Hello,
I am here on a visitor visa, which is due to expire on the 28th Dec.
I am awaiting a work permit from London, but to date have not heard
anything except for a request for more paperwork.
I have decided just the other week to extend my stay, and have just
received the Official Fee Reciept Form. I have put away $1000 for a
flight back as well as receiving full support from my new employer,
including that of her standing as guarantor until I hear one way or
the other.
After reading the guidelines however I now percieve I have a problem:
I will be on implied status, if I apply to change my conditions of stay,
which if approval is rejected, as I understand it could jeopardise my
future visits to or stay in Canada.
Alternatively, I could leave the country at the Buffallo border and by
re-entering have a further 6 month visitor visa.
My dillemma is, which would be the best way to approach this problem.
Should I apply and take the risk of being rejected or should I just
leave the country, stay overnight in Buffallo and re-enter Canada before
my visa expires?
In addition, if I did this, would I in fact get a new stamp giving me a
further 6 months or is that a misjudgement on my part?
I would appreciate help and advice quickly, so I can act quickly to
extend my stay, one way or the other.
Thank you, I look forward to help on this small matter.
Wiz
