, you can get an extension of stay staying at a hotel. :O there's nothing in the rules that says you have to have a house. All you have to do is show you and your wife standing in front of the address numbers and a few pictures of you two sitting around the living room or kitchen.
Yeah that yellow house book isn't going to cut any ice applying for an extension out of the province it was issued in (in fact it could be an impediment showing it to them)
