  1. If your visa indicates it is valid for multiple-entries, then yes you can leave and come back in with that visa.

    However, once the visa expires in seven days, regardless of if it is a single-entry or multi-entry visa, you would still be required to leave and obtain a new visa for the next time you want to come into Canada.


  2. You will have to check the visa itself and see if it is for single-entry or multiple entry.

    If  it is multiple you can leave and return, but a single-entry visa has already served its purpose, since you are now in Canada. If you leave you will have to get a new visa to return.

    In either case, the expiry date does not change and once the date has passed you need a replacement.

    You can check with CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) Immigration for the possibility of obtaining a visa renewal while you are still in Canada. Commonly you are told to return to your home country for a replacement, but many people have just crossed the border to USA for replacement. Even this is subject to the situation between Canada and your home country, as well as between USA and your home country. (example: you may need a visa to enter USA)

    Despite this,  there is no set answer for this option, and while renewal within Canada is usually refused for everyone,  it may still be possible for you, depending on your personal circumstances.

    You have to ask CBSA specifically about your circumstances.

    Be aware that while they may refuse you, if you fail to speak with them, then you will have to leave Canada anyway when the visa expires, and the possibility of renewal within Canada is lost..

  3. if your visa has expired you cant use it to enter Canada again, you have to go home and apply or another one
