Hello,
I have completed everything and I am only waiting on my Passport Request. I was wondering if I overstayed in the US for a maximum of 3 months would I still get my canadian greencard?? Would the Visa Office stamp my passport if they noticed that I overstayed??

Whilst over staying in the USA isn't good, it won't damage your chances of obtaining PR status in Canada.

Are you sure about what you just said? Did you know someone who was on the same boat as me?

No it won't affect the case. However, you may not be able to enter US in the future, since there's a chance that you might be tagged for overstaying when you exit the country. Don't enter Canada directly from US. Go to your home country and return to Canada.

anyway yes visa office will stamp it , it wouldn't affect your process. you can enter to Canada from USA and even from your home country, nothing special if you enter from USA or from your home country, but you will sure ban for re-enter to USA (atleast for several years (even you can not land for airport transit) , I don't know how many years will banned you but POE will gives you that all information once you departure for Canada/home country).

Thanks OMM, If I overstay it would probably be 3 months maximum because I am just on my last stage just waiting for passport request. |

I think it's better to enter directly from US. That way you won't be passing through US post, only Canadian when you enter. Since there is no "exit" only "entrance". So there is no chance to get "tagged" by US side. Unless you actually stop by US post before getting to the Canadian one. Anyway, you have no chance to enter US till you become a Canadian citizen. |

doen't matter but your stay is over stay and its not leagal stay.
Lets take An Example : If police party arrest you and they found your stay is overstay , this means you will be deported form USA in this case.

Good links OMM. Informative. However not quite an answer to the question. The answer to the question is: the one will not have any problems crossing the border with US on the way to Canada. The one will not be able to obtain a visa to US (99.9% denial). The one will have to wait till he/she become a citizen of Canada to get to visit his/her friends/family in US. Otherwise don't see any problems. P.S. And yes, overstaying is illegal, but your Canadian passport washes it off. |

Thank you guys. I am not planning on coming back to the US and hopefully I wont get arrested. I just wanted to make sure Canada would still stamp my passport and give me the green card. If me overstaying here won't affect Canada giving me the green card then I am good. My family is not in the US anyway I just came here for school. Friends are on facebook and they could come visit me lol

Both way exit and enter USA and canada will check your immigration status. OMM |
