Is there are reason why you need to continue visiting Canada? Unless independently wealthy you are unlikely to be able to justify how and why you need to continue visiting Canada and there will be concerns that you may be working illegally for cash. Did you come to Canada assuming that you could easily secure a job and a WP? Unfortunately many arrived assuming this was possible only to discover that it would be much harder than they thought if not impossible. There are many with WPs who are struggling to find a employment between the large influx of newcomers over the past few years and the weak economy.
