I don't have an exact answer for you, but I would imagine that it's easier to get approved for an extension as a visitor if you're already waiting for the Spouse PR application. They need a valid reason for you to want to remain in Canada. In my opinion, the best thing you could do is get...

I know Ponga knows more about this stuff than me, but some time ago while I was on PGWP an agent told me that you DO get implied status with it when you apply. She sent me an email with that information, and I worked under implied status with that information. Two agents from CIC confirmed it, I...

quimmi, we're sort of close on our application dates. Let's hope we go through this fast!

Before I sent my application on June 10, I checked online that same day to make sure the forms hadn't been updated it. They hadn't, which means up until June 10 the old ones were still there. I don't know if that helps.

Here is a tip, I wish somebody had given me this tip at your stage: I don't know which country you're from, BUT APPLY OUTLAND.

May I ask why you have a removal order? It seems like other members may be familiar with your case, the way you're telling it, but I'm really curious, what happened? Sounds like the CBSA person is also really friendly, like... "here I have to kick you out of here but I don't really want to and...

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro! It fixed the problem. Open the files with that software and you'll never have that problem again.

I have a Visa to the United States. I entered Canada without a Visa (for Canada) after coming back from the States, with a valid work permit. A work permit and a Visa in Canada are two different things, and if I had travelled anywhere else (not the States), I would have needed a Visa (in...

I am from a country where you are not even allowed to get on a plane if you don't have a gigantic Visa in your passport for most of the countries in the world. I once got stuck there because I had a valid study permit but my Visa was expired (didn't know they were two different things). However...

I withdrew an application without a UCI #... granted, I haven't heard back yet, but according to the CIC agent the withdrawal is in their system even if my application hasn't been opened yet.

Are we talking about the fbi certificate from the United States??? Or the police certificate from Colombia? I know that you have to go to a bank and pay 60.000 pesos, then they give you some sort of letter that you can send to the Canadian embassy. There are a few members here who have done it...

Yes exactly, you also need a Visa, it says the same thing on study and work permits. As long as you don't leave the States or St. Pierre, you're good.

Yeah I was under that impression too, but I think that's for people who don't need Visas and can just walk in like it's the back door to their house. (just kidding). You know? Like if you're American and you're coming for a week and then leave, then that visit ends. But it's all different for...

Hey everyone... I just talked to a CIC agent, and when you apply to change your status as a visitor, they'll give you a "visitor record" which is a paper that works in the same way as a work permit or a study permit. I know that Americans get that when they cross the border, but it works for us...

Thanks Ponga... would that mean that I wouldn't be allowed back in? Would I have to fly back home for good if I want to visit friends and family in the States? I'm sorry but they are crazy. I have Visas to Europe and the States and I can come and go as I please. I am married to a citizen in...

I submitted the inland PR application in March. In mid-May I called and they had nothing in the system. We sent a withdrawal request on May 22 (haven't heard anything about that) and applied outland on June 11. My status expires on August 3. Strangely, the tracking number for this last outland...

Hi everyone... may I ask how you apply to extend your stay as a visitor with this application in process? I'm already completing it online (I know which application it is), but I'm not sure how I can prove that I'm waiting for a PR process if all I have right now is my receipt. Is there...

Did you apply to the Colombian VO, or did you apply in Canada? They said the Visa Office would send instructions when they request the police certificates, did they give you instructions? I also don't know how to do this and am waiting.

huertdiaz thanks!!! SarahRuiz don't stress out, that's a tiny tiny detail on this whole long process you've been through. You'll be OK it will be over very soon for you too!
