Hello,
I have met an American online and we have fallen in love and wish for her to come to Canada so we can get married and start a life together. Every moment being apart hurts and we want to know the quickest way that we can be together.
I purchased a plane ticket for her to come stay with me, and we were going to get married very soon, but she was turned away in Vancouver by a customs officer because she did not have a return ticket and because she told him that she planned on moving up here with me.
From what I am reading, the quickest way we can be together would be to:
1) purchase a return plane ticket which would allow her to stay for up to 6 months
2) get married which would allow me to be a sponsor for her to get permanent residency
My questions are -
1) Am I correct with the two steps above?
2)Can she legally stay with me longer than 6 months if it takes longer than this for our application to be processed?
3)What are the success rates for these applications, if the couple was married in Canada?
4)How much will it cost ? (I cannot afford a lawyer)
5)Is it true that my income will not be considered for the sponsorship if we were married in Canada?
Has anyone here done this exact same thing or something similar? Thank you in advance for answering my questions...
