Hi everyone,
I am hoping that someone here would take the time and offer me some advice on my current situation.
A brief history:
I am a UK citizen who met and fell in love with a Canadian citizen in July 2008 whilst working in Utila, Honduras. I came to Canada in September 2008 for 3 months before returning to the UK for 1 month. I then returned to Canada for 6 months as per the visitors visa. Things have worked out amazingly between us and I proposed to her in January. In June of this year we both returned to the UK for a month with her 7 year old son to attend a wedding and for them to meet my family. We then returned to Canada for 1 week to return her son to his dad before returning back to Utila, Honduras. We stayed in Utila for 2 and half months before my fianceé returned back to Canada and her son.
I have stayed in Utila for work but I am wanting to return to Canada again for another 6 months in a month to be with her again as being apart from each other is very hard for the both of us.
I understand the suspicions of the IO at the border in regarding myself as person who might overstay the visa but I will not do this as i do not want to risk any chance i might have in applying for a sponsership and PR visa.
What might I do to help persuade the IO ?? I will have booked a ticket to return home to England after the 6 months stay in Canada but I don't want to risk not obtaining entry again into Canada and the cost of a ticket.
Please can you help and many thanks
