Thanks, PMM.

I understand that there are probably tons of different factors that can affect the consequences of overstaying in Canada. So i will narrow it down a bit. -overstayed for less then 365 days past expected leaving date. -individual was issued special circumstances upon entry into canada (i.e: a 3...

Thank you all for taking the time to clear everything up for me. It is greatly appreciated. You guys are the best! -Sebastien

Can you receive a sponsorship acceptance letter before the sponsorship actually becomes legal? I understand that sponsorship can be a lengthy process, and as I mentioned our goal is to get her back into the country as soon as possible. So say if I filed it September 1st (for example), and even...

Okay, that makes more sense. I will use the suggestions you and the other users provided me with and begin filing her PR and sponsorship immediately when I return to Canada next Wednesday. Additionally, I like your idea regarding the photo copies of the app forms & completed medical/police...

My girlfriend (now spouse, as we got married in Canada during her visit) came into Canada on October 29th, 2009 traveling from the United States (she is an American citizen). The Customs Agent at the airport only granted her a 3 month TRV (I am assuming it's a TRV, it was an official document...

Good day, Allow me to explain the situation: My spouse (then girlfriend at the time) came to Canada (from the United States, she is an American citizen) on October 30th, 2009. The IO granted her a 3-month VISA, because he was apparently suspicious of her intentions (I believe it had to do with...

Yes she is traveling with a U.S passport

Good day, Allow me to explain the situation: My spouse (then girlfriend at the time) came to Canada on October 30th, 2009. The IO granted her a 3-month VISA, because he was apparently suspicious of her intentions (I believe it had to do with discrimination, but that is another story). She was...
