For case-specific enquiries, applicants can contact the Department by submitting the IRCC Web form. The Visitor Record (VR) itself is not covered in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), and is not valid for re-entry. As per 183(4}(a), once a foreign national leaves Canada, their temporary resident status ends. Upon arrival at a port of entry (POE), and as per 2185, the border services officer (BSO) has the discretion to either: 1—grant entry to the validity of the VR (if itis still valid), 2~grant entry for any other length of stay, or 3—deny entry We trust that this information will assist you.

Dear officer, A question about the validity of Visitor [requester] per R183(4), the TR status will automatically end once the TR left Canada if they do not have prior authorization to re- enter. We understand that SP and WP are valid regardless the holder left or re-enter as they have valid TRV for international travel ooaise

But does the same rule apply to VR holders? : And What exactly is the prior authorization to re-enter? TRV? Some of my clients are holding visitor records in Canada and they may occasionally travel to other countries for vacation and then come back to Canada, when they re-entered Canada, how long can they stay? Another 6 moth based on TAV or until the validity of their VR? Thank you in advance for any clarification. [NAME REDACTED]
