I walked into HSBC in London Ontario about a year ago, they opened the account right away. All they wanted was a copy of the passport (main page) and an address.

Record of landing, described here. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t31710.0.html What you need depends on where you will get married. Ask your boyfriend to go to city hall where ever he is based, they can help him. Or you can ask a notary to marry you, they will...

You knew that when you made the OP :)

So are you here on a visit at this time? The six months is in one contiguous block, it does not "reset" at the end of the year.

Would it be possible to change the status to visitor and then at a later time extend the visitor visa?

If you have a visitor record you need to copy that, and as job_seeker said, any "marked pages" - [edited] the passport page that has been stamped on your last visit to Canada - and any other marked pages. If you want to pay at a financial institution you will need to order IMM 5401 in advance...

Only copies are required, the document check list IMM5558 tells you NOT to send originals.

Sorry, I do not know about the working holiday scheme. other people here are better qualified to answer.

Have a look here for info on inland and outland. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/applying-outland-from-inland-t22144.0.html;msg114785#msg114785 you can also search the forum for inland/outland Yes you can apply when you are in Canada, but if you are called for...

I assume you got your extension form in 30 days before your tourist visa ended. Can I ask, are you from a visa exempt country, or did you have a visa or a visitor record? I believe that in some cases you are not allowed to attend school while you are in Canada - I know my visitor record...

Yes I have a VR, what fun :) Well, I have made lots of visits to Canada, I now get a first name greeting from POE staff (no, it is a joke), I am on a VR that ends in March and I have just applied for an extension so that I can get married. So you are correct, I must be BRIGHT RED on the...

This is the main point, if the POE thinks this is what you intend they will not let you in. If you buy the right sort of return ticket, it is possible to either move the return date (for a fee) or get a refund for the unused part. That is what I have done, because I have applied to extend my...

That makes sense. BTW I was looking at this as a visa exempt person (Brit).

SouthZJ, you said Are you on a work permit or a "business visitor" or just here as a visitor? Working temporarily in Canada: Extending your stay http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/extend-stay.asp Visiting Canada: Extending your stay - Changing your status after coming to Canada as a visitor...

If there are no people to care for, isn't this "house sitting"?

I have copies of all the documents that I have sent; I used Fedex to get the package to Vegreville, and I ticked the box "signature required on delivery". If you leave Canada when under implied status you lose it, but what happens if you leave after you have an extension granted? I guess that...

Humor - we need more humour ;D

Yeah, I noticed that :( I could be rich and a lot calmer if I knew how the mind of a POE worked :)

Thanks for the clarification.

My view FWIW. Like you, I doubt you would have enough time. You can do this for $75 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend-stay.asp It has to be at Vegreville at least 30 days before your visa (visitor record) expires. What you ask for, and what you get are variable, some people get more...
