Thanks job_seeker. That's assuming they let me back in though!

Hi all, Hope someone can clarify this for me. I am visiting Canada from the UK (UK citizen, no visa required). My intial visit was due to expire 1st Dec 2010 but I have recently had my visit extension request granted by CIC for another 6 months (up until June 2011). The problem is that...

Ghostfish, I believe that you can remain in Canada if you apply Outland. You may only need to leave for an interview if required. Also, I understand that Outland is much quicker than Inland.

Thanks all, pretty much what I expected... I was also interested to know what other people who have come over for 6 months and stayed longer done with their possessions? joe_f3 - I don't think I would be able to ship the goods using my gf's name, I think there's something about needing to be...

Ok here's one you might be able to help me with. I think I know the answer but would like to see what the knowledgeable people know :) I am flying to Canada in May for 6 months (British citizen, hope they give me the 6 months!), then I will apply for a 6 month extension (yes I know I might not...

Thanks for the response JS. The thread from Poetic was one of the ones I was talking about, and there was one a while back from MissTasha I think who was in a similar position. I plan on being honest and say I am visiting my girlfriend/partner. I guess I'll see how it goes then lol :-\

Funny, I've heard of a few people on here getting into the country or successfully applying for extension by saying they are "exploring relationship", or staying to complete common-law requirements, or just to spend more time with their partner. I am planning on coming over for initial 6 months...

Hi Baloo, I noticed the "before todays date" error too, you're not reading it wrong as it flummoxed me too! It reads as if it's an error, certainly.

Thanks for the info Swede. Much appreciated. Unfortunately it seems that Work Holiday Visas are only for 18-35 year olds, and I am a little over that :/ Isn't it the same for Inland as Outland in respect to giving you no right to stay in the country, or does Inland application give you the...

Hi all, I hope someone can help. I am a British Citizen looking to move to Canada to be with my Canadian girlfriend and I would like to check if my knowledge so far gleaned from various sources is correct and whether I have missed something at all. Knowing me, I probably have! So... I plan to...

Congratulations!!! :) Always nice to hear when things work out for the better.

Thanks job_seeker :) No, I was not this worried, but I have never done the 6 months thing before and I assume they look more closely if you say you are going for 6 months other than 2-3 weeks. Maybe I'm wrong but I would rather be safe than sorry lol Thanks for all your help!!! :)

No idea, my passport was stamped with my arrival date, no other date, and the only other numbers on the stamp were 61 and 701, neither seeming to relate to 6 months. Anyway, getting back on topic, has anyone had to get a letter from their employer stating job availability on return to confirm...

Yes I've had that experience already and to be honest it was fine, but obviously saying 2 weeks and 3 weeks is different than saying 6 months and that is my concern, that they will want me to show I will only be staying for the 6 months by proving I will return home...

Thanks JS, and it was my fault for not being specific about my query! I guess I'll gather some docs just in case and see how it goes. I have visited Canada before, and will be doing so again for 3 weeks in February (my girlfriend is also visiting me for Christmas) so it won't be the first time...

LOL no. I didn't really make my situation clear at the start, my fault! Sorry. So, erm, as a British Citizen wanting to visit my Canadian Citizen girlfriend for 6 months in Canada I don't really need to show ties back to the UK (job, property, etc as mentioned previously)? I am just a little...

Hi again, sorry I probably didn't make it clear. I am a British Citizen so I know that I don't need a Visa, but do I not need to bring supporting paperwork to prove to the Border Control that I can pay my way for 6 months and that I have ties back in the UK to prove that I will return after the...

Thanks Job_Seeker, but I am from England so I don't need to submit anything for a Visa as England is a Visa Exempt country. So I assume I would need to show any papers at the Border Control. I don't understand when you say my papers would be a bit weak, could you clarify? What else would be...

Hi all, Hope someone can help with some advice. I am looking to visit my girlfriend in Canada April time next year for 6 months, and I am aware that I need to prove I have ties which will show I intend to return (a job to return to etc). I am currently the director of my own Limited Company (I...
