Hello,

I would like to tell my story in order to ask for some advice about how I can start to look up information about my next steps.

I'm a 42-year-old man from Spain. I have a HND diploma from the UK and a bachelor's diploma from Spain. In March 2024 I was accepted to study for an AEC Diploma in Syn Studio (Montreal) from September of that year.

In the meantime, I met my girlfriend when she was visiting Spain. She is from the US, so it was a happy coincidence to fall in love with someone that was going to be only one hour by plane from me and in the same time zone when I moved to Canada.

During the last two years, I used my ESTA document to visit her when I had my breaks in my studies. She also came with me several times to Spain.

My graduation is in October 2026. And my Canadian Student Visa will end on New Year's.

We definitely want to start a life together as soon as possible after my graduation, or at least to be as close as possible, because she has her own work in her town.

I don't know how to proceed, nor Canada nor the US. I don't know how to be informed or who to ask. I got some information by myself, but I still feel pretty lost.

I would like to know as well if more people were in my situation and how they managed this.

Thank you in advance.
