Hi all,

I'm going to go and visit my girlfriend as soon as I can get my paperwork together.
The rules say that you must stay a minimum of 15 days and you must show proof.

Is this a hard or flexible rule?
I'm just wondering as I may only be able to visit for between 10-14 days.
Just wondering on what people think about this.


Kind regards,
Happy belated Canada Day

It's a hard rule. You have to quarantine for a full 14 days once you arrive due to COVID-19. This means you can't return home until day 15. A 10-14 day trip isn't going to work.

Note that if you are planning to stay with your girlfriend, she will have to quarantine as well for the 14 days.

I am an American citizen, my boyfriend is a Canadian Permanent Resident. We have been dating for two years and have traveled to see each other many times. When he came to Canada he was in a common law marriage but is not anymore. Does anyone know if that will affect me going over there or his stuff when he applies for citizenship for Canada? How thorough is their research when approving or denying people.

What if his documents still show that he is common law married? Do you know if they do a background check in regards to that?
A person's relationship status is irrelevant when applying for citizenship.

Be should really be declaring his real relationship ship status especially on things like his taxes. Are you both aware that he can’t sponsor a partner for 5 years after receiving PR if he was sponsored by his common law? When did he land in Canada and was it through a common law sponsorship?
