Correct. Mostly just answering that specific question. To each their own. There should always be several factors to consider so if Australia is where you think you need to be, go for it, though an education isn't a guarantee of good employment.

I am trying to look up what you must do, but so far I have nothing concrete. You will more than likely need an immigration lawyer. One key thing is, provided you are permitted to continue with the PR process, your sponsor is still financially responsible for you over the initial 3 years. So...

Lowest I found is roughly $36,000 CAD at a university that doesn't even make Australia's own ranking list; so not sure what the quality of education is in comparison to that amount for tuition. Only goes up from there. Good luck.

Where did you find that exception? I double-checked the application instructions as well as the photo specifications page for the proof of citizenship certificate and it doesn't show any exceptions...

I can attest that this is true, but here is the website as certain proof: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs-cit.asp

If it is required by law. Maybe I don't understand all of this stuff since I am not that far down the path of life, but if I still need to file taxes while living abroad, I will, unless I choose to renounce my U.S. citizenship. I don't want any issues if I decide to move back some day in the...

I believe the U.S. government has been taking about 25-30% of my pay, though I usually get a decent return after filing... Even if that is true, I am just too upstanding to risk it. Same with my wife's emergency room bill here in the states... she has no credit here, she is a Canadian...

Check this site for information on exchanging a license for an Alberta license: http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/1671.cfm

Will be moving to Edmonton, AB where my wife is from. She has family and friends there so it will make the adjustment a little easier for us, and it is easier than trying to get her PR in the U.S..

I am very excited!! I received my certificate so now a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders as my wife and I can now legally move!! Sent: October 15, 2013 CIC Received: December 3, 2013 Notified by mail: December 20, 2013 Status: Received (As of December 3rd) Letter Requesting Urgent...

Well, she did kind of work a couple months of 2013 before coming to stay with me, and we are returning, so I would rather be safe than sorry...

The other thing that concerns me is this: As well as this: Being that your mother was born in 1967, dual/multiple citizenship was prohibited during that timeframe, and she would have needed to file for retention and also renounce her U.S. citizenship. So, depending on how the act reads, she...

I would also be interested to know as my wife has been here in the U.S. with me for the past year and I don't want her to get in trouble for not filing her taxes.

Well, based on the information you provided, I also attempted to utilize the assessment tool and this was the result: The part in bold is what concerns me. Upon doing some amateur research (I am not a lawyer and it is possible I may misinterpret the information I come across), it may come...

Honestly it will come down to being able to prove (Usually by birth certificate) that your mother is indeed a Canadian. If you can prove that, then more than likely, you too are a Canadian citizen though you would be a second generation Canadian citizen via lineage. To prove you are a...

I understand. I will check with the FL DMV as I have in the past gotten my driving record back to when my license was first issued, but I want to make sure it is either the same or different from a record of origin. Thank you for the additional information as the Alberta government site...

Ah yes, that is good to know as you can request your driving record back to a certain date or the full record, so you recommend requesting the full record?

You will receive it by mail, however, in the meantime you will be given a piece of paper that serves as a temporary license. Once the actual arrives, you rip up the paper one.

I am planning to do the same myself, but I haven't quite nailed down the process. Alberta DOES exchange license for license with the U.S. though you completely surrender your U.S. license. I would definitely obtain your driving record if possible as I would imagine it would help even if it...

Well, if you google "Applying for Canadian Proof of Citizenship Urgently" (This applies specifically to the Proof of Canadian Citizenship Certificate only; i.e. You have to already be a Canadian citizen but need proof), it lists what circumstances allow you to request this service. Being as I...
