Leon has mentioned multiple times in this forum, correcting people stating otherwise, that I would be able to apply for common-law under his work visa. I just want to know if I could do that while applying for a work visa myself or the skilled worker program.

Is a person allowed to have multiple applications going on at once? I am hoping to be able to visit my boyfriend for 6 months, then an additional 2 months while waiting for an extension, equaling 8 months of living together to finish the 12 months(already had 4 months in USA) of living together...

Ok, but what if I am from the USA? I was under the impression that I would need to get a medical exam, background check, etc. and those cost money I thought? My boyfriend just obtained his LMO and his employer went through "Montreal International." I am wondering if anyone knows what that...

I would like to visit my boyfriend for 6 months(he is there on a work visa), then apply for an extension for 2 months while I'm looking for a work visa in Canada. Of course, if I was honest about this to the officers, they would not let me in probably at all. But if I say that I would like to...

Hi there, I am just wondering how much it costs in fees to try to obtain an LMO/work visa for an employer. I want to be able to pay for the fees myself so an employer would be more likely to help me with applying for the LMO, but I want to know how much it costs because I hear there are...

Hi there, I am just wondering if there is an official list anywhere of the qualifying educational institutions in Quebec for applying for an international student visa? The school I am interested in is brand new and won't even have it's first class until January. Does the list of qualified...

Great - thank you so much. :) If you don't mind, I do have another question: If I were to find an employer who is willing to help me obtain a work visa while I am "visiting," would I have to leave the USA to apply for the work visa and then if my work visa would be rejected, be out of luck...

Thank you Leon. I am wondering though, would I not be able to apply for an open work permit after being considered "common-law" because he is here on a temporary visa? Someone in the other forum said that we could not take this route because he is not a PR or Canadian citizen.

Hi, I posted this in the Family-Sponsorship area, but they said I might have better luck asking my questions here. My boyfriend of 4 years(US citizen)(but only living together for 4 months) is moving to Montreal with a Temporary Work Visa(2+ years I believe). I am wondering what my options...

My boyfriend of 4 years(US citizen)(but only living together for 4 months) is moving to Montreal with a Temporary Work Visa(2+ years I believe). I am wondering what my options are to move to Montreal and stay with him. I am a US citizen as well. Should I try to visit for 6 months and then...

Thank you SFD. Do you know about how much I can expect to pay for fees? just a guesstimate? I want to know if I should even consider the option of having a lawyer represent me and handle the process.

Hi, the whole process of trying to move to Montreal, QC, is so confusing and frustrating. I can't sleep at night because I lay awake worrying about what I should be applying for, if I don't get approved, if I should have applied for something else instead, etc. I am wondering if anyone knows...

If I were to find an employer in Canada that would be willing to help me apply for a work visa and if the work visa were to be denied/rejected, how long would I have to wait before I could re-apply for a different work visa with a different employer or the same employer? I suppose I have the...

Thank you for the replies. I am now thinking I could visit for 5-6 months and if I am find an employer who is willing to help me get a work visa, would I be able to just go back to the USA while the work visa is being submitted and processed and then return once I have obtained the work visa...

I am currently living in the USA and would like to move to Montreal. I am hoping I can visit for 5-6 months and look for a job. However I am wondering if it looks bad if I obtain a work visa when I am visiting? Would that send any kind of a flag and get me kicked out of the country? It seems...

My boyfriend of 4 years and I are both US citizens. He recently got his dream job in Montreal and will be moving there in about a month(as soon as he gets his work visa). After reading many many posts in this forum, I am starting to get really doubtful about my chances of living with him...
