Oh I was curious about VioletBlue though. She makes it sound like she said in the application "yeah I worked illegally here and made some dough" and they were like "whatever sistah we don't care" lol.mollybloom said:They absolutely cared, but it was clearly a misunderstanding on my part. I'd always had a work permit while living in Canada; I moved to Canada in 2008 on a work permit and eventually got a student permit, so I'd never been in Canada without working status. I had no idea that babysitting, something teenagers do and never declare taxes for, would be recognized as employment.
When I told the CBSA agent what I'd done, he clarified the laws for me. I had my husband with me, our marriage license, and proof of our relationship and pending paperwork with the CIC. Because of this, he allowed me to remain in Canada.
Edit: btw, why were you not allowed to babysit if you've always had a working status in Canada?
