Good Day everyone

So here my story i try to keep it short

i came to Quebec in Feb 2010 on a Work and Travel visa because of my Girlfriend she is Canadian and from Quebec, i got a nice job as a Truck Mechanic near Magog

I am 27 and from Germany
i have a view years of Automotive Mechanics experience a view years of Carpentry Supervision and a view years as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic 10 years ago.

My French is really bad but my English is like my second mother language so i dont have any Problems

My Visa runs out in Feb 2011 so that still gives me a view month but what am i going to do then, i want to stay with my girlfriend here in Canada, it does not has to be Quebec as long as it is Canada

The websites of the Canadian immigration are quite confusing

What sould i do and what visa should i go for?

Thanks

You can ask your girlfriend to sponsor you as a permanent resident. Read the website www.cic.gc.ca for details.

You can not renew the work and travel visa but you can apply for another visa called young professionals, see http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/germany-allemagne/youth-jeunesse/index.aspx?lang=deu&menu_id=75&menu=L It will get you a work permit for another year and then you will have 12 months with your girlfriend and she can sponsor you.
