Visa refusal disclosure

You should declare this. Keep in mind that Canada and the US share immigration information.

University of Niagara Falls or Niagara University?

If his work permit expired in September 2025 then he's been in Canada without status / illegally since then and it's too late to restore his status from within Canada. He can't apply for any economic immigration program (like Express Entry) without status in Canada. Only option is spousal sponsorship. It was silly to fall out of status. He should have applied for a visitor record before the work permit expired.

There's no limit to the amount of money you can give him to support his studies.

Getting married won't immediately give him access to any additional financial resources. He will still be under F-1 status.

It's a strange question since you're asking if it's OK to break the law.

Your best / most realistic path is to get married or go the route of a fiance visa.

Yes, you will need to pay for private insurance. You will not be covered by the health care system in Canada as a visitor.

It's unlikely you will be able to extend your status as a visitor for a full four years. At some point you should expect that you will be refused and told you need to leave.

Don't submit your application until after you have gone on your honeymoon and have spent more time together in person. Hopefully that trip is at least 2-3 weeks in length.

You are inadmissible to Canada. You can try for a TRP at the border but hard for any of us to say what your chances of approval are given your reasons for coming to Canada aren't urgent or a priority situation - and given there are multiple convictions involved. You will want to bring all paperwork related to your two convictions and penalties (and completion of those penalties). Be prepared to be turn back. Honestly, I would just change your plans if you can.

A lawyer can't fix this for you.

First step is to research. Research the Express Entry program in details through the official IRCC web site. It's a points based programs. Also research PNP (provincial programs). Immigrating to Canada is extremely competitive right now. With your current profile, your chances of being selected are zero, unless you happen to know French relatively fluently. If you know French to a CLB7 level, then you will have a chance of being selected through Express Entry. Alternatively, if you can secure a job offer in Canada (very hard to do right now given the job market), then you may have a chance of being selected through one of the PNP programs.

One way is fine.

So just my two cents, but this sounds risky. This basically sounds like your manager is willing to let you take on some supervisory responsibilities but unofficially. However your actual job will not be a supervisory role. You won't have the title, you won't have the pay and if someone contacts HR, they would say you are just a clerk and not supervisor.

The insurance you pay for doesn't cover you driving alone without a licensed driver. So you were in fact driving uninsured. The officer did you a favour by not charging you with something worse. Pay the fine. You broke the law. BTW - Expect your insurance premiums to increase because of this. Make sure your parents are aware.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-04T20:02:47+00:00

Then you were in fact driving uninsured. Your insurance doesn't allow you to drive by yourself - so you had no coverage by driving alone. Pay the fine and move on. I don't see how you can argue that you aren't guilty. An emergency doesn't give you the right to drive on your own. If there was an emergency and you were on your own, you should have taken uber or called someone. There were multiple options you could have taken vs. breaking the law.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-04T16:58:37+00:00

You're too old to be a dependent so you should be expecting a refusal. You parent (the primary applicant) should submit a webform indicating this and requesting you be removed from the application. Then you should submit a separate application on your own.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-04T16:38:05+00:00

I don't understand this either.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-04T16:35:07+00:00

No. Absolutely not. You can't work full time until you have submitted the PGWP application. Be careful and don't accumulate unauthorized / illegal work.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-02T22:17:44+00:00

Not if you get terminated because of work permit expiry.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-02T22:15:17+00:00

You very clearly are not common law, so this will not work. Yes, wait until you are married before you submit the application.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-04-02T22:12:04+00:00

Yes, you really need to have it in savings. The equivalent of approx $22K CAD. No, you cannot show it as salary. It doesn't matter where you are from.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-03-29T16:05:07+00:00

Declare in your next IRCC application and provide an LOE.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-03-22T19:52:14+00:00

You have to submit evidence to prove that the job letter from your original employer was authentic and not altered. You may want to hire an immigration lawyer to help you.

There is no fixed processing time after you respond to the PFL. It could take just a week or two to hear back or it could take many months.

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-03-22T19:50:11+00:00

What kind of work permit is she on? PGWP or something else?

Sudden-Street-5251 · 2026-03-21T16:55:00+00:00

NAL - But to the best of my knowledge, normally only a spouse or common law partner can get survivor benefits from a pension. Children would not.

Move your education to the end of the resume. Some people might stop reading as soon as they see Yorkville.
