3 月 1, 2020通過 Immigration In Canada

If your visa expired, you must request a new one or, if you are in Canada, you can request an extension of your stay permit.

The difference when applying for a new visa is that you will not have to deliver biometric data, as long as it has not been more than ten years since the last time you gave them. These will continue to be valid, and you will be able to save the 85 Canadian dollars that the consignment of these data costs.

If you have travel experience in Canada, the process will be much easier and more accessible. Remember to keep in mind how much the Canadian visa in Colombia costs.
