The budget comes up for a vote today (not sure what time). Liberals and NDP against, Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois for. It should pass, but keep everything crossed. We could lose our fee reduction if it doesn't. And citizens could be back to the polls again.

I have to say that this statement may be a bit misleading. They can refuse to let your wife come into Canada if they suspect that she is not being truthful with them at the border. They can refuse her entry if they believe that she will overstay her legal time in Canada without filing an...

Yes, you can apply for permanent residency when you are out of status. There was a change in the rules in Feb. 2005 that allows this. However, you must get back into status at the earliest possible time. That would mean that when you receive AIP (approval in process), which would be 6-7 months...

According to what I've been told, you would be at risk, but not necessarily high on the list of priorities for being kicked out. Supposedly, if you get your application in before Border Services gets to you, you should be safe unless you've committed some other kind of offense. Is there any...

Also, please be careful working odd jobs that pay cash. We can't legally work here until we get our WP (work permit), and under the table work could be construed to go against that. I know you're trying to save up to apply, but everyone I've talked to has advised not to do that. Better to be...

Sorry.... At this point, no, you're not here legally. As a US citizen, you could stay up to 6 months, then you would have to leave the country or apply for an extension of your visitor status. You could apply for restoration of your status if it had been less than 90 days since your 6 months...

I was told by Fido (don't know how much of Canada they cover) that they required a SIN number for a contract. I don't know whether they would have an issue with a temporary number starting with 9. I have a prepaid phone with them.

I have tried to find definite answers on this question, but failed. I hope to find clarity here. The FBI clearance is a definite necessity for US citizens. Is that right? How about the state clearances? Are they required? Or should I wait and see if they are requested? Thanks!

I have to cross the border to renew my status in Canada, and my application (in-Canada spouse) may be in by then. I won't have any proof that I have applied yet. How should I present my situation to the officials? Also, is this the best alternative if I have been out of status longer than 90...
