Is My Friend's Husband Here Legally or Not?

[Ponga]

Jealousy perhaps?

And really, why is it your business what he's doing?

Same sentiments! Why oh why!

Jealousy perhaps?

Probably!

Unlike members of this forum, he doesn't seem to care about regulations or procedure or knowing the ins and outs of immigration. He is abusing the system in my opinion because he is living in Canada permanently and did so from his very first visit here. He actually isn't a visitor anymore.

So what? Why are you stress about it?

He has a valid TRV. He was allowed to enter here. Maybe he is just lucky but still he has a legal status.

MapleSyrup321, if you're really a friend, just be happy that they are together in Canada. As a friend, I will be more worried if he has all the means to come to Canada and won't do that to be with my friend.

All I will say is there is more to the story not worth getting into. This individual has thrown up a lot of red flags (immigration aside), so I am concerned for a lot of reasons. But getting into those reasons would just be noise.

I appreciate everyone's input and feedback.

reading this thread, I doubt the friend tag you have gave yourself, you may well find your "friends" view you the same way, I wouldn't be surprised if they had PR already/well into the process but told you not one thing about it (in case you dropped a dime out of "concern"). If he sold his home and cars etc, you will find they probably have a nice healthy bank balance, and CBSA love people with enough to self-support, let CBSA do their jobs you do yours.

If he is here legal or not...what business is it of yours, mine, or the dog down the streets?

Unless you work in CBSA or CIC find something else to worry about, I certainly wish the couple well.

"Friend" or "Estranged" lover? ???

"Friend" or "Estranged" lover? ???

My thoughts also, not the logical tack for a friend to take

CBSA is supposed to let a person in if they believe they will comply with the terms of their stay, regardless of how much time they're spending in Canada. Usually what that means is no unauthorized work or study and leaving when your time is up. The only problem with people who are basically living here permanently is that they may have trouble convincing an officer they don't intend to work illegally and do intend to leave when required. But if they can convince the officer of that (for example by showing that they have sufficient funds), then that's all they really need to do.

The thing about spending too much time in the country is, in itself, something the U.S. has rules about but not Canada.

What a very strange thread.

Yes, he is here legally.

Let people live their life and try to live yours instead, you might even enjoy it.

I hate when people know better how to live life for others. I am pretty sure that no one asked your help and if you think you are doing any favors, think again. Probably you don't even have correct information about their situation, just bits there and there. And just because you might not like him, your "friend" seems to and I assume she is a grown up person and is capable of making her own decisions. So unless she says the words "Help me", and I mean says, not just you assuming it, stay away.

I had someone like this in my life and when I decided to move to Egypt they unfriended me.......I am glad they are no longer my friend, I didn't want the negativity. Life is too short to waste it worrying about what someone else is doing.
