So I have a question. I will coming across in a few weeks to "stay" with my
Fiancée. I will be applying Outland but plan in staying in canada during the process. I am American and he is Canadian. He will be sponsoring me. I plan on this being my last trip across til the paperwork and everything is accepted and I am pr. What do I tell the border? I heard they stamp your passport with a date an u have to leave by then. If I say a few weeks can I apply for an extension before that day is up?
Whatever you do, tell them the truth. If they find you are lying they will be hard to deal with and in the worst case, they could ban you from entering Canada for 2 years. I would tell them you are planning to come up and work on the paperwork with your fiancé. Have a copy of the receipt showing that you paid the application fees. This is good proof that you are serious about going through the proper process. They may stamp your passport, but if they think you will be asking for an extension, they will probably issue a "Visitor Record" which is a piece of paper that goes into your passport. You should have proof that you can support your self during your stay or a letter from your fiancé saying that he will support your during your stay, that you will be staying at his place, etc.
