Hi,
I greatly appreciate if any one could suggest or share their experience.
My girlfriend came here on multiple entry visitor´s visa last year(Dec 2005) and her six month visa exprire in mid June.
We got married and I have submitted the sponsorship application already (Outside Canada - South Afirica) as my wife wanted to return to South Africa and come back here again with PR. Now, she would like to extend her stay here for another 6 month and then return to SA.
Now, my questions are :
1. Can she extend her current visitor´s visa(She has multiple entry but she would like to extend with out leaving the country - if that is allowed )? If so, how and where she should apply ?
2. Will she get permission to enter Canada(although she has multiple entry visitor´s visa) since her status(now, married ; when apply, she was single) has been changed ?
3. What will happend if she visit to US and come back here ? Will she get another 6 months to stay here ?
Many thanks for any suggestions or share you experience.
Regards
Aravind.

1. Yes, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/menu-inside.html
2. Depends on the officer. Make sure you show that she has applied for PR, has the funds to stay the extra time here and can return to SA at the end.
3. You´re pushing your luck (or her luck) if she keeps coming and going and going to the US just complicates things. Technically she can go and come back and get another extension but the officers will eventually get suspicious and could deny entry as a result.

Thanks Roy. Done so much research on this it´s coming out of my ears, even though after 18 months of inland common-law application I am still not allowed to leave Canada myself!
