I met my boyfriend online in 2010. I just met in last year in 2012 and began a relationship with him. I have visited him twice since then for long periods (calculating to 6 months). We plan to get married sometime in the summer of 2013. But we aren't sure about the procedure. I have been reading forums and looking at the site. We have a few questions, hopefully someone can answer.
1. Next time I visit, do I say to immigration that I'm visiting my boyfriend?
2. When we plan to get married, do I tell immigration?
3. Will it look bad if we spontaneously get married?
4. If we get married, my boyfriend would like me to just stay while the process of the application, but it is to my understanding its faster to applying from outland. Does anyone know is it better to apply from inland or outland?
5. What evidence will immigration need to prove our marriage or relationship? Photos? I have photos.
6. It is to my understanding that they question you and your spouse through an interview? what do they ask?
7. In Ontario, Canada what are the requirements to get married to a foreigner? A marriage license?
8. After we are married and if I am allowed to stay in Canada, may I apply for a work permit, if so how long does it usually take?
Thank you. Any information you could clarify or provide me with would be greatly appreciated.
