Hello, I am an American Citizen and have been living in Canada with my Canadian boyfriend of 4 years since May 27, 2015.
Upon my initial entry I managed to get approved to stay for no more than 6 months, I eventually applied for another visitor extension online 30 days before my visitor visa expired on November 27, 2015. I have been staying in Canada on what I believe is an implied status.
Since the beginning of my visit I had been planning to attend the local University to which I applied and was accepted. I then proceeded to apply for a study permit inland, that application was refused as I applied incorrectly. :-[
I finally decided to contract a Visa worker around January or February and re-applied for a permit with an outland application through them. After waiting for about a month I received news today that it was approved! The only thing between me and my study permit is that I must now exit and re-enter the Canadian border to get the permit processed and released.
The problem with that is I am still on an implied status and have been for quite a long time as I am STILL waiting on a decision for my visitor extension application that I completed back in November.
I've read online that leaving Canada on an implied status will cause the status to lapse, I am afraid that this will negatively affect my study permit's dispersal and possibly be the cause of refusal for my re-entry to Canada immediately or at all.
I am supposed to begin my first classes this Summer in June.. I just want to go to school, guy's.
