We'll only have proper meat! Hopefully self-caught fish if the crowd stays small and the fish are biting that day too.

Well living together is a pretty normal stage of progression for any relationship. Nonetheless, I like what you're saying, and you're not the only one saying it either. I think you make a good point and it's something I'll start to seriously consider it. And lol at your last sentence.

For sure, it's a question of whether or not we should even bother with the extension or just look into staying in Mexico until we're ready to apply for PR. As with all Mexicans her ETA is no longer valid per the bulletin they put out a few months (or so?) ago. We were thinking it might be less...

I suppose the next question, which probably has no answer but I have to ask, is: Is it likely that her extension is denied under these conditions?

Hey Ponga, thank you for the quick reply. We will certainly be truthful about her overstay/working in the US. We also know about her ban and have no plans to visit the US for the next 10+ years. While marriage is an option, we were both hoping for that to come after PR, since that feels more...

Hello, my girlfriend (Mexican) and I (Canadian) have been living together in Canada for 5 months. We are working toward establishing common law and eventually PR, and as such we're applying for an extension that will allow us to live together for the necessary 12 months. We prefer that these 12...

Certainly understandable. We will discuss a backup plan and look into a new attorney as ours did not provide us with any of this information, which I feel like we should have gotten. I appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this information, both of us thank you.

A relevant detail is that she'll be crossing back into Mexico on foot, they don't really record anything, so I'm not sure whether or not her date of departure will be obvious. I'm not saying this to be hopeful or anything like that, it's just a relevant detail maybe. Thankfully, we're quite...

Yes she will be. She will not be setting foot in the USA either: ever, or until she gets another valid visa some day in the distant future.

She'll be back in Mexico for only a month before flying up to Canada separately from me. From what I'm hearing this could raise some red flags I assume. I also have no doubt that the USA has information on her, I'm going to assume for the sake of being thorough that they know to the letter her...

My mistake, I must have misinterpreted your earlier post then. As for me, I have never overstayed in the US. I have always been here on the appropriate visas, with the proper legal representation. I am back in Canada, because I live here. I took what I could and the rest is being shipped up to...

@canuck78 To piggyback, following up on what we were told: the overstay in the USA won't really be something known to Canada presumably until we disclose it during PR, since she left willingly and wasn't deported and whatnot. We were told that her flying from Mexico City to Canada could of...

The overstay was in the USA, not Canada. I have been working in the USA (legally) and she has been here with me, albeit not living together and her of course overstating. She also has a house in Mexico, so she has ties to Mexico. The relevance of those details was to explain that she has always...

@scylla she already has her ETA, she has had it since before entering the USA and it's valid until 2025

@scylla we will absolutely be honest about it. @canuck78 yes we figured. We consulted with an immigration attorney and mentioned all of this. The conclusion was that since she had previously been a student here for a year, has a current valid visitor visa, and will be flying in from Mexico...

Thank you so much for your response, we are a bit less concerned now and will certainly be seeking legal counsel to be as thorough as possible. Unfortunately, she didn't live with me in the USA. She will be coming to Canada with me in November, where we will be living together to establish...

Basically the title. My fiance and I have been dating for a year and a half. I am a Canadian, she is Mexican. We plan to get married soon and apply for PR. The issue is, for part of our relationship we were both in the USA. She had entered legally but overstayed for 9 months. I am absolutely...

Hello. I'm hoping to gain some clarity regarding the best path forward for me and my girlfriend. I am Canadian, she is Mexican. We have been living out of the country for one year, though not together. She has a valid visitor's visa for Canada. At this point, we would like to enter Canada...
