Update: I landed today. Drove 3.5 hours down to Montana. Waiting time at the US border was 2 minutes, waiting time at the Canadian border was 1.5 hours. A lot of people despite the heavy snowfall.
I was surprised how many questions I was asked:
- my address and phone number
- what I did in the last few weeks (unemployed, visitor record)
- why I didn't work (work permit expired)
- asked again if I really stopped working (yes)i
- when I stopped (March 25th)
- where my visitor record is I applied for (at home, but stamp from April 3 is in passport)
- where I went (Alabama)
- why (to visit a German friend)
- how I supported myself in the last few weeks (savings)
- how many savings I have ($xx.xxx)
- how much money I made at work ($xx.xx)
- how I could build up such a high amount of savings (brought my savings from Germany and common-law partner works, too)
- how much money my common-law partner makes ($xx.xxx)
- where he works (golf course)
- what kind of job (Assistant Superintendent)
- when I will go back to work (next week)
- what kind of job I have and where (European Deli, clerical work)
- if we own property (yes, a condo)
- if it is registered in both of our names (yes)
- when we bought it (February 2013)
- when we moved in (May 2013)
- if I have a criminal record (no)
- if I have ever been refused entry into Canada or have been deported (no)
He probably realized that I would answer another 100 questions without hesitation so he stopped lol.
Afterwards he told me that I am a permanent resident now and could apply for citizenship in 2 years (because my two years on a work permit count as the 3rd year).
Then he told me about condition 51 and that I have to live with this guy (pointing on my boyfriend) for at least 2 years, otherwise I would get deported. Then he told my boyfriend when this happens he will face charges because of immigration fraud
I felt like being at an interview to get PR not to actually land as one.
But it's over now 8)
