Hello,

My name is Declan and I am Irish. I have been in Canada on a year long work program visa and have met the woman who I want to settle down with.

The problem is due to way I got my previous Visa it cannot be extended. Also due to the place we wanna live and work in Canada, Fort St John there is no one within 500km that can help.

All I have been able to figure out at this stage is that it would be easier if neither of us was Canadian.
The main thing I was wondering was how or can I apply for an open work permit just like if she was only studying here from another country?
Also should I apply for a work permit or just wait and hope that the process gets done in the 4-5months which it states on the CIC website?

thanks in advance
Declan
