Immigrate to Canada
Will i need to prove that i am just visiting friends? I am going for 78 days and have a return flight booked. Im worried they won’t let me in. Has anyone ever been to canada for a couple of months as a visitor? What happened at the airport?
Sorry for the repeat question. I asked this recently, but wasn’t able to get a solid answer so I have decided to add more details.
This is my situation:
I want to immigrate to Canada. I currently live in Europe and I’m a British Citizen. I have lived in the US, I moved there as a minor with my grandfather, but he overstayed his visa as did I, and I finally left there as an adult two years ago. I’m essentially American as that is where I have spent the most of my life.
I still have paperwork being filed for me to hopefully one day receive American residency, but it’s such a long, painful process and there’s no guarantees I’ll even be eligable (as I have ‘aged out’). So I would like to immigrate to Canada.
I’m not a student, I don’t have any special skills. Also, I am living with my father and brother here who would also like to immigrate to Canada. How can I make this work?
Here is my one potential hope: I work for a company that does global resourcing. Some of my work has involved Canada (working with Canadian professionals on the phone, etc). I can work from home anywhere in the world (as long as I have decent internet), but it helps to be able to meet clients/contacts. Some of these clients/contacts are in Canada. My company would be willing to set up a virtual office with me as the head of the office if I were to move there, it would help advance business. I don’t know how that would work tax-wise for the company, but I would be paying my taxes there. My brother and father both potentially have jobs with this same company (they’re registered in the US and the UK).
So is any of this possible? Could my job somehow sponsor me? My company only has a virtual presence there now by way of our US office… but me being there in person could improve matters. What would I need to do?
Please let me know what you think! Thanks for your help.
I am Mexican and I would like to know the requirements, I know as a mexican citizen, I need the visa if I want to be a tourist, I don’t know if that’s possible to find a job in Canada and to change your status meanwhile you are in Canada or do you have to leave the country and to ask the embassy of canada in my country.. thanks for your answers.
I’m a student from the UK, currently in my last year studying web development.
When I finish I hope to work for a year or two in Canada. From what I can find it is very difficult and you need a job before moving. Is there any other way of moving there before searching for a job? if not do you know of any companies likely to sponsor a visa application?
Thanks
only working for 2 weeks then going back to home for 2 weeks?
I’m a landed immigrant in Canada since October 2007. Then I’m planning to go back to Philippines this coming April 2008. Am I qualified to go back home? What documents do I need to bring? Do I need to wait 6 months in order to go back?

Mom and baby are canadian and dad is american. They are not married and currently living in Texas. Dad has decided to kick mom out and she wants to know if she needs his consent to take the baby back to Canada. He has already told her he wont give her consent, she cant stay here because she doesn’t have a visa, but she doesn’t want to leave her child either. What should she do?
