Hi all,
I posted this question about a month ago but realised I didn’t provide all the info so apologies for repeating myself. I’m concerned I’ll be denied entry at the border when I travel to Ottawa next weekend.
Background
- From 2016 to 2018 I have an IEC visa
- I applied for a BOWP (not realising I couldn’t) and was refused
- I left Canada a couple of weeks after my IEC expired (October)
This Visit
- I DO NOT intend to overstay the two weeks, my intention is to marry my fiancé and return to the UK to start Outland Sponsorship
- I have a return ticket
- I have a letter confirming my approval for two week vacation from my job
- I have a letter from the NHS confirming I am undergoing a gender transition in the UK (this is why we’re applying Outland)
- I don’t have a hotel booked, will this raise a red flag?
- Since I started transition, my passport name and gender have changed since my IEC, will this be an issue?
Will this be enough to convince the CBSA that I am here for a vacation only? I am aware I should only offer info that I’m asked for. I’m just worried my previous travel history in Canada and the fact that I’m coming back so soon will cause me to be pulled straight into secondary and result in refusal. I intend to tell them that I’m here on vacation and to collect the remainder of my things (this is true, my PS4 and clothes are still with my fiancé and I miss my gaming!).
Does anyone have any advice?
Many Thanks
