Doing pr wife is sponsor

I think I overstayed once in Canada by 2 days - ( 6 months 2 days ) I was going to extend my visitor stay then decided to go back home so I overstayed two days will cic see this when they check my
coming in and out of Canada?

Since this happened I have been in and out of Canada with no problems

I messed up and feel like ripping up my forms
 
By any chance, would that be 'driving across the border', to the U.S. and back? If so, 'parker' may have some input on that.
 
I honestly don't think CIC will care.
 
Yes we went over the border - but no stamp for coming back into Canada

We went over to do shopping for the day
 
I think I got the US visa waiver stamp in passport - we had to pay $10 or something and given a green card valid for three month stapled to UK passport.
 
I agree then, I don't think they will care either.
 
Just checked my passport I got a " admitted in stamp " for3 months visa on my UK passport
from the US border in that period I thought I overstayed for.

You should be fine, it's not like you stayed for 2 years.

Did you get it coming back to Canada or going to the US?

Though we feel it is scary, CIC will not look at it that way. CIC would look at the "intention" of your stay in Canada. What was your "intention" when you came to Canada on that 6 months 2 days visit? Was it to stay here permanently? Discard your passport and go underground? While at the same time, creating an impression for the immigration officer that you are here only for a temporary period? I think, certainly not. It is those guys that CIC are on the look out for, not a couple of days of overstay.

Send in the forms providing the correct information with explanations for anything that seems out of ordinary and you will be just fine. Worry, frustrations and being at your wit's end is an integral part of Canada's PR process. You would need a lot of patience to go through this process. But in the end, it all turns out to be perfect - wait and see :)

So you were allowed to stay in the USA for 3 months. If there's nothing there from Canada, you have another 6 months :)
 
We went to states via road/driving went Seattle for weekend - was told I need to fill in visa waiver green form paid $10 they stapled the green card to my UK passport gave me the full visa waiver for 3 months in states


On my return at Canada border they never stamped my passport - how would they know they gave me another
reset of six months if they didn't stamp a entry date?

So driving to states and driving back into Canada resets the six months? Visa
 
Intresting.

I dont think you get another six months when you cross the border back into Canada. They (Canada) never stamped my passport when i got back from a couple of days in the states.
When I applied for extension on my visitor status, they added that to the date stamped in my passport when I arrived original at the airport.

Coming back to youre original message. If they didnt gave you a hard time at the airport after overstaying for 2 days I dont think they would now.

Goodluck with youre application
