stay in the states....or apply to mississauga like the rest of us!!!!! no wonder us Canadian citizens wait so long!!!! people like you will use any way you can to get in to North America.... now its Canada ... why not Mexico....

People like me will use any way... you are right!!!! I got to do what I got to do to give a good education to my children, feed my family, medicine for my parents. you will feel the needs when you are in my shoe. You are a Filipino, you know how tough it is back home. Also the reason why you and your family migrated to Canada.

So please stop being sarcastic, you are not helping.

So JD, according to the lawyer in the article if you were admitted to the US with a visa good for at least a year and overstayed you would still be able to apply for a permanent resident visa from Canada. I take that to mean if the US visa had been granted for a shorter period, say 6 months which is the typical duration of a US tourist visa, and if you then overstayed you would not be eligible to apply for a Canadian permanent resident visa.

I understand. Would it have the same decision, if the principal immigrant is my wife? She has the one who has family in Canada.

We're a bit of a grumbly bunch, a lot of us have been waiting for our spouses for way too long. ???

There is another thing you should look into and consider. Right now the US finally has a chance to get legislation passed that would create a path to citizenship for some of the 11 million people living there illegally. You could wait to see if that pans out and in the meantime would your wife consider applying for a temporary visa to the US. Is she a citizen of Canada yet?

The US is easier to get into, harder to stay.. Canada is harder to get into, easier to stay.
At least where spouses are concerned.

I am not taking that path. USA is not for my daughters, we got no family here. My wife's relatives are all in Manitoba. My wife has a multiple tourist visa like mine. She intend to lodge her application to Manitoba this year.

Cormaxx, Jarry96, StephC I really appreciate your valuable time and for shedding useful info. I pray like me, you would reunite to your spouse soon.
