Ah so a visitor visa would not help my chances of being stopped at the border due to my overstay, correct? I read somewhere that once you stayed in Canada and left again you must wait 6 months to re-enter, but I'm not sure where I read that so I may be mistaken!

Hello all! I wanted to run this by you good folks here for your opinions; In Oct. 2014 I landed in Canada as a US citizen to stay with my gf (now common-law partner) to complete the one year of living together needed to apply for family class PR. When my six months of status from my passport...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to visit my family in the US while waiting for my Permanent Residency application to go through? I still have a valid passport and all of my documents, will they allow me back into the country? Thanks!

It was inland. The article I read about work permits while waiting for PR approval is that they do come with temporary health coverage but it can take up to four months to reach that stage.

I've spent my year with my common-law GF and as of 10/27 we submitted the PR package. I'm in Ontario.

Hello everyone! My girlfriend asked if I could ask if she could claim me as a dependent on her taxes this year. I am a; -Us Citizen -Here On A Visitors Visa To Establish PR Qualifications We are currently unmarried, but I cannot work and she has been supporting me since October. If you have...

I am referring to the visa extension, but that information is helpful too! My girlfriend was afraid she would need to meet a certain financial level for the Family Class application.

Thank you both for your advice! One more area of concern, do they require a minimum financial income or will our income be sufficient? I assume they check just to make sure illegals aren't staying here on government aid.

Hello all! I registered today so I could post and hopefully gain some insight or advice. Here is my situation; I'm from the US, and I met my Canadian girlfriend in October 2013, and maintained a long distance relationship until we met on June 14th, 2014. I visited until the 28th, and then went...
