Hello,
Perhaps I'm worried over nothing, but I figured it doesnt hurt to ask here
I'll be flying to Europe this coming June to meet with my girlfriend, spend my vacation there and then both of us coming back to Canada together. I am a Canadian citizen, she is Polish (has a bio metric passport). I've been to Europe a few times visiting, now we figured it would be time for her to come visit. She has never been to Canada. I've read pretty much all I could find on the requirements for her to enter the country. As a holder of a biometric passport she is allowed to stay in Canada for up to 6 months and does not require a visitor's visa. So I booked the flight to Canada and a return one to Warsaw in early November - total stay in Canada will be under 5 months. She will be staying with me, she will be returning back as she has her parents and her brother there. She does not have a criminal record or any illnesses. Now, whats bothering me is that theoretically (I think) all bases are covered, but nonetheless I am worried that the border agent might refuse her entry or ask her to leave earlier than her return flight is. Mainly I'm worried that the 5mo stay time might seem suspicious, which might sound silly since maximum of 6mo is allowed.
Anyways, does anyone have any similar experience or any insights into this?
Thank you!
