Hi everyone! I'm from the states, in Canada now on a visitor visa. Several weeks ago I applied for a study permit inside Canada, and I got my approval letter last week (hooray!). But, now I have to cross the border to actually receive my permit. I was wondering if anyone with experience doing...

Thanks for your reply, I will definitely do this :) I made some phone calls, and I basically got the answers to my questions in my original post. The customer service rep at the FBI said their processing takes several weeks (4-6 I believe), if the fingerprints are sent directly to them. I then...

Hello! :) I'm a U.S. citizen, now in Calgary on a visitor visa, waiting for my study permit before school starts in September. I submitted my study permit application several weeks ago via mail to the Los Angeles CIC office, and I finally got a response today. They're asking for an original...

for anyone curious, i figured this problem out: on the eligibility questionnaire, one field asks you your country of citizenship and one asks you your 'country of residence' i needed to select 'canada' for 'country of residence' for it to send me to the extension dialogues :) yay now i can...

Hello all, sorry for all the questions I've been posting lately, but all of my issues have culminated into a very tricky situation that I am not sure how to work out. As of May 29th, I have TRV / Visitor status here in Canada. I was granted a visitor record upon my entry, stating that I must...

Hi guys, I'm having trouble starting my online application to extend my visitor visa. I understand I need a personal checklist code, but from the "Extend Your Stay" page, clicking the 'Apply Online' link under number 1 sends me to the standard 'determine your eligibility' questionnaire, at the...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I plan on submitting the application today. One problem I'm having — from the "Extend Your Stay" page, clicking the 'Apply Online' link under number 1 sends me to the standard 'determine your eligibility' questionnaire, at the end of which it simply tells me...

Thanks for your response! So to clarify, you're saying I should try to extend my VR since immigration might see my exit/re-entry as flagpoling? I was under the impression that re-entry—even if it's after a short time—wasn't that bad as long as I had all the necessary funds and documents to show...

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and I had a question, just to get some general ideas and opinions about this dilemma I'm facing. The details: I spent about 6 months in canada last year (I didn't overstay). During this time I met my girlfriend. When my visitor visa was getting close to expiring...
