No one?

Hello, Perhaps I'm worried over nothing, but I figured it doesnt hurt to ask here :) I'll be flying to Europe this coming June to meet with my girlfriend, spend my vacation there and then both of us coming back to Canada together. I am a Canadian citizen, she is Polish (has a bio metric...

Thank you for the clarification. But nonetheless, the PR application, as you said, needs to be filed before the implied status runs out. So what I'm trying to understand is - when is it time to send the PR application? You mentioned that it needs to be done before CIC informs on the decision for...

Gotcha! So then PR application will have to follow almost right after the sponsorship one.

Okay, I see. Basically make sure to apply for PR while the spousal sponsorship papers are being processed (about 15 months)? Thank you very much!

computergeek, Thank you for the tips. Another question, you are saying "make sure you apply for PR before her status expires." - you are talking about the implied status? How long does it last?Also, when is the PR application filed, after the sponsorship one is approved? Thank you!

Hello, This seems like the right place for my question :) Here is my situation: My girlfriend and I want to get married, and I want her to come and live in Canada. I'm a Canadian citizen, she's Polish. We have extensive proof of how genuine our relationship is (emails, photos from our...

So what would you recommend? Stating the visit is for 2 months and then try to extend it once she is granted at least those 2 months? Also, any one willing to share personal experiences are very welcome :) Thanks!

Thanks! Do you know what the agents are looking at? Or what can impact their decision? She will have a return ticket with her, I'll write up and invitation letter for them to read... anything else? Also, return ticket wise. What if the return flight is in 4 months, but they grant only 3? Is that...

Hi everyone, Quick question. My GF is visiting me from Poland, she has a biometric passport. Now, the Gov. website says that the maximum length of stay is 6 months, BUT it will only be determined by the border agents upon entry as to how long she can actually stay. Has any one been through...

Hey, thanks for the tip. Never knew of this. Question: I was looking through the necessary forms, and was wondering what did you select under 'What type of permit are you applying for?'. Also, as I understand it not necessary to have an employer ready to take you in at the time when you submit...

Ah, I thought there's something else.

Please go on.

I think this answers all of my questions, thank you very much everyone! :)

Would she still be considered a tourist at for that time? In other words, cant work or study here? Also, marriage is a big step, but from what I'm hearing its the only way she could stay here? Thanks!

Thanks for such a fast reply! So if I understand this right, it takes about 9 months? Another question, while that time is passing, can she still visit (only as a tourist I suppose)?

Yes, she does have a biometric passport. If I want her to stay, I really doubt that 'common law' option would apply to us, as we haven't been living together. And I understand that conjugal is not really an option either.. Say we were to marry, would it matter where we would to it? And any idea...

What do you mean?

Hey guy, She's Polish. From what we gather she fan visit for up to 3 months without any special visa. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, So I got a little question here, for which I cant seem to find a definite answer. I'm having my girlfriend coming over to visit from overseas, been to Europe together a few times with her (shes from there), but shes never been to Canada. First off, she'll be coming over to visit - no...
