Should I apply for a visitor extension before or after I apply for my PR?

[aerogurl87]

So my paperwork for my app is almost done. But I want to get an extension on my visa as a visitor. Should I apply for it before or after I apply for my PR?

Breatheee.. My husband and I applied outland, got extension in Nov 11, we sent in the application March 12 and applied for ANOTHER extension May 12. We got both extensions so you should be approved if you tell them you are being sponsored to be a PR by your spouse and your spouse will support you.

You can if you want to, but either way you can apply for it. Like I said, just make sure you prove that your husband has the funds to support you for 6 months and you applied for PR (if you wait until after) OR that you ARE applying

thanks a lot, a do really appreciate your help...wish me luck

Safou we're applying outland as well. I just want the visa extension so I can stay here with my boyfriend in Canada for another two months, until we head off to North Carolina together in October to visit my family. I figure getting back in shouldn't be so hard with him standing beside me when we go through customs at the airport. And good luck to you and everyone else on this board.

hey, did you apply for the extension yet ???

I just applied for it today. Since my work permit is still valid, I'm now gonna be under implied status. I sent them a copy of my itinerary for when my boyfriend and I are gonna go back to North Carolina this October together. So I'm pretty sure it will be accepted.

i will apply this week, I'm really freaking out...i still don't know what to do ?? i hope you will get approved

Try to stay calm and just send them enough info to satisfy them that you won't try to move there illegally and that you will have a way to support yourself while you're there. Then breathe, haha. I'm sure you will be approved.

My husband was broke US wise, as long as you prove that your husband will support you. Honestly, all I sent was a letter stating I would support him and how. I didn't say how much I make, I didn't say how much was in savings. That was my proof of income

And we were approved, twice
