Well thats what im asking, about coming back into Canada. But I can know that by knowing the procedure they follow in letting Americans back into the states (ie:scan passport, or just let them in). Because if they dont scan my passport going into the states, then there's no way they can know...

Just a bit confused by this answer when you say I can work as soon as I land, but then you say processing probably 6 months on average?

Thanks Leon..that really sucks I thought that if we were married and wanted to live in Canada that I could get a work permit to work..but waiting for PR is really the only way I would be able to work here after marriage? (excluding an employer helping me).

Im American and engaged to my canadian fiance, we are currently living in Canada and I would like to be able to work here after we get married. If we get married in the United States, do I have to apply for PR in order to get a work permit? I wish to keep my u.s. citizenship but be allowed to...
