Hmmm... so I am still left pondering why I have this stamp in my passport!

So for a US citizen, stamping your passport upon re-entering the US is standard procedure?

It is interesting indeed. I did travel by air. I couldn't remember why, I wasn't paying any attention to the process as it wasn't important to me at the time and was pretty clueless about travel norms. I was under the assumption everyone would need to see my passport, so I presented it...

But I am an American citizen. o.O Yet I have a stamp in my PP. Very odd. Even more so as they stamped the wrong date, a day earlier than I actually returned.

I just realized the second stamp says U.S. on it. Whoops. I suppose if my passport will be stamped upon returning to the U.S., that would be telling of how long I was in Canada.

Hmm, that would be convenient, but is that really true? They never stamped a date when you left Canada, only when you arrived? I just checked my passport, and I have both a stamp for arrival and departure for the last time I was in Canada (only for a week). I wonder, if I had not presented it...

You're saying he stays for 6 months, returns to the US for a few weeks and then returns again for another six months?

I've been getting some conflicting info on this forum. I keep reading stories of people visiting Canada for the maximum allowed time (6 months), leaving for a period of time (few weeks, couple months...) and then returning to Canada for another visit. But twice now from two different posters...

Could you please tell me the approximate time you spent inbetween visits?

If you think it won't fly after only a few days, what do you think would be a reasonable amount of time? Also this, http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t32899.0.html - What Suin said, isn't really true, is it? I have never heard of such a rule.

My reason for both, both for extension and wanting to return would be visiting friends. Do you think that reason would get me an extension in the first place?

If I visited Canada for 6 months and applied for an extension but was denied for whatever reason, would I be able to leave the country for say a few days, and then come back as a visitor for another six months?

Re: HELP - need solid information on funds required for extending visit (non-vis Anyone? Please help if you have any information. I don't want to move up there, only to have to go back after six months. :(

Can anyone give me a solid number on what amount of funds (please specify USD or CAD) are required to be eligible to extend my visit (non-visa) for another six months? I will be supporting myself, with a U.S.-based work from home job. And also, is having a lump sum of money sitting in my bank...

If I were to apply for a second extension, I understand that I would need to provide some sort of proof I can support myself. I was reading this page here - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5551E2.asp - and this section: "Evidence of how you will support yourself...
