if you have not given them in the last 10 years. Non-refundable.

**How.** Apply online for a Visitor Record (form IMM 5708) at least 30 days before your current status expires. A Visitor Record is not a visa and will not get you back into Canada if you leave.

**If you cannot extend.** IRCC processing has stretched to roughly 10 months — longer than the stay being extended. Filing before your status expires grants maintained status, letting you remain lawfully throughout. If your status has already lapsed you have 90 days to apply for restoration, at CAD $246.25 on top of the fee.
