探亲 【求助】{申请探亲准备工作中}1次和多次entry的区别??

[pamelapan]

A single entry visa allows you to enter Canada only once. This visa may also be used for repeated entries

into Canada from the USA or St. Pierre and Miquelon provided you do not enter another country. Such

entries must occur within the time validated for your stay in Canada. For example, you may be given six

months from the date you enter Canada at the port of entry.

A multiple entry visa allows you to enter Canada from any country multiple times during the validity of

the visa.

我长期打算是父母移民,已经于今年6月递交了sponsor 申请,目前准备父母的第二次探亲.短期打算是他们呆个半年,先,然后回国处理一下房产等事情,然后再过来呆个半年. 不是很明确我这种情况是申请1次呢,还是多次签证.

是不是1次签证有效期最多半年? 多次签证这个"validity"是多久呢?也是半年么?还是可以长些?
请问有经验人士,如何看待这个问题.谢谢.

What is the difference between a single-entry visa and a multiple-entry visa?
There are two types of Temporary Resident Visa: a single-entry visa and a multiple-entry visa. Temporary Resident Visas are valid for a fixed period, whether they are a single-entry visa or a multiple-entry visa. You cannot use a visa after its expiry date.

Single-entry visa
A single-entry visa allows you to enter Canada once.

When you arrive at the point of entry in Canada, an officer of the Canada Border Services Agency will make sure you meet the requirements to enter Canada.

The officer will authorize your stay by placing a stamp in your passport and/or issuing an additional document.

If there is no stamp, a handwritten date or document in your passport, your temporary resident status will expire six months from the day you arrived in Canada.

If you were given a visitor record, student or work permit, the expiry date is marked on the document.

If you leave Canada during your authorized stay, you must get a new visitor visa to re-enter Canada.

There are two exceptions: you can visit the United States or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and return to Canada without getting a new visa, as long as you:

•return within the initial period authorized by the immigration officer or
•have a valid visitor record, work permit, study permit, or a temporary resident permit (authorizing re-entry) and return within the initial period authorized by the officer.
Multiple-entry visa
A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter Canada several times during the period while your visa is valid. A multiple-entry visa is valid for a maximum of five years or one month prior to the expiry date on the passport/re-entry visa, whichever is earlier.

If a multiple-entry visa is approved, it will allow you to enter and leave Canada repeatedly during the validity period of the visa. You must arrive in Canada on or before the expiry date on your visa. You cannot get a multiple-entry visa for a period that ends after the expiry date of your passport. If your passport will expire soon, you should renew it before you apply for your visa.

If you want to visit several other countries or return to your own country before coming back to Canada, you will need a multiple-entry visa. If you plan to visit Canada frequently, a multiple-entry visa is recommended.

cic网站有解释,还很详尽,我看来是要申请多次的签证了.

听说很少有人拿到时间长的，有的人是6个月多次往返，谁能这么短时间内出去再回来啊，5年的，还没听说谁拿到过。记得之前有个贴子，说打了电话问，还是建议单次的，因为钱花的多了，时间还是半年，不划算。不过，lz还是好好咨询咨询的好。

我父母申请了多次往返签证，加拿大使馆给他们的是3年的多次往返签证，可是我不知道他们是不是每6个月就要出境一次还是可以一直住3年？
