I'm sorry, I mis spoke. I was thinking about an Intra Company Transfer. My fault.

Tried that to with my immigration attorney. He said I don't qualify even having a Bachelor's in Computer Science. He said NAFTA is reserved for folks with "special skills" beyond a degree, like being and executive in a company.

Wow...really? Just..so simple huh...just stop working illegally. Well...if you know how to work legally without a OWP please shed some light, or how to pay the rent, or take care of all the other domestic duties one has to manage without it...Look dude..we want to be law abiding citizens like...

OK..I apologise if I sound harsh as well, but I mean this affectionately.... Did you not read what I wrote? We have played by the book since she came here since 2008...We have played by the book....Until 2012 when she had no other choice...No one is going to hire a woman who is three months...

First, let me say I really appreciate your honest and needed comments. What I'm about to say is not directed at you personally. Ummm...I'm not trying to risk anything. Me and my Fiancee have been playing by the book ever since she got here, and she ended up getting _ucked in the process Because...

UPDATE!!!!!!!! OK....here is an update to my situation. I have finally moved to Scarborough. I am living with my fiancee and my 1 1/2 year old son. My Fiancee's situation has changed somewhat. We are waiting for her renewed OWP to come so she can find a legal job. Her OWP situation turned out...

Thanks everyone who has posted to my issues. I really appreciate the information. I may have a couple of questions later after I come to Toronto.

So I'm assuming after a while of looking for work you gave up as a visitor? I plan on quitting my job this week and coming to Toronto to live with my fiancee, because she need my help. She is currently half way through her clinicals now and coming to help her finish so she can get a full time...

So if you have been there since 2011, how are you supporting yourself without a work permit or LMO? And are the people you know that had success with convincing a company to get an LMO are still working?

I thought I wasn't allowed to work if I'm a visitor in Canada. So if I find an employer how do I get a SIN #? And when it comes time to renew my visitor status, is it ok to tell CIC I have employment if I have a job? I would like to find one.

I'm still working for Magna presently...

I tried to get what is called a "Intra company tranfer" which means I could transfer from a Magna in the U.S to one in Canada. (Magna is from Canada). I had an idea- where I called Manpower in Canada to see which companies they were sending there employees to work at, and a lot of companies...

How long is the visitor record valid for?

Well, the barrier seems to be the border patrol every time I come into Canada. They want to know when I'm leaving to come back to U.S. I want to stay until she gets her PR, but we can only estimate how long that would be, but it would be more than the six months I'm allowed to stay as a U.S...

Let me clarify again... I didn't mean to imply that we have lived together. I meant we have been bf/gf for six years. After she came to Canada in 2008, I just come to visit. Now, as of Nov 2012, we have an apartment together, meaning we both signed the lease. I still work in U.S and come to...

To clarify.... I have been with her since Feb. 2006, before she came to Canada, so to me she is common law, but for immigration it may be conjugal. At any rate, I was was told that her PR processing time would be delayed even further if a status of married or conjugal status was included in the...

I am a U.S citizen. I have a common law wife of 6 years that lives in Scarborough ON. She came to Canada as a Live-in caregiver. We have a 15 month old son born in Toronto that lives with her as well. We have a new apartment there as well with both of our names on the lease. (the apartment...
