So what do I do in this case? Should I quit my job and go spend time with her so that we can know each other and eventually get married? This should take me about 1 to 2 years outside Canada.
Is it considered automatic that one will want to stay in Canada just because someone is visiting a boyfriend or girlfriend? If it is considered automatic that everyone in that situation will 'abscond' and not go back to their home country, then the embassy should say so on their website and outrightly ban people in such situations from applying. Then, that way we do not waste application fees. Afterall, if I wanted her to immigrate, all I have to do is travel to go marry her and bring her here on a PR.
Why do these people enjoy punishing perople that try to do things the right way?
