    Re-entering Canada before VR expires - visit duration?

    My common-law partner and I went to the United States to visit family last month and then returned to Canada 4 days later. When he crossed the border into Canada this time, the officer did not stamp his passport nor issue a new Visitor Record which I suppose could mean that he is allowed to...

    No Sunday marriage in the Philippines + age gap

    (New topic started from another thread for easier reference.) I can't understand what you are saying. I don't think that would be a problem. Whatever you do, don't lie about when you got married. Just say that you had a beach ceremony on Sunday and that the marriage became official in a...

    For Questions 28 and 29, "Have you and your sponsor lived together?" and "Are you currently living with your sponsor?" I'm not sure how to answer.

    CRA says I owe income tax: Problem for sponsoring partner?

    I hate to admit it, but I'm several years behind in filing my income tax returns. I've been a full-time student for a few years and there always seems to be a more urgent deadline, plus my taxes are a little more complicated by the fact that I have sole proprietorship income from an Internet...
