Hi all,
Great site, great resource and I look forward to perusing some of the other sections of the forum too. In the meantime though, I was wondering if I could bounce a couple of thoughts off you as the CIC website is at times a little confusing and I am seeking to understand where I stand in relation to my chances of becoming a permanent resident, and which visa I might choose to apply for.
- I'm 28, Male, from Australia
- Have been living in Canada for 2 months on an IEC temporary visa (ends next year)
- Have a Canadian citizen girlfriend (common-law partner) who I have lived with in Australia and NZ
- We have kept a lot of information pertaining to living together
- Line of work is professional (non-degree) but not listed as a special skill under the skilled migrant visas
- Girlfriend is a student and part time worker, fairly low income
- Province is AB
- I have plenty of money to support myself and the ability to get work, it's just the visa side of things I'm concerned about
I wish to apply for a permanent residency before my IEC expires, so I can continue to be with my girlfriend in Canada and am wondering the best channel to go through and what is possible and what isn't.
Appreciate your assistance.
