Hi,
I have quite a big issue to deal with.
I arrived in Quebec with a 1 year student visa. Before I could find a place of my own I was hosted by a girl who became my girlfriend. Then my visa came to an end, with no more money, no job found (at that time you could only extend to a working permit if you found a job related to your studies + the whole immigration process for the company, I sent dozens of resumes and gave phone calls everywhere but mission impossible in my time frame) and a girlfriend I didn't want to be separated from.
She couldn't sponsor me because it was a huge load of money and she was only a student herself. I was broke so I couldn't give her that money or even try anything else.
It's now been 8 years since my arrival, 7 years as an illegal alien, my girlfriend dumbed me 2 years ago and I always had about just enough money to eat and pay the rent.
So now that you know everything, hoping you won't judge to harshly me because I did my best in a very complicated situation, do you know anything I can do ? Is there a procedure for people like me who were there for so long ?
Thanks for your help and understanding.
