    Marriage...i'm in quite a pickle.

    Like I said, I know it looks bad. If you can't or don't believe that I'm telling the truth so be it. I just would like some help, that's all. There's a lot of conflicting information, I'm not even sure if I'm inadmissible right now or not, if I've even got a removal or deportation order...

    Marriage...i'm in quite a pickle.

    Admittedly I haven't yet, as I'm not sure how to go about it. Stupid, I know. ><

    Marriage...i'm in quite a pickle.

    Hello all- I have a strange situation, and question I'd like answered. I have overstayed my visitor record here in Canada, but unintentionally. Originally my intention was to attend the Royal Winnipeg Ballet with my sister and her bf. I had the tickets for the ballet, as well as a return...

    Should I say I'm going to visit a personal friend or a boyfriend?

    I'd say the truth, IE: that you're visiting your boyfriend, but that's up to you. They are more concerned with how long you're going to stay. Proof of employment, funds, property, return ticket (ie: ties to the US) will help with that. Only pack what you absolutely need. They WILL call your...

    How to handle this...

    Ah thank you very much, angelbrat, YorkFactory. :) That is good to know that there is no time limit required for marriages. I will obviously want to spend a lot of time with her anyway, but that's a huge financial pressure off us lol.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Ohhh now I gotcha. :) It's all cleared up then thank you. Mind you I'll be spending lots of time with my lovey anyway before we start the application, but this is good to know. I'm not fond of dealing with the border officers too much.

    How did you meet?

    Met on Gaiaonline. :) We were both Naruto cosplayers at the time, she an Itachi, and me a Pain. xD We met up in 2007 and began our relationship as friends, though it was kind of rocky at first, mostly cause she lied to me about her gender. >_>; So yeah a bit of trust issues there. But I'm...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I've heard that in order to qualify for Family Class, you need to have lived with your sweetie for a year. I have no problem with that, but I am curious as to how they document that? There is a site called 'canada updates' and I read somewhere on there (can't find the link damnit) that they...

    How to handle this...

    Next time I'm in Canada, we are getting married. It will be in January. And yes, I'm aware we can apply for PRV after we get married, but isn't there a requirement where you have to have lived together for a certain time? I was under the impression that if my sweetie allowed me to live with...

    Dear Canada

    Dear Canada- If only love were a matter of choice! How easy it would be if I somehow woke up this morning, and found that I was now in love with another American citizen instead of a Canadian one. How much red tape I could have avoided! How much easier it would have been to slip under CBSA's...

    How to handle this...

    My situation is probably nothing all that special, but I am so lost as to how I'm supposed to go about this. I'd really like to stay for a long time in Canada to be with my fiance, but the IOs really seem to be against us. (been turned away twice now) I know that is their job to turn away...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Re: D8 Yes, it's definitely government disability, not welfare. That makes me breathe a bit easier, thanks for the tip on having a cover letter as well as a doctor's note to explain. :)

    "Allowed To Leave Canada" form? What happens after?

    Exact same thing happened to me just recently. I was devastated, as it was a two day trip by BUS from Sioux City IA to Vancouver. Attempting to cross again right after Christmas. Will take all advice in this thread very seriously. I just hope my lack of a job right now won't kill me. I'll...

    Spousal sponsorship

    D8 Great sticky, lots of good info here that I'm sure will help me and my wife be together in Canada. :) However, I am very confused about something. It says a sponsor may not be approved if they are on social assistance. My Canadian sweetheart is disabled, and receives assistance for it...
