Hi,
My situation is this:
I'm 18. I have been accepted into my dream university Queen's University for fall 2017. I realize I will apply for a study permit for this but I want to know if there is absolutely anyway possible to get permanent residency within 1 to 2 years of being in Canada? I ask because being an American I have to pay international tuition which my parents were confused on until now and I have already accepted this university's offer. I received only about $5-6k in federal loans from the FAFSA and no Pell. My family will have to apply for a loan through Sallie Mae. Possibly using money from selling our home in 2 years to pay off the loan as our house has went over double its bought price. If I can get permanent residency before my years are over I could pay the domestic tuition which would make things much easier. I'm fresh out of high school so I have no job experience so there goes most of the PR options unless theres a non-express one? I also have a Canadian girlfriend of a 4 years ldr who is attending the same school. Is there any way she could sponsor me for PR? She is 19 and we are same sex. Is there a way we could say we are conjural or common law for sponsorship? I read that in Ontario if I pass the preliminary reqs for PR I can get domestic tuition. Please help and thank you
If this doesn't work out I guess I can apply to St. Lawrence College, but I don't know how good that'll be to obtain a degree from there. My parents feel shame in me going to a college than a university.
