That's great. So I think we'll have everything filled out and paid for as well when we're entering back into Canada. Do you think it would be better to get the border agent to change her status as a visitor? Or should we send in an application for that so she gets the implied status while it's...

Ah, makes sense. So if we pay the fees early though, should we put it under her new name or her current one? Either way, it would have to match what's on the receipt, correct?

Thanks amikety! We've decided that she is going to take my surname right away as soon as we're married, it's very important to her. So here's what I'm thinking we'll do, can anyone foresee any issues with this plan? 1) Get married on April 26th in US 2) Come back into Canada on May 7th (her...

Hmm, interesting! What do you mean by hookup?

Hi again everyone! We're in the process of getting the forms all filled out, but I have another question in the meantime! Once we've sent in her application for PR, is it possible for her to get a temporary work permit? Has anyone successfully done so here?

You all are seriously the best, I really appreciate all your help! :)

We get married on April 26, her status in Canada is up on May 13, and we are re-entering Canada on May 6. Should we send our status extension application after we are married but before her status is up?

I will almost certainly be here back and forth for the next while :P I am looking at the CIC page for applying to change conditions as a visitor and it's a little confusing. At the top of the page there's this notice: But at the bottom of the page, it says to send it to the Vegreville office...

Yeah, talk about confusing! I'm feeling much better about all this now though, it's nice to have a sort of step-by-step to follow—makes it a little less intimidating... A little less... haha... :-\

Awesome, thanks for being so helpful! :) One more question, if we apply outland, do the forms need to be sent from outside of Canada?

Thank you so much for your replies! So what you're saying is that she should apply to have her status changed before her work permit expires, and have all the PR forms filled out and ready to go, and then go get married in the US, and as soon as we're married, send off the PR application? And...

Hopeful bump...

Hi all, hoping I can find out the best method of doing this... Our case: 1) I am a Canadian citizen marrying my fiancé, who is a US citizen, in April, in the US 2) She is currently living in Canada with me since May 2012 with an open work permit good until May 2013 3) She was denied an...

Anyone?

Hey everyone. So my girlfriend will be entering Canada in May on a 1 year open work permit with intention to live with me during that time. We will be driving across the border with her vehicle and some personal effects like clothes, etc. but will be shipping some of her household goods at a...
