刚给爸妈申请到了10年多次入境签证,就听到了一个传言:这种普通10年多次入境签证,每次停留期最长6个月,如果延期(续签),那么原来的10年多次入境签证就失效。
我又做了一番功课,查阅了大量官方以及民间说法,得出以下结论:上述传言是不正确的。
第一,大家很容易混淆两个概念:签证有效期和居留有效期。
签证有效期:是指在这段时间内,可以多次或单次进入加拿大境内。比如10年就是说这10年内父母可以自由进出加拿大。
居留有效期:是指每次入境合法可以在加拿大境内停留的时间。以入境时移民官手写的日期为准,一般是半年,也有三个月或更短的。如果没有手写日期,默认为半年。
如果需要呆超过半年时间,无论你持的是何种签证(单次或多次),都可以在加拿大境内申请延期(续签)。当然,多次签证持有者可以靠出境再入境来获得新的居留时间。这里的出境可以回国,或者去古巴等,去美国不能算“出境”,所以去美国不会获得新的居留时间。
第二,官方网站上没有任何地方有这项说明。普通临时居民签证分一次性入境签证和多次入境签证。多次入境签证与是否在这里延长逗留期没有联系。
官方网站上反倒是有这样的说明:
Note: Applicants who require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada: A renewal of a study or work permit or extension of visitor status does not affect your TRV. It is your responsibility to ensure your TRV remains valid if you wish to re-enter Canada after leaving. After leaving, you must apply for and obtain a TRV by applying to a Canadian visa office outside of Canada.
多次往返签证的定义
Multiple-entry visa
A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter Canada several times during the period while your visa is valid. A multiple-entry visa is valid for a maximum of 10 years or one month prior to the expiry date on the passport/re-entry visa, whichever is earlier.
If a multiple-entry visa is approved, it will allow you to enter and leave Canada repeatedly during the validity period of the visa. You must arrive in Canada on or before the expiry date on your visa. You cannot get a multiple-entry visa for a period that ends after the expiry date of your passport. If your passport will expire soon, you should renew it before you apply for your visa.
If you want to visit several other countries or return to your own country before coming back to Canada, you will need a multiple-entry visa. If you plan to visit Canada frequently, a multiple-entry visa is recommended.
签证有效期 和 居留有效期 的官方说法:
Visa Validity Date
The visa expiration date is shown on the visa along with the date the visa was issued. The time between when the visa was issued and the visa expiration date is called your visa validity. The visa validity is the length of time you have to travel to a port of entry in Canada. A visa does not guarantee you entry to Canada. It permits you to travel to Canada.
Visitor Status
Visitor Status is given to you by the BSO at the port of entry when he or she grants entry to Canada. The BSO will determine the length of your stay (usually up to 6 months) and record a validity date indicating the duration of your visit. The BSO will also note any special terms or conditions of your stay.
第三,大家之所以会有这种担心,我查了查源头是家园上的一篇帖子,链接如下:http://forum.iask.ca/showthread.php?t=487661
通篇读下来,跟我在别的论坛上看到的一样,帖子的作者也只是“听说”,并不是亲身经历,这么写出来很不负责任,让大家引起恐慌。所有这么说的人都没有得到任何官方说法,都是“听说”、“据说”,引用一位资深网友的一个说法,所有没有根据的道听途说都是胡说八道。到目前为止,我查到的所有帖子都是道听途说,没有一个是当事人自己现身说法的。反而有些驳斥这种说法的例子是当事人自己打电话到CIC去询问得知的。
第四,当然会有一些人的续签被拒,即便有些拿多次往返签证的人续签也会被拒,但我相信这跟他是否拿多次往返签证是没有关系的,因为CIC写得很清楚,多次往返签证是可以续签的,但是续签不保证被批,所以自然有人续签成功,也有人被拒。上引帖子的具体情况我们也不是很了解,应该还是有其他原因所以被拒绝入境的,因为CIC也明确说,即便你持有签证,也不能保证每次都能入境。
综上所述,10年多次入境签证一旦续签就会失效的说法是没有官方依据的,多是大家道听途说,没有经过验证。以上是我调查得出的结论,欢迎大家讨论!更希望有当事人现身说法!
祝大家合家团圆!幸福安康!
