    No. in your current status, you are not eligible for any work authorized nonimmigrant visa classification; and no permanent resident classification.

    You are now no longer eligible to enter the US with only your Canadian passport and are illegal in the US, as is your son. You are both subject to deportation.

    Consult with an immigration attorney immediately. Good luck.

    How do they know how long I have been in the US for? I didn't get any stamps on my passport, also I crossed before and was asked how long I was here I had been gone for 2 months but when coming through a month later they had no idea I was just here
