Not too fast I hope, my extension application will arrive in Vegreville today (by courier), I would like to make the most of my implied status :) I understand that "Implied status" ends when a decision is made, or if I leave the country. But that raises a question, does implied status start...

When I did mine I included a copy of the return ticket (or E Ticket) - I explained that I can change the date of return flight for $xx. You have to prove that you intend to leave, I guess that a return ticket is a good part of that proof. Shall we all post in just one thread :) Here or in...

Call the embassy first, ask what their procedure is. In amongst all your paperwork for PR you will have copies of the detail (picture) page of your passport, that will help the embassy a lot.

Congratulations.

No problem. I guess that there are plenty of things we "do" that give POE officers cause to ask questions :) If I want to shop, and they stop me, I show that I can afford to buy stuff, but usually I leave it with my Fiancee. International travel is no longer a good experience, I better not get...

Passport - I believe you do, but i am a Brit, so maybe someone else can confirm. The USA is on the list of Visitor Visa Exemptions so you do not need a visa (more details at the link below). http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLish/visit/visas.asp

Your request is specific, I can't give you exact answers only my views, as you know the facts and I do not, but in general....... Have you lived with your boyfriend at all, if yes, how long - there may be other options? You really intend to be married, not just so you can stay in canada? What...

The ticket option is your call, it may help you to choose if you read the requirements that you must meet to be a visitor. Being married to a Canadian does not give you automatic residency in Canada, you need to complete the immigration process - for married folk, spousal sponsorship is what...

Joe, I didn't think that I said that there would be an automatic search of a suitcase, (the conversation was about shipping) The OP asked "ship over a certain amount of possessions (say 4-6 sq m worth)", would you think that is the normal amount stuff a visitor would need for a six month stay...

One way ticket, hmm,... remember on a visit you must (taken from CIC site): have a valid travel document, such as a passport, be in good health, satisfy an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, home and family, that will take you back to your country of origin, satisfy an...

As far as I know six months is the maximum you would be allowed in one stay. If you enter Canada and are allowed to stay for six months, you can request an extension to your visa, the cost is $75 for the extension. More information here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend-stay.asp How...

Your "baggage" should look like it is sufficient for the duration of visit you are making :) Too little and the red flag goes up, too much, they do the same. Why not get married when you get here, then you and your wife can apply for PR right away?

Good luck with the interview.

The CIC site information for Application to sponsor a member of the family class is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp The guide is here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp If your wife is a Canadian citizen she can...

Have you read the information on the CIC website? In Principle a wife can sponsor a spouse, but you will need to give a bit more detail. Have you applied and been refused, it is a bit unclear?

I don't think it will be a problem, once they open the envelope.

I paid online (yes you have to register), then I printed the receipt. All the documents and forms will go to Vegreville by courier tomorrow. Then it is fingers crossed :)

Hearsay only.... coming in with your partner should be easier, because they can see the person, rather than listening to a voice on the phone. Another random thought, most people should be able to "see" that you are crazy about each other - if you know what I mean :) Just remember, don't...
