Hey everyone, I currently is on a two years visitors record and is ready to send in my application for outland. However, I need my FBI clearance. Can anyone please explain to me how I would get an FBI clearance from within Canada. Thank you.

Hey thanks, because the process is independent, say I was to get denied for a work/study permit, would it affect my sponsorship application?

Hey guys, I've asked this before, but never got a definite answer. I am an American on a 2 year visitor record. My husband and I are in the process of submitting our application in. Is there a way I can apply for a work or study visa? Don't get me wrong, I love being with my husband, but being a...

Hey all, I was wondering if I could apply for an open work permit / study permit? I am in Canada in the process of submitting my spousal application and I have a visitor's record for 2 years. I have read around that if someone in my position applies for these permits, that they are likely to be...

I was issued a 2 years visitors record and was wondering if I could study at a 6 or under months course. I know it states on my Visitors record that I can not study, but then on CIC website it says that visitors can study if the course is 6 months or less. Can I do such a thing? Thanks. :D

I hope you the best of luck and when you go back to the border that you guys will get a more understanding IO.

I am very sorry to have heard this. This yet again is a prime example of border crossings and IOs are all different. That is just rediculous. I hope your FBI comes in soon or if you can just send the app without it despite it delaying the app process just by a little. :/

Hey it's okay, I have been there and it was a bad experience as well. Here was my situation, I got refused once and almost again (both times through customs at the airport). My hubby and I have had a success through the land crossings once so we took our chance. And no we haven't even sent in...

Well the way that I look at it is, I don't think you two @fig @simb should be worried at all. As long as you guys are telling the truth. However @fig, I don't know how your situation will be, withouth your husband. You can always tell them that he's waiting for you right now and they can speak...

I don't know how Pearson airport is, but the way I look at airports are they are more strict. This is just my experience. Will you be entering with your husband? I crossed through Carway, not busy at all. I 100% agree! Yup :) will you be crossing soon?

Here is my story. I wanted to share this with everyone who was in the same situation as me. I am the American, my husband is the Canadian. Enjoy! I flew from California to Montana, where I landed 2 hours from the Alberta border. While I was flying and such, my husband was driving down to...

Well our original plan was for me to fly up on the 11th, so in less than 2 weeks from now. Now my husband and I might cancel our flights ... and use our flight credit for me to fly to Kalispell MT, which is a few hours from Carway (One of the border in Alberta, that we have passed through...

I believe that there is no right or wrong answer. Some flew some went by vehicle. I guess we all have to trust our guts. But this is soooo worrisome. And @Simb, actually I was denied entry once when I flew and they made me pay for a flight back! For some, the airlines paid for them, but I was...

Yes one of the things my husband will present to them is the receipt (of fees paid) and also our almost finished application. With my experience with both I too found the airports to be a lot more strict. However, despite of that thought, my husband and I thought they would understand our...

This really freaks me out as well! :( ! I forgot to ask, but is flying a lot more different than crossing the land border? I've been through both. Was denied entry when I flew (so I know how thorough they are) and when we crossed through the land border, it was easy ... I was only asked two...

Anyone else has tips with customs at the airport

Again thank you. And do you guys think the return flight would suffice. I mean I've gone through CBSA with my hubby (then bf) and it was fine ... Experiences at the airport with me alone was gruesome. I can't think of any other ties since I don't have any :(!

Thank you for your very informative answer, I was told that I should buy the round trip ticket, just in case they wanted to know if I'd return. I asked around if I should show ties to my country and I get some answers yes and some answers no. What do you think? And I will definitely be changing...

Thanks for the encouraging words, I guess I just had a few questions to be sure haha

I will be crossing the border in 2 weeks :) My hubby is visiting for a few days and will be coming up with me. I am American and he's Canadian fyi :) I have a few questions to anyone who have had this experience or knowledge: 1. We want to be 100% honest with the IOs, so my hubby are going to...
