Re: How to apply for business visitor visa

Update:

Extension was approved after applying for a visa extension as a business visitor. So I guess that proves it's feasible after all. :)

Curiosity regarding implied status

Not that I'm planning on doing this, but due to the recent strikes increasing the processing times of applications, I became curious from a hypothetical point of view…

Let's say someone applies...

Re: How to apply for business visitor visa

You're correct, but I should clarify: I haven't been contracted by any Canadian companies. But I have contracted Canadian companies and freelancers to work for my business. If I had been contracted...

Re: How to apply for business visitor visa

Thanks. I don't think I've really expressed my situation as well as I should. I haven't really been 'warned' per se. (I never used that term.) The officer, back in December, just said all I needed to...

Re: How to apply for business visitor visa

If possible, I'd like to apply to a new status, for whatever is most appropriate, so that I can oversee completion of a project here before I return to the UK.
The below example from the manual is...

Re: How to apply for business visitor visa

Thanks for the info. I've been careful to read the CIC manual and make sure I'm not engaging in any "work" as per their definition. As my business operates 100% in the UK, and I am not being employed...

How to apply for business visitor visa

I'm currently in Toronto but have an app development company back in the UK which I've been operating remotely. I've been in Canada since July 2011; First year was on an ICE, second year I switched...

Re: ESTA and flag polling

That's really helpful information actually. I'm soon to do that and probably would've done the same!

Re: Should I be honest with US immigration about flag polling?

I agree, I don't want to mislead anyone as that always leads to trouble!

So it should be okay for me to simply state I'm visiting the US for a day then on the way back I'll be applying for a work...

Re: Should I be honest with US immigration about flag polling?

Re: Setting up a company in Ontario

So you have a company in the UK already? Do either of you have residency in Canada currently?

I believe you have two options. If you wish to open a new company in Canada, you need at least one of...

Re: ESTA and flag polling

Are there any flags at border crossings? When I get into the US I want to circle their flag pole before returning to the border.

From what I've read around here (some of the info might be outdated), some people say to just be upfront about flag polling, however some posts say you should not mention the immigration application...

Re: Intra-Company Transfer for OWN NEW BUSINESS IN CANADA (self Employed)

I know this is a few months old but curious if you have any update on your progress for this.

In my own research, as I'm looking at doing the same, if you open a branch of the parent company you...

Re: ESTA and flag polling

I thought you didn't need an ESTA to flagpole. You only need one if traveling in an airplane or ship. :)

Re: Cross US border for 2 days while on implied status

Re: Cross US border for 2 days while on implied status

Thanks for the reply PMM, how short is 'reaaaaaaaaaaaaally' short? :p

I should have the visitor extension waiting for when I returned, or a few days after.

Re: Given two weeks on visitor extension

So you're saying it would be pointless to call the CIC? Just want to make sure they wouldn't be able to help at all.

If not, that leaves me a couple of further questions about the possible options...

I've just received the visitor record extension I applied for in July and it's given me a date of 10 September 2012 due to my UK passport expiring on that date. I applied for a new passport a few...

Re: Fish and Chip Shop in Toronto

The thing is, it's not slightly different — it's not even close. It's possible for someone to come much closer to English style over here if they utilized the same recipe and cooking approach.
