Hi all,
I have a border question. Apologies if you've seen me touch on this in another topic I made, but I didn't get an answer to this specific part. What do you say when CBSA asks how long you are going to be visiting your spouse in Canada?
The times I've gone to visit my boyfriend, I've only stayed for about a week. So I have always had very specific dates to give when they ask me that question (and they've always asked me). But what about if you're going to visit for longer and they ask this question? For example, trying to visit long enough to meet common law cohabitation requirements. My point is if they know you want to stay in Canada for a longer visit like this, won't it make them question your ties to your home country? How do you handle a situation like this? I know you have to be honest at all times. So at this point do you just tell them you want to stay longer for PR purposes and pull out as much evidence as you can to convince them of ties and such? Or is it better not to mention PR unless they ask about it?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.
