ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:
(extending "90 day medical extensions" & 90 day "Non-O volunteer visas" with a 60 day covid stamp)
We are getting a lot of people trying to post who for one reason or another got either a b/s, back-door 90 day medical extension OR an equally b/s, back-door 90 day Non-O based on "volunteering" and now want to get 60 day covid extensions.
Unfortunately we're not letting posts like that on the group (or we're not letting many of them anyway). ;)
There is no way anyone on this group can tell what an immigration officer at your immigration office will say when you go to apply for a 60 day covid extension with a stamp like those two I mentioned in your passport.
Some people will skate right thru and get the 60 days without question (y)
BUT
some people will get questioned heavily but get the in the end extension :/
AND
some people will be told, go back to the province you got your stamp from and apply there. :O :(
We am not judging anyone on those stamps (not in the least) but, you people knew exactly what you were doing when you went down the path to get that 90 day medical extension, OR to get that 90 day Non-O visa (based on volunteering for a foundation you can't pronounce let alone ever volunteered for :O ). No one twisted your arm, no one made you do it.
You either GO to your immigration office before you need the extension and see if you can get it
OR
you contact the people who you used to get those stamps and ask them what to do.
We're just not gonna let posts from people on those two stamps on the group.
We wish everyone good luck with their extensions, stay safe and have a happy holiday season.
