My wife and I have been married since April, although we just got our P.R. application turned in a few weeks ago. (We had to do a lot of digging through things to fix evidence of travels and under estimated the time it'd take to put together our application. On top of that, we waited until the last minute to do police clearance without realizing how long it would take). Anyway, I've visited her a few times since we've been married. A weekend in June, the whole of September and October and the first week of November. I came back to visit her for Christmas, getting here on the 12th and planning on leaving on Jan 2nd to get things set up for my job. I work seasonally in the United States from May to September.
The problem is that last time I went through customs (on top of getting the third degree from the Customs Agent because I had to run all the way across the Toronto airport to try and get my connection, only to miss the flight by having to get sent through immigration) is that the immigration officer wrote in my passport that I had to be gone by Jan 9. I'm planning on coming back on Jan 11. I won't be able to see my wife at all during the summer and so we like to spend as much time together as possible during the 'off season'. I would ideally like to get a visitor's visa (because my wife and I plan on going on a cruise together) but I've been told mixed things even by Immigration Call Center agents. One told me that it's rare, but possible. The other insisted that it was impossible all together because I'm an American.
Is there any way to make it easier for me to cross into the country without missing my connections?
