Over the next several months, the University of Manitoba is undertaking an initiative to explore the family of brands that include Bison Sports, Mini U Programs, Junior Bisons and Recreation Services to more closely align them with the current UM brand and evolve how we all identify as Bisons.

We have been delighted to engage with the community, on and off campus, and look forward to sharing our progress. Check back to this page for updates.

If you have questions or concerns and wish to speak to an Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) agent directly you have some options.

Agents do not have access to more information about your case status or processing time than you can access online.

A temporary resident visa (TRV), also called a ‘visitor visa’, is an official document that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) puts in your passport to show that you meet the requirements needed to travel to Canada.

As it is only for travel purposes, you can stay in Canada after your TRV has expired, but you will have to renew it if you want to re-enter Canada at a future date.
