Late to renew retirement visa

[john smith]

I may be three or four days late renewing my non O retirement visa ( possible hospital stay) is there a fine for this or will I need to cross a border return and start the whole process again? God forbid!

My wife call the emigration when there is something we need to know, and they always gives us the answers we are looking for.

You posted in the wrong forum. 

 

ask mods to relocate in visa forum

Just posting my opinion from reading the forum so long.

I'm sure that you know that you never want to put yourself in such a vulnerable position. 

But if you can't possibly avoid it, my impression is that it's common (though never guaranteed) for immigration to allow being a little late by just charging an overstay fine (I think 500 a day).

Obviously having a good excuse such as medical would be helpful so bring evidence of that.

Ask the hospital to arrange a medical extension for you. Then piggyback your retirement extension onto that when you get out.

But why can't you renew it before you go to hospital? You can do it up to a month early in most provinces.

Do your best to renew prior to your hospital stay. You don't want to be on overstay, you may also have a problem getting another Non O with an overstay stamp in your PP. As said maybe the hospital can do something with immigration......

Moved to appropriate forum.

 

As others have said, you can extend 30 days prior to the expiration of your current petmission of stay.  (45 days in some pmaces). 

 

Alternatively can get a shorter extension on medical grounds. The orivate "international" hospitals will fo this for you. If in govt or smaller pvt hospital, a family member armed with a letter fom the hospital can do it on your behalf.

 

But extrnding before hospital admission would be simplest. 

 

You will not be extending a visa, you will be extenfing your permission of stay.
