加拿大签证过期也能去美国?

经常有这样的江湖传闻:小签有没有过期没关系,只要大签没过期,就能够入境加拿大。到底是不是这样呢?经常会被问到这样的问题:

我的大签(学签Study Permit或工签Work Permit)还在有效期内,但小签(Temporary Resident Visa)已经过期了。如果我有美签,但我的加拿大小签过期了,我是否可以去美国玩,然后再回到加拿大呢?


解答:如果大签仍在有效期内,从美国回到加拿大时,是允许进入加拿大的。但这里需要注意的是,只是从美国进入加拿大。如果是从其他国家,譬如中国,是不允许入境加拿大的。如从中国进入加拿大,必须在入境加拿大前,重新申请TRV临时居留签证(即我们所说的小签)。

此外,这种从美国进入加拿大的方式,仅限于陆路的方式,例如从Niagara falls的Rainbow bridge开车或坐车从美国入境加拿大,也可以通过走路从桥上走回加拿大。这些并不保证一定就能入境,加拿大海关也会有可能问一些问题,和需要入境者出示相关的文件予以证明在加拿大的合法居留身份等等。


坐飞机就不一定要看航空公司,加航比较松,这个学生就是买了美国航空公司就不让上飞机,给看移民法他们还是不让上,最后坐加航回来的。同时,我将以下来源于CIC(移民局官方网站)的信息粘贴在这里,也是针对临时居留签证过期的情况,给予的相关说明。


Expired temporary resident visa

You can request to return to Canada on your original temporary resident visa, even if it is expired, if:

  - you will only visit the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon; and

  - you will return to Canada before the end of your approved stay in Canada.

An officer will confirm whether you meet all the requirements before allowing you to come back to Canada. If you visit any country other than those listed above, you will need a new temporary resident visa.

如果你有多次往返的小签,信息如下:Multiple-entry temporary resident visa

Yes, you can come back to Canada, if you have a multiple-entry temporary resident visa and it has not expired.

注意移民局官网上的细节用词  you can request to return 和 you can come back

 

移民法 R 190

Visa exemption — purpose of entry

· (3) A foreign national is exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa if they are seeking to enter and remain in Canada solely to re-enter Canada following a visit solely to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon, if they

o (i) held a study permit or a work permit that was issued before they left Canada on such a visit or were authorized to enter and remain in Canada as a temporary resident, and

o (ii) return to Canada by the end of the period initially authorized for their stay or any extension to it
