Leaving and coming back

[MountainMan256]

Hello, me and my common law partner were living together for 3 years in Canada, as a result I have not seen my family in 3 years so I just came back down to the US to visit for a couple weeks. We haven’t started the sponsorship application yet.

My curiosity is, will I run into much trouble trying to come back into Canada? Will the good record of doing my extensions and stuff still make this a hassle?

You could have issues, yes. Were you just constantly getting six-month extensions? Did you work here?

A three year stay as a visitor is unusual and you might be questioned. Or you might be waved through.

yeah just six month extensions. yeah I guess it’s anyones guess. I may as well try

Did you bring your most recent visitor record with you (if it's not stapled into your passport already)? It's not a travel document but they do usually like to see it if you have a valid one

You should still be okay. If you're traveling through a land border, they might pull you into secondary inspection to verify that you do have a valid visitor record (idk if they can/do verify that from the booth) but that's nothing scary. I've only flown in once, so I don't know how the airport procedure really works. Still, just answer the questions you're asked honestly and I don't think they'll give you too much trouble
