hey everyone,
Please analyse my situation and help me clear my doubts. I'll be grateful.

Background:
I'm on student visa here from september 2013 to august 2015.
I took up a course of one year..I did one semester from september 2013 to december 2013 and then i dropped out of college. I havent been enrolled in any course since jan 2014 till now.
I have a boyfriend who is canadian permanent resident (not citizen yet). We are in a serious relationship since past 5 months and plan to get married. we want to do a court marriage at present without our families being involved (since they are against our marriage due to religion issues) we plan to do a proper wedding after 2 or 3 years from now as now we don't have the finances for a wedding function, also because our families are not involved.
Will the visa officer be suspicious of our wedding since its not been too long that we have been in a relationship. Its a genuine relation and we have many many pictures right from day 1 we met and all chats and messages.

I have few doubts in my mind:
1) since he is a permanent resident and next year he will get citizenship, can he still sponsor me?

2) I'm on student visa here and not enrolled in any course at present, so if we get married within a month from now, will my student visa status be cancelled and will i be on implied status? or will i still be on student visa?
If ill be on implied status..can i get a work permit or something on which i can continue to stay here? And if im on student visa still, then can i somehow not continue my studies as international student(not enough finances to pay international fees)?

3)I can't continue my studies as an international student due to financial reasons. is there a way that i could pay domestic fees and continue studies. if yes then after how long from the day we get married and file sponsorship?

4) it is totally a genuine relationship, but the fact that it hasn't been too long..can our file be rejected? what can we do to make our file strong?

1. Yes - he can sponsor you as a permanent resident.
2. No - your student visa won't be canceled. If you apply for PR inland, you will qualify for an open work permit approximately six months after you submit the PR application. If you apply outland, you will not qualify for an open work permit at all.
3. You will have to pay foreign student fees until you officially become a PR. Getting married won't change this.
4. As part of the PR application process, you will have to prove your relationship is genuine through providing various types of evidence. I would recommend you read through the posts in the Family Sponsorship section of this forum for more information.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I don't have the finances to cover more than one semester as an international student.
Can i get married in court in canada and then go to my home country and apply outland?

Or can I apply inland and stay here without continuing my studies?

Many Ontario schools allow foreigners to pay domestic tution rate with just a marriage certifcate showing marriage between foreigner and a Canadian spouse. Check school policy. This rule is only happening in Ontario.
