How often does this occur? How important is a stamp in your passport when you enter Canada on a TRV? What should be done about it, if anything if they did not stamp your passport? How, when, where? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Jets I appreciate it. So far she hasn't traveled to a country requiring a visa. Yes the option is always there to go to her country to marry, but I would much prefer not to (perhaps a second marriage in the future). Today after finding out some more info from my fiancee I...

I'm still hoping someone can reply to my post. We would like to submit an application but want to use the method that would maximize our chances for success. Could anyone give my their opinion who has experience with this? For example: 1. 30% chance of success 2. 60% chance of success 3. 70%...

Thanks bellaluna for all your answers! They were really helpful to me. :)

Thanks bellaluna for helping out! Just a few followup questions... Just to be clear, let's break this down into three options: 1. Online (mostly) 2. Mailed application 3. In person application 1. How are biometrics submitted if you do an online application? Do you appear in person later? 2...

I hope someone can help with these questions. :) I understand that applying online is generally faster than applying by regular mail. Are there any downsides to applying online and if so, what are they? Form 5257e: Languages: 1b. Are you able to communicate in Eng. and/or French? (Eng...

I know honesty is usually the best recommended strategy to use when applying for a TRV, but I also know that people in my situation are more than likely to be turned down when their partner applies for a TRV if they are completely honest. I will give you the details of our situation and then...

OK, thanks! :)

Jalex many of my questions here are posed, not because they pertain to my personal situation, but simply because I am a very curious person. I can think of many situations where CIC would not be able to tell if you left the country.

Thanks scylla. I was surprised when I found out a few years ago that Canada doesn't have exit controls. I didn't know that CBSA uses the flight manifests. Do you know this for a fact? Has access and uses are two different things. "In practice though, doesn't her status reset when she tries to...

In practice though, doesn't her status reset when she tries to enter the country again? Canada has no way of knowing when she leaves the country and therefore can't reset her status at that time.

OK thanks Jalex. So if you come back a week or two before the expiry date, you could be given a six month duration of stay (which is common)?

Thanks very much for that canuck_in_uk. I wasn't aware of that distinction.

OK great, that's very important for me to know.

I have one more question about this. Will the time the visitor applies to extend their visa have any bearing on a possible positive outcome? Let's take a look at two examples: 1. A visitor applies to extend their TRV before they intend to get married. 2. A visitor gets married, has their...

OK thanks very much for that!

Thanks Kriv that was helpful. I have a related question about extending a visitor visa. If one month prior to expiration of your visitor visa you get married to a Canadian, must you apply for an extension for your visitor visa or does your spouse's new spousal sponsorship application allow you...

For MEV's, does it mean that you can enter Canada any number of times between the two dates given, or does it mean that you can enter Canada any number of times but you must be out of Canada by the second date? If it's the former, and you can come back to Canada say, one day before the second...

Did it ever occur to you that some people here are simply interested in what happened in the past and nothing more? Just for curiosity sake? I still would like my questions answered.

OK I understand that part. Do you think though that the immigration offices upon receipt of the fiancee sponsorship application would wait with processing the serious obligation parts until after the couple actually married? Did you have to notify the immigration office when you actually...
