Hello,
Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the visa situation, I hoped to shed some light upon my best next move from the experienced folks here!
Currently I am on a WHP VISA that has been valid for 24 months within Canada - which is expiring mid August 2014 . I have a full time job in the IT field with a great company which I plan to be with for a long time.
I am also now engaged to a Canadian citizen ( the reason I came here - for love) and we are now expecting a child within the year.
I am sure I could easily extend my WHP visa for another 24 months but I will be applying for PR within the month also ( my fiance will be sponsoring me)
I simply do not want to be away from my family for any amount of time so want to do this the proper and most legal way.
Should I reapply for my WHP visa to relax my situation and then apply for my PR? Keeping in mind I already have a full time job.
Or should I simply apply for my PR and obtain a temporary work visa for while it processes? if so how do I go about this?
Also I hear that you can schedule an interview with a immigration officer? This would be fantastic as this would guarantee I go down the best path!
We have just bought a house too which I could only assumes helps?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
