Long story, we came through the border to visit while PR is in process. We had to turn back and get more proof of ties to the US (BO would have given me 6 months), and got a new BO that basically admitted she was being an "ass" as she called herself, because I had gotten an exclusion order last year and she wants to make my life hell. She said I can only stay for 2 weeks, then have to go home for a few months, then can come back for a few weeks and repeat. But I'm here with hubby and my kids at least.

What I need to know is with this VR, can I apply for an extension through Vegreville? It says on it:

Case Type: 10
a list of conditions (no working, school, etc) and
Must leave Canada by 17 Nov 2011 and
Must furnish proof compliance on 17 Nov 2011 at Port of Exit.


Are these "conditions" normal? Do they exclude me from requesting an extension? Do we need a lawyer?

Yes I think it may be unusual. The "Must leave Canada by [date]" is usual. They always say that. Case type 10 is a visitor permit; nothing unusual there. The "Must furnish proof compliance on 17 Nov 2011 at Port of Exit" I haven't seen before. My partner was originally only given 3 months due to lack of ties to the U.S. and the fact that we hadn't sent the PR application (though we had it with us, 90% complete) and we hadn't even paid the fees due to a misunderstanding that we had to pay fees to Buffalo (not true for a spousal sponsorship).

The original permit had the following Remarks:
"Confirm departure from Canada - Return this document to CBSA on or before 02May2010.
Apply for extensions through Vegreville Alberta -
www.cic.gc.ca, visitor, extend my stay."

In our case, we just applied to Vegreville just before the 3 months were up and we never returned the document to anyone.

If you have an exclusion order, maybe you are obligated to go back without applying for an extension. You could always go back for just a couple of days, then try again hoping to come across a sympathetic border officer who is having a good day. I have read of people here who tried 2 or even 3 times before being let in. However -- if they get any wind that you are trying to violate your exclusion order, they may give you a 1 or even 2 year exclusion.
