I don't get it - what does your marriage have to do with it? Are they like trying to be considerate of your wedding day, or something?

When I lived in New York, we used to go to the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls just for sightseeing purposes. Now, you are required to show your passport when you cross the border. Is it harder now just to go visiting - do they try to find out if you are "sneaking" in the country?

This is very important stuff to know. You will never know what to expect, so be prepared for anything.

I think you would need to start as soon as possible, because it could be a lengthy process.

If they are children, they are not authorized to sign anything or make decisions, so they wouldn't need to go with you. You would probably do better to not take them with you, as you have no idea how long it will take.

That seems like an awfully long time for all of you to have to wait. I wish I knew the answers to your questions. I am curious to know the answer, myself.

There are lots of companies that offer their services to help with your paperwork and to obtaining a visa - are these companies just a rip-off, or are they legit?

I am not sure - what is the refund for? Is this like a tax refund or similar to what we have in the US?

I don't know what "sponser" means - can someone explain? If you are a Canadian PR, does that mean you are a Canadian native? Are your wife and child not from Canada?

That does sound shady to me. I doubt if I would trust something like that. They know that there are people eager to have jobs lined up and can easily be convinced of something like this.

I read that Manitoba's immigration is expecting a 50 year high - is this one of the more immigrant-friendly places, or is there a better place to live in Canada for immigrants? http://www.canadavisa.com/immigration-to-manitoba-reaches-50-year-high.html

Wow, over 2 years! Well, I know some of these things take a long time, but that seems awfully long. Can you contact the person who contacted you in July?

What did they say to you the first time you went for the interview? This should give you some indication of what they want from you?

Wow - it doesn't get much simpler than that! Are there actual "lists" to find things like this, or are you better off researching it online?

I guess I didn't realize that you have to actually "qualify" to become a citizen. What is required? And is this standard for all countries?

I'm not sure if I understand this - you are fed up and just up and leaving with nothing lined up? Where are you going to stay? You have children to support - how are you planning to live until you find something?

I am not so sure about Canada specifically, but in most countries it should be easy to find low-paying jobs for anybody.
