Immigration Forum / Canada / March 2006Staying in Canada options ?
Hello, I am considering having my Taiwanese girlfriend live with me for a year or two while we get to know each other better. She is currently living in Taiwan. I want to explore what options I have to get her to stay here for an extended period of time until we decide to get married. She does not have a degree or major work experience. We do not have the means to pay for school tution fees so applying for a student visa is not an option. Besides marriage what other options do we have ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Hi > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks. Basically none. PMM Ok, assuming we take the marriage route then. She would come here on a vistor's VISA .. What is the maximum time she can stay here ? If we get married before she has to go back can she stay here or does she have to go back until our application goes through ? How long for her to get her PR in this case ? Also, is it possible to sponser her to come here and what are the rules for that ? I'm just trying to find a solution to this if possible. Thanks. the answers to all those questions are on the CIC web site under family immigration, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/familymembers.html Basically the answer is No _ > Ok, assuming we take the marriage route then.

What are the options to getting a > girlfriend immigrated to Canada. Most people who decide that they want their spouse to be with them in Canada so much because it is true love, will get married. Alternatively, you could of course join your girlfriend in her country (subject to her countries immigration laws).  SignatureDavid Peacock family class assumes and requires a pre-existant, ongoing committment, proof of a relationship, not just bring her here and see if we get along,, If she comes on a visitors visa & you marry thats a different game again, there are other requirements for family class in Canada, including the intent when the visitor visa was issued the answer is no to your idea. the idea is faulty. Go to www.cic.gc.ca and do your own homework, find out what applies to your situation SignatureIf at first you dont succeed try try try again If at first you do succeed try not to look surprised _ > > > the answers to all those questions are on the CIC web site under family [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > > > > Thanks. & when you do your homework, good luck I'm an immigrant husband, it only looks impossible till you start SignatureIf at first you dont succeed try try try again If at first you do succeed try not to look surprised _ > family class assumes and requires a pre-existant, ongoing committment, proof > of a relationship, not just bring her here and see if we get along,, [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > > > > > > Thanks. Thank you all for suggestions and comments. >family class assumes and requires a pre-existant, ongoing committment, proof >of a relationship, not just bring her here and see if we get along,, >If she comes on a visitors visa & you marry thats a different game again, >there are other requirements for family class in Canada, including the >intent when the visitor visa was issued I met my partner online and we were in a committed 'online relationship' for 3 years before I moved up here.. Immigration did question me (and my partner/her family) for a good hour or more when I landed, but I was upfront with them about my intentions to immigrate (I didn't pretend to be here on a visit and just not return). Immigration granted me 6 months stay when I landed. I've kept my temporary resident status by requesting an extension from CIC, and now I've been here a year, my partner and I are just getting prepared for the whole sponsorship process.. (common-law under family class). The original poster may be able to take a simmilar route, but I would definately advise being upfront about your intentions and having proof of relationship/funds, etc on hand..

I am in a similar situation although i met my partner a few years ago while he was on holiday in England the majority of our relationship has been online and i am looking at doing exactly what you have said you have done so any advise on this would be most welcome. >Skeleton man >do you mind if i ask what proofs you had with regards to your >relationship?? I am in a similar situation although i met my partner a >few years ago while he was on holiday in England the majority of our >relationship has been online and i am looking at doing exactly what you >have said you have done so any advise on this would be most welcome. I had a letter from my partner's family stating that they were happy to accomodate me and I wasn't gonna be on my own, etc. The letter included a phone number and immigration called and spoke to my partner and her family until they were convinced everything was legit. I came in on a one-way ticket so immigration kinda hassled me for 10 mins then left me sitting there for another 45.. then they stamped my passport and read me the riot act about not working, studying, etc without a permit. I had proof of funds also, in the form of a bank statement.
