    Disabled Sponsor, Sweetheart in Togo

    On the one hand, relatuionships break up all the time. Especially when cultures/religion/language/age/background are all so different. I wouldn't nessecarily "blame" the woman just because things went south. On the otherhand, that guy is kind of dumb. Spendings tens of thousands of dollars on...

    Disabled Sponsor, Sweetheart in Togo

    Did he ask for you to send him this money? Maybe he wasn't being scammed at all. Maybe he is scamming you.

    Disabled Sponsor, Sweetheart in Togo

    Wow she was lucky! Good thing he only wanted $8000 and walked away as soon as he got it. If he had wanted more money plus Canadian citizenship, he could have convinced her to marry him and sponsor him and then divorce her and take half her assets or go on welfare for 3 years.

    Help, I Think I'm Screwed

    Its not an issue. She can apply for a visa extension and it is usually granted. (it's a bit weird because at that point its obvious she is not a "visitor" and wont be leaving Canada. But they tend to approve visa extensions for PR applicants regardless.)

    Bad news for TFW under food service processing their LMO

    The Conservative government has made a complete disaster of the TFW program. It has been used by corporations to abuse migrant workers, treating them like slaves, and at the same time as driven down wages of Canadians and increased unemployment. I have no faith that Harper will fix this...

    want to sponsor my wife, but possible police background problem?

    If this affects your application in anyway, get a lawyer and take the cops to court. Your wife will get her PR and you will also get a nice settlement. I know a guy who sued the Vancouver police in small claims court because they arrested him for no reason (i believe the settlement was $10,000)...

    No. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

    Possibility of marrying a Canadian national. Lot of questions...

    If you apply inland you can continue on whatever visa on you are on, and continue to extend it as long as you can. If that visa allows you to work, then you can work. If not, then no. If the visa does lapse during the process you can continue your sponsorship. Once you get to stage 2 (AIP)...

    How to build credit while app pending

    Ahh ok. If you are a student then get a student card. They give them out like candy. If not, have your spouse co-sign on your personal creditcard (rather than shared account). If you want a no-fee card, it can difficult, but a fee one they will likely give it to you. I started out with $500...

    I'm sorry you don't understand. Let me explain. There will always be desperate people wanting to immigrate to Canada anyway they can. We can't eliminate that. There are only two things reducing that. Canadian sponsors being careful, and the government enacting more and more draconian laws that...

    Whatever. I contribute to this forum and answer peoples questions daily. The OP contributes nothing, and only seeks to harm other people. He/she post was asking about how she can get her ex deported. And i'm a bad guy for not helping her? This forum is for helping immigrants, not for helping...

    Impossible. Because of people like the OP my spouse is punished with Condition 51. I didn't say anything nasty, i am just reserving my sympathy for people who are suffering. And many people are suffering because of the actions of people like the OP. The OP is not being harmed. She can go on...

    Unless you can show some serious misrespresentation, i dont think they are going to care. If he starts going on welfare you can write the welfare people, accuse him of welfare fraud. it may work and may get him to stop collecting. Otherwise, if he isnt collecting welfare, then he isnt really...

    Want to extend 6 month visitor visa for filipina. anyone done this?

    Inland is fundamentally different from outland. You cant just switch one for the other. For example, Inland applicants cant appeal. Outland applicants can get their SIN with their COPR, Inland have to wait for their PR card. Inland applicants can getan OWP at stage 2, Outland can't. Etc.

    Questions about Inland

    Yeah its kind of messed up. If she is visa-exempt then its probably fine to tell them you plan to apply inland. So dont worry about it.
