    (+1) Could you provide a link to the beginning of the questionnaire? The outcome is apparently bound to a session and the current link is broken.

    @Vince: Did you continue until the last result page starting with "To begin, you can only visit Canada for six months. If you want to visit longer, you can apply to extend your stay from within Canada."? Perhaps I don't use the same answers as you to the question? Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 14:47

    It's unfortunate that this page only tells you that, as a French citizen, you can stay six months without a visa and ask for an extension while you're there, without saying how long an extension you can ask for or how likely it is to be granted. If I was making plans to spend, say, a year in Canada, I'd want to know before I left that I'd be able to stay as long as I planned to. It doesn't say whether a French citizen can just apply for an appropriate visa before entering Canada. Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 16:29

    @David: Tourism visas are by most countries issues for short periods to allow a temporary visit. It is already quite generous that Canada allows for a 6 month stay without a visa and quite exceptional that they allow a visitor to extend this period with an in-country application. If you are really planning to stay for a year in Canada, I would assume that you (as in most other countries) can or must apply for a residence permit. Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 17:24

    @Tor-EinarJarnbjo Sure. My comment was about how well that page explains the options, not about how generous those options are. Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 17:26
