Hello!
So I am an american interested in moving to canada to live with my canadian girlfriend and after all my research I've come to the conclusion that she could sponsor me as a Conjugal Partner. However, what I'm wondering is after reading the sticky post on this forum -
"For example, if your partner could get a visit visa to come to Canada for 6 months and then apply for an extension to get the full year, even though they will not be allowed to work, that is not considered an immigration barrier. An immigration barrier is if your partner tries to get a visit visa to come to Canada and is repeatedly refused. Some people have had luck with the conjugal class but try to avoid it if possible."
I'm not keen on not helping make money while trying to live in Canada and this statement suggests I would have to... and for a while. Or even worse, spend thousands of dollars applying for a visit visa and refused multiple times.
Is there no way to be sponsored as a conjugal partner and be able to work fairly quickly? If not, is there any other way I may be able to get a work visa without having a degree?
Thank you for reading and for your time!
