Well, to start off I was accepted into a School in Canada and will be applying for a study permit very soon. Since I'm from the U.S, ill be applying at the border. (future posts with questions will follow this post)
My girlfriend of 4 and a half years is a Canadian Citizen and is going to the same school i was accepted into so that's great!
Of course, we always talked about marriage and we wanted to know if its even possible to do so now that ill be in Canada for a good 4 years.
What we're talking about recently is that she wants to be a sponsor to be able to give me PR. From all the readings she went through (readings arent enough to know everything, i know)
she believes she's eligible to be a sponsor thus being able to give me PR.
Before i can start fantasizing/ having my hopes up about being a PR in Canada, my main priority is to marry her. Of course we won't be throwing a big wedding since we're both students however there will be celebration.
In conclusion, is she able to marry me without affecting my study permit? if so great. Another question i feel weird to ask about is:
If i can marry her, will she be able to sponsor me to maybe receiving PR?
Who would i need to contact about this? Immigration lawyers? CIC?
Off topic from all everything above, is there an American or someone who went through applying at the border that can help me figure out what you needed exactly or some type of source that will help. My plan is to apply around the end of June. Ive read that its not common that theyll give me the permit at that time but Ive recently started paying rent for a place that ill be staying with my GF. If i apply at the border in June, my family will be giving me financial support ($1000 incase it helped) everything month. If i cant apply for study permit mid June, may i go into Canada with my stuff and move into the place im already paying money for? Of course, i will be showing financial support and a copy of the contract i signed with my GF for the place we'll be in. Anything else that may help? I also want to apply for jobs around the area for the beginning of September, not work before September. Who can i call to ask these type of questions to?
thank you and if i have any more questions related to this post, ill post it below.
