Got the worst letter in the mail tonight. My status restoration was refused and it says I have to leave the country immediately. This forum has been a help before in the past I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find information on how long I need to be out of the country before I can...

Hello, My partner (from the U.S.) and I are currently gathering all the forms necessary to apply for PR (medical is in a few weeks and we're just waiting on the FBI background check to get back). We have been co-habitating for just about 2 years together consecutively and plan to apply via...

My partner is from the states, specifically Virginia. And we definitely planned to do it outland through Buffalo, although with an impending Canada Post strike it may take a little longer then usual haha.

Hello, I hope someone is able to shed some light to my question :) I checked over the cic website but couldn't find anything concrete. My partner has been living with me for over a year now on a Visitor VISA. In January we mailed away the paperwork necessary to extend her visitors status but...

yeah her status expired (because we were waiting to hear back about the application) so I'll fork out the $200 to have it renewed, there isn't anything else we can besides that. weeeeeeee.

i'll just call. thanks for everything!

well ok then, fun, moving past that. next steps?

no, no we did not. I don't even remember that part being on the form we filled out. Would submitting that in a new application be the answer to this conundrum?

Hello, I'm going to be looking through the cic website but I thought I'd post here as well because you guys have always been such a great wealth of knowledge on any subject I've had questions about. My girlfriend has been staying with me since April of this year, that is when herself and I...

well good luck to you! we won't be applying for PR till later in the year, for now we're just interested in her coming up and spending time with me and then if everything is working out great i'm going to marry her and then we'll send in the PR :)

well it looks like her dad step-dad is going to ship it up to us after she comes up so I guess that makes things simpler, right?

My fiancee and I will be driving over the US border this April and we're hoping customs lets her stay with me for 6 months so we can get married and send in the PR app, etc. She wants to bring a few things over the border with us when we come and one of them is her new iMac computer. Does...

That's fantastic to hear! thank you so much that takes a load of both our minds :)

also if anyone reading this know: how long do the US medical and FBI checks last? I know they expire after a certain time period and I was wondering about that time frame. Cause my fiancee will be with me in Canada for about 6 or 7 months before we get amrried and send in her PR app. I have a...

It definitely isn't infectious :) it's just a pain in an ass. Glad to hear that her need for prescriptions won't impede our application .

Hi there, my fiancee is coming up to visit me at the end of April, in which time we'll probably look at extending her visit so we can marry in the fall and apply for PR. We'll be telling customs that when we drive up together in April. I wanted to ask if anyone here has any knowledge of the...

No worries, thanks for the reply. I'm just most worried that they won't admit her into the country because she won't have a job and her only ties back to America are her family. I've been hearing the most that it depends on the customs agent you speak to and that makes me nervous because neither...

That makes sense from both perspectives. Thank you for being the only person willing to reply to my threads. they always seem to get ignored -____-

So i had a follow up question. When we're flying back to Canada would it be just easier and safer to buy her a return ticket for a couple of weeks later and simply not use it? Does she still get a full 6 month admittance? It seems a little underhanded, but from reading the forums, it appears...

If you can get a round trip ticket for 6 months later that would help assure customs that you're returning. If you didn't have a return ticket you'd have to convince customs that you still have ties to your home country most likely. Essentially they want to make sure that you are not running...
