To extend the Germany Opportunity Card beyond one year, Canadians must meet the following conditions:

  • Show active job search efforts or progress toward employment.
  • Provide proof of financial stability for the extended stay.
  • Maintain valid health insurance coverage.
  • Submit the extension request to the local Foreigners Office (Ausländerbehörde) before the card expires.
