3-deny entry We trust that this information will assist you. Thank you kindly, [requester] De: Envoyé: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Objet: [requester] Hello, | would like to have a clarification regarding the VR Validity in the following scenario when the VR Holder leaves during the VR Validity period and returns to Canada within the VR validity period. Client's VR is valid from 2025-01-01 to 2026-01-01. He leaves on 2025-02-01 and returns on 2025-03-01. The one-year VR expiring 2026-01-01 is no longer valid, and he can only stay typically 6 months until 2025-09-01 (unless CBSA decides otherwise). | believe that the following prevails: Ref IRPR 183 Authorized period ends: (4) The period authorized for a temporary resident’s stay ends on the earliest of (a) the day on which the temporary resident eaves Canada without obtaining prior authorization to re-enter Canada; In other words, the VR is not longer in effect once the Client leaves [requester] their re-entry, they can remain in Canada for six months as a visitor unless CBSA decides differently upon entry (and if the Client is allowed to re- enter).

This would apply whether or not the Client goes to the USA or elsewhere in the world. Secondly, can the client, upon re-entry, ask the initial validity of the VR to be maintained? Is that an acceptable approach? Thank you for shedding some light on this question,
