Hello everyone, thank you for your time in reading my question.
my future spouse comes from a visa exempt country, and she will be travelling here next month to stay with me for a little while. we have been waiting two years in order for her to graduate so we can make the proper arrangements for us to finally start our lives together (she will be graduating this month). Our plan is to get married here in order to go through the spousal sponsorship program, i doubt we will be able to make all of the necessary arrangements including the gathering of proper documentation in order to start the application process within a 6 month window, but anything is possible so who knows. but in the event that this cannot be acheived within 6 months before she would hypothetically be required to return home, i searched for this "visit extension" i keep reading about. this would also be useful information in the event we decided to apply outland rather than inland so she has less of a risk if she desires to travel but still remain here for the majority of the process. it seems that the only information i was able to gather was pertaining to foreign visitors who are required to apply for either a single or multiple entry visa in the first place and it left me a little bit confused. can anyone make this clearer for me and correct any misleading facts i might have? thank you very much!
