Any thoughts, comments or suggestions??

I am aware of people who came here as visitors, bought a property and basically got extensions of the 6 month visitors' permit until they applied and received
PR status. Of course they could not work during this period and got heavily involved in community/charity work which they claim helped their application. It was a difficult grind for them and, of course, at anytime they faced ejection from the country.
