Unfortunately no, I have resigned in order to travel - but I have a few university degrees and diplomas so getting employment is easy. I can mention that I am waiting for my IEC visa to be approved. Hopefully a return ticket and letter from my fiance (who has excellent employment) that he can...

Thanks, I will have a return ticket, and only one suitcase. As for fees, I'm not submitting my application until 2 months after I arrive in Canada. Do you think it's too early to pay fees? I also don't have property or an apartment, but I live in my parent's house. What do you recommend I bring...

MiriamT, what a terrible experience for you! I'm glad you were able to get through eventually.

Based on other people's advice, I would definitely buy a refundable return ticket, just in case! Good luck!

Were you asked to show proof of your ties in a secondary interview? I have a feeling it will probably be best that I have a return ticket for a few months after I arrive, to prove I 'm going back. I hope they will at least give me a visitor record for a shorter time stay, rather than the whole...

Was your wife upfront about her intentions to marry when she arrived? It's reassuring to know other people have successfully arrived and married in Canada! When they ask the purpose of my visit, I will say "to visit my fiance and have my wedding". I don't think I can leave out the marriage...

So when you arrived in Canada, did you say you were there to get married? And thanks for the link to the facebook group!

Thanks for the advice everyone, much appreciated. I have watched the TV program, border security, so I know what happens to people who lie. I won't be arriving with more than 2 small suitcases, no goodbye letter etc. And I will have a return ticket as my future husband and I want to come to Oz...

Thanks so much! It's reassuring to hear other people's experience. I will have to say I am there to visit my fiance for my wedding as I will have a wedding dress in my luggage. We are having a proper wedding, so I have but no option to travel with my dress. I'll think about paying the fees...

Hi everyone I'm an Australian getting married to a Canadian citizen in August. Like others, I have the same concerns about arriving as a visitor to get married and then apply for PR. I intend to tell border officials the true purpose of my visit and I will emphasise that I am just visiting...

I'm in the same position as you, lauralee. I'm going to Canada in July to marry my Canadian fiance (but applying outland) We did quite a bit of research before we found insurance. We are buying 12 months of TIC Inpatriate health insurance. They cover 80% of maternity benefits (if the due date...

Does anyone have any advice re questions in my previous post? I realise it's an uncertain situation for anyone presenting at the border in my position. Would be grateful to hear other people's experiences.

Could someone assist me with the questions below? I'm sorry if I have hijacked this thread from the original author. 1. Would a return ticket to leave 5 months after arriving in Canada be suspicious to border officials? 2. I plan to purchase a separate return ticket to my one way ticket (if...

Hi MrScarface, did you find out any other information in regards to your question? I am also getting married in Canada this year, very soon in August, and then applying for PR. I am quite concerned about what boarder officers will ask me when I arrive in July! I will hopefully have a working...
