I have changed my mind, I am going the inland route as my partner and I have agreed on it.
When I leave to go home, how long (month wise) should I wait before trying to come back into Canada? I am from the US btw.
When would be the best time to order the state police clearances?
How do you order FBI and state clearances from abroad? How long does it take to receive it back?
What does it take in order to get Approval In Principle?
What should I tell the officials when I cross the border alone?
Last time I crossed with my boyfriend so I am unsure on how they will question me when I arrive alone.
I won't have a job, no money in the bank, and I live with my mom so the only proof I could give them is a return ticket.
Also, it would only be my second time ever flying into another country.
But if I haven't been unlawful will being in canada and I stay a few months home then do you think I will have a hard time getting back in?
I dont understand how filing inland is going to help your case and ease any of the concerns you have been having. Do you even know the difference between inland and outland?
AIP takes approx 6 months, and then could be years until PR- where as outland your whole process, including PR could be completed in less then six months.
Your mind is a million different places and you get FAR too worked up for your own good... before making any decisions, I think you should just chill and take some time away from these boards and the immigration idea altogether.
I dont mean to be harsh ColorMePanda, but I am not that much older than you, and I seem to be able to grasp/handle this immigration thing with greater ease than you. You HAVE to do some investigating on your own (like alot of it..), as you cant rely on this board and these people to answer everything for you.
You have asked these questions before, and yet you keep asking, a thousand different ways ie) the FBI and state clearances, you KNOW have been answered by multiple people. If you cant come to some simple conclusions on your own and make any decision without the people on here's opinion- then maybe you are far from ready to apply for PR..... ? Just my thoughts anyways...
