I want to apply for a student visa in 2 years time to come to Canada to study, I overstayed by around 1 month

Will this really effect my application? I'm from the UK.

Potentially yes. An overstay shows a history of non-compliance with immigration law. This is a significant factor when assessing someone's suitability for a TRV.

Hi guys

I hope someone can guide me here. My situation is this:

I am a South African currently living in Brazil with PR status. My partner wants to apply for the Express Entry programme with me as secondary applicant. We have a daughter together (2 yrs). When I first arrived in Brazil, I intended on traveling around South America but that didn´t happen and instead I overstayed my tourist visa. After her birth I applied for PR based on having a Brazilian child, paid the fine and was issued with PR.

I`m not going to ask whether it would negatively affect our application, as I`m sure it will, but rather how negatively.....ie is it possible for us to be granted PR?

Any help/thoughts/advice would be appreciated!

If you post in the Express entry section, you will probably get more replies.
