Visa

Canada: 6 months per stay (visitors)

Up to 6 months in Canada per stay (counted as 181 days)

About This Rule

Most visitors can stay in Canada for up to 6 months from the day they enter. The border services officer may allow you less or more, and then puts the date you need to leave by in your passport. The app counts each continuous stay against 181 days, the shortest 6 months can be, so check the date you were actually given; this tracks the day count only.

Ready-made rules count your days against the limits the law names. They don't decide your visa or residency status, and many laws add conditions a day count can't see.
