    Digital Photo Requirement for Visitor Extension - Cell phone photo okay?

    That's fantastic haha, I was wondering what happened after your last response! Hopefully you guys have AC, some co-workers out there are (at this very moment) complaining about the insane heat! We get your weather within 4-5 days after you out here in Ontario, I'm not looking forward to it...

"CANADA IMMIGRATION: DIGITAL PHOTO REQUIREMENT" and it scared the heck out of me! Good to know that they accepted based...

    Digital Photo Requirement for Visitor Extension - Cell phone photo okay?

    Haven't found an answer, let alone this question being asked yet: When applying for a visitor extension as a US Citizen to stay longer in Canada it requires a "digital photo" can this just be a headshot from my camera against a white wall, good lighting, looking ahead, etc.. or must it be from...

    Best way to proceed: Extend my girlfriend's visitor status beyond 6 mo

    I guess now the only concern I have is that it's more than 6 months away, when applying I know that there is a "are you applying for 6 months or more than 6 months option" and I think that's because when you're not from America you have to have some sort of health exam or something but because...

    Best way to proceed: Extend my girlfriend's visitor status beyond 6 mo

    Thank you, and your apparent authority on the subject oozes confidence to me, so I appreciate the hell out of it! I guess I have been reading way too much about every option out there and have certainly confused the two applications. My confusion still comes from: If I say, "I want to...

    Best way to proceed: Extend my girlfriend's visitor status beyond 6 mo

    See, here is the conflicting information again! I read through countless threads on this forum and reddit where people say, "ADD NOTHING" and others, "EXPLAIN EVERYTHING" uh yi yi. As I said above, my original plan was, "We want to stay together for a year, then apply for common-law...

    Best way to proceed: Extend my girlfriend's visitor status beyond 6 mo

    Thank you again! To be clear, the travel is dependant on pandemic/border closures easing. We are not planning on "vacationing" so much as taking road trips with stops at gas stations and sleeping in the vehicle as we have in the past. I understand your point about Canada not encouraging...

    Best way to proceed: Extend my girlfriend's visitor status beyond 6 mo

    Thanks for your feedback! As for the PSW side of things, I see what you are saying. It's tricky, in order to visit the first time from America she had to fill out paperwork to get access to travel here, on there she mentioned, "My boyfriend has moved into a new place, and I want to help him...

    I found the search function after writing this, I see that this has been a common question over the years. I found a lot of useful - albeit conflicting - advice, so I will leave it as this: Based on my description above, does anyone have any helpful advice for us? With my girlfriend visiting...
