Hello everyone,
I`m currently on a Working Holiday (IEC) visa that`s valid for 12 months (up until the beginning of November 2017). I`d like to stay longer in Canada and not have to leave by November. From what I`ve gathered, I can apply for a tourist visa and stay for another 6 months after my Working Holiday visa has expired.
Provided that I receive a tourist visa, is there any possibility to extend the tourist visa? I know that I can apply for the IEC twice, choosing a different option for the second application (i.e. co-op or young professionals), though I`m not sure if those are feasible options for me (personally). I know that you can apply for a new Working Holiday visa if you are a dual citizen. Unfortunately, my country is excluded from the list (Bulgaria).
Could I apply for permanent residency on a tourist visa? And could I do so without the express entry (skilled worker) option or without marrying my girlfriend?
My parents help me with funding, so I wouldn`t have to rely on having a paying job. Which options do I have to stay in Canada having health insurance and sufficient funding from outside to cover living expenses (i.e. me not having to rely on a paying job / work permit)?
Other information (in case it matters):
I`d greatly appreciate an answer!
Thanks
