HELP!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR READING AND REPLYING!

Hi, i have a few questions, but i think to better help you i should explain my situation..
I'm American and arrived in Canada on May 28th 2014 (2nd time here) I got a stamp with the date i entered with no writing on the bottom.
So, i took that as having 6 months to stay, i married my Fiance in September 2014.
My 6 months should have been up Nov. 28th 2014, but i stayed because my husband and i were trying to work out Sponsorship applications.
I know that i am allowed 90 days after my 6 months (Feb. 28th, 2015 is 90 days) but we bought tickets to move back to the US in March.

My questions are,
1. How do the visiting rules change after marriage? (IF THEY DO)
2. Do i have to apply for an extension even if i already know i'm leaving a little over a week after my 90 days?
3. Are there any penalties with the US customs since those are the guys i pass through leaving?


I have been going out of my head with worry!!

Thanks again for reading!

Call US and or Canadian Customs and ask them all these questions for solid answers.

What you are doing is wrong. You have 90 days to apply for restoration but you have not even attempted to do that, so you are basically staying in Canada illegally.

1. How do the visiting rules change after marriage? (IF THEY DO).

They do not change.

2. Do i have to apply for an extension even if i already know i'm leaving a little over a week after my 90 days?.

You will have to explain why you stayed in Canada illegally to the CBSA officer on your next attempt to enter Canada. As is, it sounds you abused the law to extend your stay.

Applying for restoration can help you build an argument.

3. Are there any penalties with the US customs since those are the guys i pass through leaving? .

No, but be prepared to be questioned. US immigration do not like people bending rules.

I'm planning on restoring status, i just wanted to learn more which is why i posted and only reason i even do is to get second opinions because i contacted an immigration office here and i was told i didn't have to apply for restoration. But i was iffy about being told that, either way i plan on restoring my status, just wanted to know more details. Thanks for the replies!
