Baloo I agree that too much is already shared! Some of the questions the Canadian IO asked me last September were way too personal and they were in the notes shared with the US side! Wonderful :o

Recently when my fiance crossed into the US he stated that he was coming to see his girlfriend. The US border official named me before he gave them my name so apparently some things are shared I guess. Even weirder they shared with the US all my crossing info and the US official was able to read...

I am flagged for risk of over stay. I recently crossed at the end of March with my two children and I think I only got across because my partner was with me. This time I am crossing again after being in the US from July to the end of October. I have a job now where as in the past I did not. I...

Perhaps this was a mistake on the CIC? If you filed under married spouse then there should be no conjugal even mentioned in the letter

You can marry in pretty much any country really. You could ask for a visitor record at the border but you do not really need one until she has been here for six continuous months. At that time you could mail to Vegreville for an extension which is safer than crossing and then re crossing to...

Generally the rule of thumb if you are going to talk about the application is to have your spouse with you. Personally we DID not mention our intentions of filing an application and I do believe that if we did I would have gotten the refusal letter. It is much easier to try to get across and...

Baloo there was no paper stating that fact it is just she (the IO)kept saying part of their criteria. It went round and round and round for sure! I was shaking and did not relax until I walked into our home here. The funny thing is that we are both truck drivers and thought the issue would be...

Yes so now we are going to shop to make sure that we are covered so that when we apply for an extension we can show that. I am definitely not leaving unless told to so no flagpoling because it is way to risky. I think that if my fiance was not there I DEFINITELY would have been refused. What is...

I crossed at Sarnia with my children on Wednesday. As some of you may know I had gotten a visitor record in September. In Sarnia I of course was sent to immigration but fiance was with me this time. We tried to think of everything they would come up with and provide an answer a head of time. The...

Jonathan they allow for short breaks apart when applying for common law. Two days is perfectly fine to file on. As for coming back she may not be allowed in based on the fact that she stayed here so long previously and wants to visit again so soon.

I am going to Toronto and living currently in South Dakota. Vancouver is a favorite of ours also!

I would simply state that you are visiting your girlfriend. No need to mention marriage since people come to Canada and decide to get married all the time.

Thanks we are still holding that as a number one option but have no idea how long it takes to get the marriage license etc!

My fiance's former wife gained her PR status before he met her. They dated off and on for 18 years and during that time he said he could add up about two years that they were together yet she maintained her status somehow. Then she finally pushed marriage and he married her only to find out that...

That is why I am not a fan charlie and canadawoman. Makes you wonder how many families "pay" for these marriages just to gain entry into another country. The article says she has been asked to leave by Sunday so we will just have to see what happens to her. The flip side is those brides who...

I saw that! How sad for her. While I am not a fan of these marriages I think that since he went into that commitment he should honor it for her sake. I hope that she is not cast out back in Pakistan. I really felt for her because going through immigration at Pearson is tough enough and then to...

I know others have been approved for sponsorship siting things like self employment or disability. I had a friend who cared for their dying parent the year previous so did not work and just explained that and they were approved with no option C.

Also I start a job next month too but do not have any proof of that other than they can call my soon to be boss?

I will be crossing at Sarnia this week to visit fiance until May 6 to allow for Easter and his birthday. My proof of ties are that I am leaving my car in the US. I have started the enrollment applications for my daughters preschool here in US. I have a contract from her therapist regarding...

Kelkel if you can find that it would be great. I have tried to look but came up empty but do not remember any of their threads! Conjugal is super hard when you are both from visa exempt countries. For that matter sometimes even proving common law can be tough. Don't take it personally that is...
