I find it really frustrating that the immigration website makes the 30-day thing look so set in stone.

Sorry for another question. Do you know when the extension starts? If I apply on December 30th and get the extension confirmed on February 30th, which one of those would my six months (or whatever) start from?

This is all so confusing. Originally I approached a few lawyers with the idea of asking for a year instead of six months, and it was them who told me it would be best to apply for two years and hope for either that length or a little shorter. A year would be fine, tbh; I'd love to be here for...

Hmm. You think the lawyers who said it was possible are just trying to feather their nests?

Oh, sorry. i guess I got the visa waiver thing for six months

Hey all, So, I'm currently living in Canada on the six month visitor visa. It will end on January 1st. I work as a freelancer from home, but since I don't work with any Canadian companies this is all good and I don't need a working visa. I've heard that you can extend the visa another six...

Thanks :)

Hi guys, I just wanted to check this out to see if I'm okay. Renting a small apartment in whistler for the ski season, and I shouldn't need a specific visa since I'm from the UK. I work remotely using the internet. According to the Canadian Government: "long distance (by telephone or...
