Work Permit under Canadian Tourist Visa

[scylla]

But we don’t have daughter that time does it still consider as common law?

That doesn't matter. All that matters is if you lived together for a year or more. You lived together for more than a year - this means you were common law.

But you did live together for more than a year.

He can't lie in his application about this. If he attempts to lie - the lie will almost certainly be caught during background checks and then he will be banned from Canada for 5 years.

Because my home is just 1 street far from him. Sometime he slept in my home sometime i slept in his home sometimes no. That’s what i mean we lived together

 

[scylla]

If you just stayed at each other's houses but didn't live together at the same address - that's not living together and then you aren't common law.

That's very good news if that's the case.

This would also mean you cannot sponsor your boyfriend as soon as he arrives in Canada. You would first need to get married - or live together for a full year at the same address in Canada.

Does he already have an approved TRV?

Doesn’t matter if you stayed at his house Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and then stayed at your house Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you were in a mutually exclusive relationship and living together (anywhere), you were common law.

Oh yeah we’re not common law. Sorry. What is TRV?

Is it expensive to get married here? Does canada has a free marriage?

Is it expensive to get married here? Does canada has a free marriage?

After we get married then we can apply him for a PR right? How long the PR process? Can he just stay here while waiting for his status?

 

[scylla]

TRV is a tourist visa. Your boyfriend needs one to come here.

No - marriage is not free in Canada. You will have to research the costs in your area.

My boyfriend from Philippines is planning to apply for a tourist canada visa, as soon as he got here our plan is he’ll apply for a work permit so he can work while we’re waiting for he’s permanent residence status. So my question is can he apply for a work permit under his canadian tourist visa? I don’t want to sponsor him directly cos we’re looking forward to the fastest way cos our daughter is growing up without him beside her. So anyone can help me up with this? Thanks in advance! -from philippines

Hi where u from?

 

[canuck78]

LMIA given by family members are high scrutinized because it has been abused in the past. Not sure whether it will be approved.

Unfortunately I think you need to focus on getting the TRV. I think you will find that it will be very difficult given his child lives in Canada. I'm not sure his financial and job status which also will contribute to whether the TRV is approved.

Please I need ideas. I applied for open work permit in Canada as my wife is a student there. My work permit is still pending on medical which I will complete in march. But my visitors visa is going to expire by the first week of march by which time I intend to reapply for another visitors visa while waiting to complete my medical. My question is should I apply again as visitor (tourism) or as a family visitor since my wife is there. If i apply as a family visitor ,they will as of medical which I have not completed meaning longer processing time and if I go for tourism what will they think of my pending open work permit .
PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT
