Hi there, my girlfriend has been in Canada for over 6 months now as we were waiting to get a visitor visa extension. Unfortunately, we just received notice that her application has been refused and she must leave the country immediately :( I was just wondering if it is possible to do a border...

What about south and central America? Specifically the Mexico Office. I can't seem to find any information on that. Thanks!

Anyone? I find some information saying it only takes 8-10 months on average, but I find other people saying that it can take up to 2 years? Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

So I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything regarding their CSQ application that was submitted after August 1st, 2013? There is currently no processing time information on the Quebec immigration website.

Ughh... I wish immigration didn't take so long, but I understand. Thanks for the replies!

We only had her go back to Peru so that she could visit her family, and because we were worried that she wouldn't be able to get back into Canada so soon after leaving (hence the 2.5 month trip, and 5 week gap)...

Hmmm.. She has phone bills addressed to my address. Would that help? I own the apartment and have always paid the utility bills directly from my account, so I would never have asked her to pay for any of that. I could probably get the concierge to notarize some letter saying that she has...

My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for almost 3 years. She is from Peru, and I am born and raised in Canada. In July 2013 she came here on a visitor visa. She lived with me in my apartment (that I own, so we don't share a lease or anything), until December 2013 when we decided to...

I forgot to mention that my girlfriend has a 5 year multiple entry visa which doesn't expire until 2017. Does this change anything? Her current entry stamp expires in September...

Okay.. I heard of a couple other options that I was hoping might work... I've heard that we can apply for an extension if we explain that we're attempting to gain common-law status? Is this true? What if we drive to the US the day her 6 month stamp expires, and then re-enter a few days later...

My girlfriend is in Canada on a tourist visa for 6 months (multiple entry), and we will most likely be looking to extend her tourist visa for another 6 months. My question is, should we apply for an extension from within Canada (telling them that we currently have an application in process for...

Hi there, My girlfriend applied for QSW on October 1st, and she just received notice that the payment has been collected from her credit card. I'm wondering what happens next? I'm worried because we will be travelling abroad for the next 2 months, and I'm worried that she might miss her...

I would like to take a certificate course that lasts for 3 months, with the possibility of continuing into another course after.. On the CIC website it says: "If you wish to study in a short-term course or program You do not need a study permit if you plan to take a course or program in Canada...

I would like to apply for the Quebec Immigration - Skilled Worker Program. I meet all the criteria and have enough points, however I am worried about the fact that I am currently unemployed. On form A-1520-AA (2013-05) number 25, it asks for the last 3 pay slips for my present job. Since I do...

My girlfriend is coming to Canada for a few months to take a certificate course in Business. CIC's website says that you only need a study permit for full time studies that last for more than 6 months. The course that she is enrolled in is only once per week for 3 hours, and lasts for only 3...

This is what I was thinking too. Even though he has already passed away, we share the same grandfather.... Same blood. Would that not count? If anyone else confirm this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, what if the job is an assistant manager for a family company? Reality is that she quit her previous job because she didn't like it, so it was a good chance to travel Canada for a few months with me before she starts working at her family's company. I hope that's okay?

I'm thinking that I will go together in the same line as her because I'm worried that they could ask one simple question "are you travelling alone" and "why aren't you in the same line?". Anyways, I think I will show proof that she is starting a new job 5 months down the road (in Peru) and that...

So just have her go through the line by herself and tell the officer that she is just travelling the country? Should I the write a statement saying that I will support her financially while she is here? Or should I just deposit money into her account before she comes?
