Hi i wish to immigrate to canada, and live here. Im from Virginia, USA. I would love to come start my life here. I wanted to know if there are other ways of obtaining a permant residency. I have a girlfriend here in Canada as well, but i do not wish to get married just yet. There has to be other ways. I have heard about a study permit, but i dont think i can afford tuition. It will be 2 if not 3 times as much as a regular students. Please if anyone has any information at all it will really help me. My goal is to be living in Canada this time next year. I have come here visiting temporary for 81 days. I was also wondering that if i stay here up to 6 months when i go back to the USA will that renew once more? Thanks!
