## Notes
Citizens of Panama who hold a valid non-immigrant U.S. visa or who have held a Canadian visa in the past 10 years can apply for eTA when arriving by air. They may not enter Canada by land or sea unless holding a valid visa.

## 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.
