    Common Law Proof?

    We've been living together in Canada for over a year on visitor visas, and we're ready to apply for PR. However, we only have one piece of proof of our common law relationship. No names on bills or anything like that because under visitor visa, the visitor can't work. Since we only have one...

    Do I need a work permit to continue working?

    So as long as the person isn't Canadian I can take the commission? And what about a Patreon? I refrained from opening a Patreon in anticipation of moving. I know it's sort of a tight line to walk. My work is literally just people asking me "Can you draw me a cute anime girl? Can you draw me some...

    Do I need a work permit to continue working?

    I'm a small time freelance writer and editor from the US. $10 here, $5 there. Nothing I've ever had to pay taxes on. When I came up to Canada on a visitor visa, I stopped taking work orders. It hasn't really affected me in a big way until recently. I'm starting to get known around the internet...

    Little Help on Visitor Extension

    How do I follow them? They're in gibberish. Do I just take them and show them to...I dunno, someone?! Or do I take them myself?! Or have someone take them for me, like my boyfriend? I know nothing about photographs and these are not being printed out. This is an online application.

    Little Help on Visitor Extension

    "Digital Photo" It doesn't really say how many or how to have it done. Can I just send them photos I already have? They're plastered all over the internet because I'm a streamer. "Letter of Explanation" Is this something we should do, or would it get us rejected? I'm a US citizen, he's...

    Visitor Extension Funds Available For My Stay

    Uh...what do I put here? How much my boyfriend makes per month? He's been taking care of me financially for a year now, whether I was in the US or here. We're going to attach plenty of bank reports. However, we don't have just a flat number for my stay. Do I put down approximately how much he...

    Quick Question: Tourism, Family Visit, or Other?

    Currently on the first leg of my PR journey with my (hopefully) soon to be common law boyfriend. I am applying for my first visitor extension. The application is asking what my original purpose for coming to Canada was. It was the holidays with my boyfriend (our first Christmas physically...

    Worried About Income

    This was helpful af, just so you know. You literally just planned out an entire year for us. Like holy shit, no guesswork or anything. Thanks a lot, man. You're a lifesaver.

    Worried About Income

    Ah, okay. No, we can't apply until we are common law, and we can't become common law until I get a visitor extension long enough to keep me there for the common law to be applicable.

    Worried About Income

    Uh oh, how do I convince them I'll leave if I'm not approved? We can't apply for common law if I'm not approved.

    Worried About Income

    Maybe it's for different countries then. Could you tell me about your experiences getting visitor extensions, though? My plan was to visit for the 6 months and apply for a 12 month extension. Would that work, or should I do two visitor extensions like you did? The first 12 months will make us...

    Worried About Income

    I think their name was Bryanna? Someone had asked them for help and she specifically said something about $1k a week.

    Worried About Income

    I read somewhere that in order to extend my visit, I need to provide proof that I make $1k CAD a week? Is this true? That's ludicrous! My boyfriend has been almost 100% of my financial support since March, and only now did he start making approximately that much, but only WHEN his clients get...

    Common Law Sponsorship, How does the 2 year Conditional Part Work?

    Do you want to marry her? Common law is basically marriage. If you're already having doubts about the relationship like this, I don't suggest filing for common law. This isn't something you do out of convenience. This is supposed to reunite families, and forgive me if I'm wrong but from the...

    Should We Hire An Immigration Worker?

    So let me make sure this is correct and 100% legal. The plan now is to visit for the holidays. I'll tell the border officer that I plan on leaving after Valentine's because between New Year's and Valentine's there are a couple birthdays, so I may as well stay. I've never been stamped before...

    Should We Hire An Immigration Worker?

    I'm from the US, remember? I haven't had health coverage since I was 8. I'm 25. :D I don't have family in the US. Our little immediate family was estranged from the rest of the pack. The ones we were on terms with have all passed now. I was taking care of my sick mother until she, too, passed...

    Should We Hire An Immigration Worker?

    Gah I'm just really hyped up on caffeine and it's hard for me to put everything into words. We thought that if we applied for outland, I would be forced to live in the US. It's SO much cheaper to just go ahead and live with him because, like I said, he supports me financially 100%. Thank you...
