So I'm a Canadian going to be with my Australian fiancée and we can't pay the $7000CAD for spouse visa right away. As of now I have my Electronic Travel Visa (ETA) and that's good for a 3 month stay. I get there on the 31st of December this year and was wondering if anyone could help point us in the right way to have me stay a longer time. So far the best option I've come across was a Travel Visa which lets me stay for up to 12 months, but that comes to $1000CAD which I can pay off. Is it viable to go with that route and see if we can get the $7000 for the Spouse visa by the 12 months or is there a better way/cheaper way to get this done?
