Subject: Which is best way to extend stay in circumstances? Posted on: Sun, 14 Dec 2003 00:37:36 +0000


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
