Thanks for the help I think we just found an apartment that we can afford to move into right away in the states-side so we'll probably be taking that option that once I'm out, I'm out and I won't try and come back and forth until I have various proors of ties to the states along with possibly...

It's not just that. We're financially burdened now to the point that we need to BOTH have income not just my wife. I can't do that if I'm out status even if my application is submitted Outland from what I've read here. I basically now don't even have the money for the application. Which is...

The wife and I have decided that we have run out of options and that submitting our Spousal application while I am Overstayed is too much of a risk to take without the financial help an Open Work Permit would allow us. We have decided to go to the bordertown of Massena NY since her family is...

I usually have no problem crossing, problem usually is that I cross with Natives since my family-in-law is from a resservation near a border. Problem is when that happens they look at my passport, don't ask questions and don't say anything but "have a good day" and they don't stamp on it either...

Working on application right now. Considering many things including hiring a lawyer perhaps. I just need the info to do it right as I seem to be getting mixed things from different sources. "Lie on your 10yr history", "Don't lie anywhere", "Out of Status is difficult but it won't matter"...

Well I guess that I'm not doing it hahaha ;D I mean there's no record of me ever being anywhere in these places, there's no paper work, no punch-in, no SIN or anything literally, so poof! Because I'm really not down to get scrutinized over "working" in Canada when we've been starving for yrs...

No, I'm not preventing anybody from a job since it's not in the same kitchens and it's never in the same place twice. If we hear down the vine an event is going down with a chef we respect and it has a shortage of hands that will not be met by that night (i.e. from today to tomorrow, from now...

So my question is, in regards to the 'history' that I have to provide. I've been in Canada obviously longer than I've been allowed a couple of times by a few months. What should I state? I haven't had work while living here, I keep learning my trade through non-profit very casual volunteer work...

Ok so I have a very similar situation, the last time I went to the States was Nov. last year (2015) and my passport was NOT stamped at Toronto airport upon my entry. I had previously crossed the border around nov. 2011 to regain status and that time I was not asked any questions or my passport...

QuebecOakie I would love those links! I don't speak French, but the wife and I want to learn :)

Wow thank you so much Canuck_in_UK you have taken a huge weight off our shoulders! :D Have a good night!

Thank you so much again QuebecOkie! I will actually start filling the outland now since it seems more beneficial. I'll see if I can find more information on overstaying but overall I feel pretty confident about the process now. Have a good night!

Thank you so much for all the information!! I definetly have the dates down somewhere. If the dates are so important, are they going to notice I overstayed and will that affect my application? I mean, if honesty is of any value, we left Canada as soon as I realized I had misinterpreted the...

Hello, I'm a US citizen that got married to a Canadian citizen a year and a half ago. Long story short, I came to Canada in 2012 from the US in to visit 3/10/12 I got granted a Visitor's Record until 30/11/12 since I could not prove ties to go back to the US. Because of a misunderstanding I...

I believe that her employer would be nice enough to do such a thing, if not her family certainly will! :) Thanks for all the help, it's put me tons at ease from how I was before posting this message. Granted I'm still slightly unsure of how it will go when crossing the border again, but I'm...

Sounds good! Just to make it clear, her having dual citizenship to your understanding, she'd be able to come move/work with me to the US while this is being processed and still be my sponsor with no problem as long as she makes it clear she intends to move back when my documents are cleared, right?

Thanks for the prompt response MilesAway! At this point we are considering just moving to the U.S. (since she has dual citizenship and it'd be easier for her to make the transition) where we would apply out-land and I'd be able to work since I've heard the fees mount up. Once approved to stage...

Hello guys, I came to Canada 13/10/12 and was given a visitor's record my "valid until date" is 30/11/12 for some reason since I couldn't "prove ties" to the US (was unemployed at the moment living with relatives). The border officer was nice however and explained that I should call a 1-888...
