Flights and maximum visit query
Hi everyone
Not been on here for a while. A few questions for you guys and gals
1 Are there any cheap flights to be had into Toronto or Hamilton nowadays. if so who should I be looking at using?
2 My step son visited on a 2 week holiday in June, but now wants to return for a 6 month stay with his aunt and uncle. I presume the 2 weeks has to be deducted from the 6 month limit, but just need to confirm my understanding is still correct.
3 Can he book a one way flight only and then book his return flight from Canada as he may wish to return home before the 6 months is up. Not sure about this one as I feel that immigration may want a definite return date. Can anyone verify the rules on this one please.
Many thanks
Graham

Re: Flights and maximum visit query
Depends what you call cheap flight. To my mind all flights are cheap for what you get. If airlines sell flights too low, they end up going out of business. The biggest losers being the employees.
The six months starts again at POE on each journey. Is at the discretion of the immigration officer.
Without legal residency in Canada it would be extremely unlikely the airline will let him board on a one way ticket. Immigration may not let him in either. He could get an open return, but these are not discounted tickets.

Decided myself that it has to be a return ticket as I do not want him turned around at immigration in Toronto
Best deal up to now is £346 return with Canadian Affair
Thanks for your reply
I am so out of touch with Canadian matters now that we are no longer moving there.
