My common-law partner is a US citizen and we submitted his In-Land
application in October 2003. Does he need to obtain a temporary
visitor's visa? As for my understanding, US citizens do not require
travel documents to enter and return to Canada and they can be legally
in Canada for up to six months. In my partner's case, he stays in Canada
for 5 months, heads back to NY for 2 months and the cycle continues. Is
this visa necessary for his case then?
He was in the States during the
holidays and came back 2 weeks ago. He is planning on applying for a
temporary visiotr's visa in March 2004 and hopefully by May CIC would
start processing his application.
I need your advice. If he obtains
his visa now, then it could expire even before CIC looks into his
application. Should we wait for few more months?
Your help is
appreciated!
