This was originally the plan, but she did not want to wait much longer to live together. I won't be finishing school until December 2017 so I don't really have any option to move to Canada any earlier. After doing research it does seem that staying for 1 year is unlikely and would be a lot of...

I'm an American and have a Canadian girlfriend. I have visited her twice in Canada both for a time period of one month. She has visited me three times in the United States with varying duration (couple weeks upwards to one month). From my experience, they will ask you a lot of questions at...

This seems to be the best case scenario, however we are still both young and I don't think I am ready for marriage as of right now. This would most likely only happen this early if all other methods fail. Worst case scenario, she can't stay with me for one year and will only be allowed the 6...

Greetings, I'm not sure where to find more information about this or what the best place to ask questions are, so I hope posting here is okay. Anyways, long story short - I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada and I live in the United States. We have been dating for two years and I will be...

How would my Canadian girlfriend visit the United States for 1 year and live with me to meet the requirements for common-law? She lives in Alberta, Canada. I'm assuming she can just come visit for 6 months being visa exempt and then extend her stay for another 6 months. How does this process...

I've been doing some research and some articles say that Canadians can only visit the US for 6 months per year, however it is not per calendar year (doesn't reset Jan. 1st). They say that it resets 182 days after your last visit to the US, is this true? My girlfriend plans on visiting me next...

Can you clarify what you mean by they gave you 6 months? I thought you have to write on that form you receive on the plane how long you are staying for. Can you actually stay longer than what you write on the form?

Is there any specific reason she should provide the officers? I know when I went to visit her in Canada for 1 month they were asking me a lot of questions. They specifically said one month was a long time and then started asking about what I did at home.. which was go to school, work for my dad...

We would like to try to establish common-law partnership before I go up there through the SWAP program. She doesn't want to stay apart any longer (we have been dating a year and a half) and it will be easier to apply for spousal sponsorship while I'm up there if we already have common-law...

My girlfriend and I are trying to complete the 1 year requirement of living together to be considered common-law partners. She is a Canadian resident and I live here in America. I'm not 100% sure what the whole process is of her being capable of living here. Please correct me here if I am wrong...

Okay, but would losing my job be worth it? Since if I am a visitor I won't be allowed to work during my stay, unless there is another type of work visa I would be eligible for once my working holiday visa expires? I did some minor research and saw that a Computer System Analyst falls under an...

I will be applying for a working holiday visa through the SWAP program and I will be living with my girlfriend during my 1 year stay. I was just wondering after the 1 year is over would it be better for me to apply inland or outland. I understand that outland has faster processing times, but I...

I plan to live and work in Canada through the SWAP program that will allow me to stay there for 1 year. I have a girlfriend that lives in Canada that I will be residing with for the 1 year that I am visiting. Would I be able to stay in Canada after my 1 year is over if I apply for the outland...

First of all, I would like to mention I am in a very similar scenario as you. I plan on living in Canada with my girlfriend (lives in Alberta) after I graduate at the end of 2017. We have known each other for 3 years and have been dating for a year and a half. I actually was thinking about doing...

I haven't heard of this SWAP visa. I will definitely look into that. The plan was for me to finish college before anything was done and she would move down to America with me until I pay off my debt.

I'm going to briefly introduce my scenario and hopefully you guys can help me understand what needs to be done to become a Canadian permanent resident. To start things off, I will provide some basic information about myself. - I am 21 years old. - I am attending college to obtain a Bachelors...

After reading some other discussions, it seems that the best route without getting married and without a work visa would be for the Outland Spousal Sponsorship. Since I'm still in school until December 2017 and I have a pretty decent job whereas she just works at a gas station and coaches...

Ah, thanks for the information. That was another question I had is if she could come here for 6 months and then I go there for 6 months. Also, is there any allotted time that allows us to not be together for travel purposes, etc? For instance she is here for 6 months and I don't go to Canada...

I'm looking at the eligibility of sponsoring a spouse/partner on the cic website. In regards to my current situation, would she be able to live with me for as long as possible (I believe it is restricted to 6 months a year with a Visa) and if she gets denied extended stay (which I don't know if...

I am interested in immigrating to Canada in two years after I graduate college. I have a girlfriend that currently resides in Edmonton, Alberta and we have been dating for a year and a half. I have known her for three years. I have visited Canada twice in the last year for a total of 60 days and...
