I know Canada pretty well, since we are visiting family every year. (Family is huge over there, my wife is french-canadian and I have an uncle there as well.) I just never had to bother finding a job over there. My uncle lives in Toronto since 40 years and was VP at CIBC. He knows our life...

... but has a Canadian wife since 13 years, has a huge family over there (through wife and uncle) and visits the country twice a year for several weeks. Exactly... decisions. If you make the wrong ones, it can become really strenuous. My opinion is based on what also my family told me, e.g...

Tom, I really do know all this. Some of my best friends over here are second generation immigrants from all over the world. I am just realizing lately, that emigrating to Canada only makes sense, if you are not facing a severe "downgrade" in your living standard. And that of course is something...

Finally some positivity in here... :)

Nice attitude... are you laughing about me? Dude, there is nothing wrong with a proof of language skills, also for family class immigrants. In the past it was a huge problem in Germany when immigrants didn't speak a word of German. How do you want to take care of yourself when you can't...

Wow, what a great country Canada seems to be.

Yay... ::)

Thanks. Just another reason to maybe cancel the whole Canada project...

Hi, I am just curious, because my wife (Canadian citizen by birth) and I (German) plan to move to Canada some time, I already heard that I will probably have a hard time to find a job as an immigrant. Bu how would it be for my wife? She finished high school in Canada but studied in Germany...

Just read that applying for a BOWP can take around 8 months... Wow. Canada really sucks on some things. This whole process is inhuman. But after what I read everywhere I most likely won't get a job as an immigrant anyway, so why bother...? Currently we are rethinking the whole move to Canada...

Welcome to the show. When my wife got to Germany 13 years ago, we had to do just one appointment with the immigration office in Berlin. We had to bring our marriage certificate, her passport, passport pictures and proof that I wasn't on social welfare. That was it! The appointment we got 2 weeks...

Hi, I have to admit that I am a little bit confused about this whole work permit issue. So maybe you can enlighten me a bit. My wife is Canadian citizen by birth, I am holding a german citizenship. Currently we are living together in Germany, but we are planning to move to Canada. In the near...

Well, a Courier is doing exactly that... Dropping it off, right?

@Avadava: I am also a freelancer and it is really tough. It is not that we don't have a nice life... we are having a house, two children, our little toys etc... But I am facing exactly what you are describing. The pressure is extremely high to make enough money every month, since my fixed costs...

I hear you... Germany is nice. But feels like a golden cage sometimes. And what is all this good for, when your partner is not really happy here? In 13 years she hardly made any friends, because she never got used to the very distanced German attitude. All the nice things here don't come out of...

Yup, ASAP... But gathering all the papers needed really takes so much time.. translations, certified copies... etc... I still remember when my wife came to Germany. We needed our marriage certificate and a proof that I am not on welfare. That was it! Took one visit at the german immigration...

I wouldn't mind! ;)

We have a similar case. My wife (since almost 13 years) is Canadian, we have 2 children and have lived to together since summer 2000. She will go to Canada with the kids already, while I'll switch off the lights in Germany. I was told that when you are exempt from visa to enter Canada, it is...

Hello everybody... I am new in this forum and it's my first message in the Vienna office thread. Seeing the processing time slip is really no good news for us. We are applying from Germany (we are about to send the application in before Christmas). Our plan was that my wife (we are married...
