My partner plans on moving to Canada, however we are not getting married until next summer, and the processsing time to get him under the family class visa is longer then we had hoped. He is an australian which qualifies him to come visit under the Visa Waiver program, however it only allows him to visit for a maximum of 90 days. If he is coming to Canada, but needs to stop over to connect in the USA does the Visa Waiver program apply, and if so if he is coming to Canada does the 90 days start regardless if he is in Canada or the USA? I guess my question is him being in Canada and connecting through the USA still restrict him to the 90 day maximum stay regardless of the country (Canada/USA) he is visiting. Does the 90 day permittance start the day he arrives connecting through the USA to Canada?
If that is the case and he is not able to stay more then the 90 day limit is there another Visa he can obtain which will allow him to be here for a longer period of time? Based on my research had he been eligable for the Temporary Visitor Visa he would be allowed to stay up to 6 months, and then reapply for an extension, but because he belongs to one of the countries that are part of the Visa waiver program he does not require an Temporary Visitor Visa.
Are there any other visa out there that will allow him to stay 6 months to a year?
