Hello All,
I am hoping that somebody can help me with some advice.
I have called the CIC several times, and they have directed me to their website, so I have had no firm resolution of my questions.
My situation is this. I came here in December to be with my boyfriend. I am an Australian citizen, and he is a Canadian citizen.
We would like to marry, and he would like to sponsor me, but he received a criminal conviction as a result of false allegations from a vindictive ex, and no proof of abuse was required, just her word.
My boyfriend had to plead guilty so that he could get on with his life and be able to work, as these cases can stay in the legal system for YEARS and that would have put him in limbo. He also has limited resources to pay for legal representation etc.
I understand that this conviction makes him inelligible to sponsor me as his wife, but I have NO criminal record, I have a clear criminal history.
Is there any other way we can do this?
If we marry can I be forced to leave the country? Is there a way that I could have extensions to my temporary visa granted ongoingly in order to stay?
Thank you so much for your responses. I love this man so dearly and we want to be together. I am devastated about all this.
