联邦移民部对大小签混用问题作出官方解释

最近持有学签或工签的申请人在加拿大境内申请小签，均被批成了访问签证（V-1），我们为此写过一篇文章。移民局对此做出的解释是疫情期间移民局采取的临时措施来处理在加拿大境内递交的小签申请。申请人可以用此签证来入境加拿大，和持S-1或W-1一样。

This is not an error. Due to COVID-19, we have temporary measures in place to process visitor visa applications submitted from inside Canada.

Foreign students and workers who applied for a visitor visa in Canada since July 2021 may get a V-1 visitor visa.

You can use your V-1 visa to leave and re-enter Canada – the same way you would use your S-1 or W-1 visa.

You don’t need to request a different type of visa or follow up with the processing office or client support centre. A new visa will not be issued in this case.

其实最近境外申请的返加小签也有很多批成了访问签证。对于申请人来说是好事一件，本来只会给到大签有效期，现在一次性给到了护照有效期，省掉了以后若干次的续签手续。而且有移民局的解释护航，我们解决了长久以来困惑很多（尤其是旅转学）客户的问题：不同类型的大小签是可以混用的。
