To extend your stay as a visitor you need to show them you can support yourself during your stay here, sending them proofs such as bank statements, or like I did the first time I applied, a screenshot of your funds available in your credit card/prepaid card if you have one. If your parents are...

Did they tell you the reason/s why your application was denied?

I come from a visa exempt country too... I've been really lucky at the airport I find cause they didn't ask a lot of questions, especially not this one. Same thing as your bf: I came here to meet my boyfriend for the first time and to live with him, that's what I told the customs and they simply...

Hi everybody! I come back again for a couple of questions this time. Who read my previous topic knows I had to ask my parents to write a letter to include in my Visitor Extension application, explaining they're gonna pay my expenses in Canada cause my partner has been laid off work and can't...

Alright... thanks for all :)

You can bring in something like 200 cigarettes (basically a carton), 200 g of tobacco or 50 cigars and ONE Litre alcoholic beverage. If you bring more than this amount you have to declare it. You can bring up to 20 kg of cheese per person, but the value has to be equal or less than 20$.

Good, then I'll go with those two. I have a prepaid credit card that my parents charge from Italy every time I need money, I could take a screenshot of the funds available on it too, like I did last year for my first extension. Just another question: on the new application, under "Your current...

From my experience, I know that you can ask for as many extensions as you wish, as soon as you can prove you can support yourself (or somebody else is, like your parents or if you have a partner who's working and paying for your expenses here) and that your intention is still to stay here...

The thing is they can do random checks anyways but if you don't have anything to hide or illigal then clothes aren't a problem... just tell them that you're not sure about how's the climate here so you brought many clothes just to make sure you won't feel cold outside or too warm when you're...

I will never forget when I clashed against the glass door at the exit, after the checked my passport the second time, because I couldn't even carry my bags on the cart :D everybody was avoiding me and switching line to get the hell far from me... I wonder why.... ::)

Congrats! :) It's always good to read that "APPROVED" message when you open your CIC account and you look for an updated application status :) I wish I read this before... I went through the same things twice... I'm not married yet, neither was I common-law at the time, and they never refused...

Lol, an year ago I brought with me my entire wardrobe, all my shoes, perfumes, and pretty much all I had in my bedroom in 2 overweight bags + my old schoolbag with my laptop and candies + another little trolley with socks and underwear and nobody said anything about it! They probably just...

Thanks for the information! Sorry if I was absent for a few days. Anyways, I haven't submitted any application for PR yet (can't afford to pay the huge fee for now :( ) so I assume from what you wrote, that I can't apply for any work visa whatsoever unless I already applied for PR. Did I get it...

Oh there you go! I've always thought they would send you here with a job already so the possibility of you working and supporting yourslef was pretty much guaranteed! In a few words, if you're not lucky enough, you're basically screwed! :o Just thinking about me coming to this little town I...

Well then, this might change a lot of things... by January he'll probably have gotten a new job, or /and all the money that has been taken from him from his old job, which will give us quite a bit of money to show under the "funds available" section. Actually there was somebody who was talking...

I haven't looked for a job cause I can't do it unfortunately... i'm on a tourist visa since last year, and tourists of course can't work, neither look for a job. Before coming here I tried to apply for a work permit hoping i could work too to help him get by, but the results of the test on the...

Oh well, that might change everything! The thing is I've ever done that a month before cause usually it takes CIC from 2 to 3 weeks to process my file, so I wanna make sure I receive the visa on time and be prepared to go home if they deny it. If I apply on January, what's gonna happen if I...

Hi everyone! I always come back to ask something before I extend my stay! ??? This would be the 3rd time I have to ask for a Tourist Extension, and I know you can apply as many time as you want as soon as you have sufficient funds available, but this time it's more complicated. I'm here since...

Hey thanks so much! To all you guys :) I really hope everything will turn out being good. We really don't want to be separated again.

There we go! That's exactly what I wanted to know :) the number comes from doing that calculation... that's what I needed. I guess I solved the problem then: my boyfriend is writing a letter declaring he's supporting me and I'm his dependant, he got a copy of the paystubs from the accountant...
