    Visitor visa is about to expire and still haven´t heard from Immigration.

    If he applied for a visitor extension and you do not receive the decision before his current visitor status expires, he will be on "implied status" and can legally stay in Canada until a positive or negative decision is made on that application. There is nothing for you to do until you receive...

    Since you do not currently work for that company you are not eligible for intra-company transferee. The Canadian company would have to apply for a Labour Market Opinion to be able to hire you.

    Application for WORK PERMIT made OUTSIDE of Canada

    Ok, one more time. A "visa" is an ENTRY document. A "permit" says what you can do when you get here. So I'm going to assume you have an International Experience Class work PERMIT, formerly the Working Holiday program. But my question to you is on what basis are you applying for another two...

    Couple of questions regarding our situation

    This doesn't mean charges were dropped. It means they were probably expunged because he was a juvenile when the offences were committed. Full disclosure is necessary however it won't make him inadmissible to Canada as it would be considered under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. I agree that...

    Do We have to live together to get a citizenship?

    It doesn't matter if you and your wife are living together or not to qualify for citizenship. Currently, the requirement is that as a permanent resident, you are physically present in Canada for 3 out of the previous 4 years to be eligible to apply.

    Dilemma

    Actually, even without having applied online, if the OP sends the PR and OWP applications via Canada Post Xpress or Registered Mail on or before the date their current permit expires they will be on "implied status".

    Do we qualify? Please help if you can.

    First of all, if you are American you don't need a "visa", you need a "permit" to study or work in Canada. A visa is an entry document. A permit says what you can do when you get here. American are exempt from requiring a visa to enter Canada. So if you flew here for vacation you don't have...

    same-sex sponsorship advice needed!

    Look, I'm sorry that you disagree with me. But you're wrong. It's not material to the application they will be viewing. He certainly won't be the first person to marry someone of the opposite sex, divorce and then marry someone of the same sex. And once he's got the 10 year green card...

    same-sex sponsorship advice needed!

    I'm just going to repeat what I said above. If the CURRENT relationship is genuine, very unlikely to be refused. Sorry, I know that's not what most people on here want to hear. Committing fraud anywhere, anytime is wrong. However, that being said, CIC will only assess what is material to the...

The only hope the sponsor would have is if he/she advises CBSA that they havebecome aware that the applicant committed fraud by only marrying him/her to gain entry into Canada, they discovered this after the PR visa was issued, tried to withdraw...

    same-sex sponsorship advice needed!

    Committing fraud anywhere, anytime is wrong. However, that being said, CIC will only assess what is material to the PR application which is the relationship between the sponsor and the applicant. In this case, the applicant did NOT commit fraud to gain entry into Canada. That's what CIC cares...
