URGENT HELP!!!

[zzxmax1024]

Currently I am holding a PGWP which is expiring very soon :'( In order to stay in Canada for longer time(my crs score is 465, hope to be selected in the near future), I am applying the visitor visa right now. I have two questions here:

1. How long do you plan to stay.
I want to stay more than 6 months. Is is appropriate to write that?

2.Name, address and relationship of any person(s) or institution I will visit:
What can I fill it here? I simply just want to stay in Canada.



Thanks in advance.

Choose less than 6 months for the TRV, as more than 6 months is for the parents/grandparents super visa application.

1. when your PGWP is about to expire, apply for extension of work permit. It will take around 90 days usually for them to process. During this tenure, you will be in implied status and can legally work and claim experience.

2. when they process your Work permit application, they will reject your file saying they cannot extend PGWP, which is fine and this will not effect your EE in anyway.

3. After your rejection, you will have 90 days to take action, apply for visitors visa on the 80+ day so that you extend it to max time.. NOTE: you CANNOT WORK in these 90 days or in visitors visa.

4. Time taken to process visitor's visa is counted under restoration status, so you can legally stay in canada.

This way you can extend your stay in Canada to almost 6 months excluding visitor's visa. Once, you get your visitor's visa you will have additional 6 months or more.

I'd suggest you to leave when your PGWP expires (assume you've used all 3 years??), and maybe comeback as a visitor with intention to visit your friend or family.
The reason why I say that is b/c the last thing you want to do is have CIC suspect that you are not willing to leave the country.

You may be lucky and get the visitors visa, but I highly doubt it.

Your intention of staying in Canada for more than given period of time is clearly to get your PR.
CIC grants visitors visa to those who wish to visit family and tour around (or conduct business or to work <- which you've done already to the maximum capacity),
but not to those who are waiting for their PR to come.

What crazydesifool suggested may work, but it seems like you're exploiting/cheating the system,
b/c you were aware that you were going to be rejected. CIC might not like. I would certainly not like it if I was an officer.

What is your intention to stay here anyways?
You know you cannot work as a temporary visitor.

But then hey, I'm not a immigration lawyer or an officer.

Completely misguiding advice, CrazyDesiFool is right, this is the actual process to follow to extend your stay in Canada...!!

i bet you've never lie to your wife.

And to what end? What's the point of staying here longer with no job? Meaningless. OP, just go back home and get a job. When you get ITA, apply for PR.

Cheating or exploiting the system? I reckon you have no knowledge of CIC rules and regulations? It's mentioned in their website that you can actually extend your stay this way whilst a decision is made or can be made by CIC. I got my PR doing the same thing.. Please refrain from misguiding or misquoting when you have no knowledge of how CIC works. Google extension of your stay in Canada and read for your self.

 

[djshshajtm]

I am aware you get the extended stay while the decision is being made.

However, I have no idea how it makes sense to apply for extension when you, yourself are aware that you are not entitled to permit extension.
That is exploiting the system only to grant yourself the extended stay while the decision is being made which you know you will get rejected in.

Surely doing this is abnormal, and when it comes to applying for PR, it won't be beneficial.
Just because you got your PR and it is allowed doesn't mean that you should recommend to other people.

OP can choose whatever he/she wants to do.
It seems like a loophole & exploit to me (knowing you will get rejected but still applying for the sake of getting the extended stay)

This makes 100% sense to me.
What are you waiting for?
You can't add on your work exp and you won't get your ITA with your score.
Even if you get your ITA, it will take at least 6m, at which point you are to leave Canada.

 

[djshshajtm]

i bet you've never lie to your wife.

I am not married.
But thanks for letting us know that you lie to your wife.

Just because you don't like other people's option doesn't mean you must use ad hominem attack.
Stay on topic next time you participate.

Again, I don't see your reply quite useful; When CIC has authorized applicants to use this method.. what is making you think this is exploiting?

Go through this, thank you

Maybe you have hard time understanding the common sense?

You think CIC will be happy to see you apply for extension knowing that you will get rejected
only to stay under the implied status? Good luck with that if that's what you decide to do.

To me that's betting your whole PR application and something that I would never do OR recommend others to do.

Again, if you choose to do that, that's up to you and your PR application.

again my friend, I got my PR doing the same, The GCMS notes I ordered mentions the path I chose and the visa officer who worked on my file acknowledged the decision I took. So common sense, yes it is to follow what CIC asks you do.. so Thank you.

 

[thejkhan]

again my friend, I got my PR doing the same,

But extending your stay in itself didn't help you get PR. It's a pointless exploitation of a loophole. Not illegal, but thoroughly pointless, and for some a matter of ethics.
