Misinterpretation from Visitor to workpermit

[Sweetneha93]

Hello Friends,

My boyfriend came to Canada on visitor visa from US and he was suppose to stay here for 6 months after which he thought of applying for WorkPermit.
During the 6month period he was consulting a immigration consultant who was going to handle this file for him.
The consultant Delayed the Work Permit and applied for it after 1 day so in total my boyfriend stayed here for 6months 1 day (one extra day )

the immigration came back asking questions as to why he stayed here for that extra day and by that time the immigration company that was handling my boyfriends profile had shut down his office.

Long story short, now he is having court dates to prove himself and he is paying a lot of money on lawyers but we are not sure if he will either get his work permit or will he be deported back to India.

The next court hearing is in January and we are very tensed.

I will appreciate if anyone can suggest or share any similar experience so that we know if the decision can be in our favour or no.

regards,
Neha

Hello Neha,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has zero tolerance with over stay. No matter of any day or more which is overstay. On Court Hearing he will mostly 100% will be deported back to India. As well as his TRV will be cancelled because of planning to settling down in Canada. CIC gave visa for visiting / tourism purpose not to convert after overstaying and getting work-permit.
Your boyfriend will have removal order at the end of hearing.
Best advice to go back to India instead of overstaying more.
