Subject: Study Permit While Engaged To Canadian Citizen |

Hello,
I want to apply for a Study Permit but I´m afraid that I cannot provide strong ties to my home country.
I am an American citizen. I don´t know if I should send my application to the CIC office in New York or apply in Toronto, the port of entry. This is just part of the problem.
I will be pursuing graduate studies in Toronto. I got admitted to George Brown College for the Teaching English as a Second Language program. One year program (roughly 3,900CAD total) I have already paid for my tuition in full. I have contacted the International Student Centre and they told me they do not provide Student Permit letters to students in my one-year program. The only thing I have at the moment is my admission letter. That should be enough, right?
Now onto my expenses. I have a low balance in the bank (roughly 2,500CAD) due to the fact that my income comes on a monthly basis (child support). I will be using the money to pay for my living expenses. So I decided to attached a letter by my dad to address this problem. Do you think they´ll understand?
Another part of my expenses will be paid by my fiancee. I don´t have to worry about housing because I will be living with him in Toronto. He is a Canadian citizen, and I visit him quite frequently, sometimes for months at a time. Thing is, we don´t want to get married at the moment. I´m sure the CIC official will think I will just want to stay in Canada after my studies are over. I don´t want to risk being rejected and not being able to enter the country after I´ve paid my tuition.
My fiancee and I plan to change my status once I am in Canada, but not right away. I just want to finish my graduate studies, and I want to be with him. I don´t know if mentioning that to the CIC official will do anything. "Hey, I will apply for my PR later, but at the moment, I just need a study permit"
What should I do? Mention my fiancee in the application or omit him completely? There´s probably mention of our relationship in their system because of my frequent visits. Should I apply at the port of entry and hope for the best?
We´re both desperate and thinking of getting married just to secure my entry.
Thank you,
FD
