Thank you for all the input. Just to clarify: his ties back to the U.S. is his house. He will still have a house in the U.S. For the time being. Clothes and such will be travelling with us, other possessions will be travelling in a moving truck. There should t be anything to say it isn't my...

Scylla - you are so knowledgable about this stuff. Impressive. My boyfriend is a U.S. citizen. Planning on travelling to Canada to live with me in Oct/15. I am a bit confused - will he or will he not require a Visitors Visa?? Also, we had originally planned on hiring a small moving van for his...

Thank you for the clarification. Yeah, thought we could get away with conjugal before I really understood what the purpose of it was. The moving truck will be driven by a diff company but it will all be in my name. Hope this is not a cause for concern. Will he require a letter of invitation...

ik sorry, did you mean "isn't" a good idea? We do not want to get married. We've both experienced a failed marriage in the past I look forward to your clarification Thank you.

Just going to be honest... My US boyfriend for over a year is planning on moving to Canada for a year to live with me. This is how I think it's going to go, let me know if I am wrong... He's driving here, will have a moving truck bring belongings. He will reside here with me for one year (not...

My US boyfriend of a few years is considering coming to Canada to reside with me for one year before we apply for his permanent residency as common-law. If I am understanding this correctly, all he needs is a passport, correct? Will he still require proof of funds, and letter of invitation...

Again, much thanks to everyone who replied! Apologies if I sounded ignorant about the conjugal sponsorship. Much appreciated

Much thanks to everyone who responded! IF we marry, do we still have to live together for a year before applying or can we apply for spousal sponsorship straight away after marrying? Thank you.

I am curious if anyone out there has been approved for Conjugal sponsorship. Looking for success stories. Please indicate country of partners origin, Heterosexual relationship? Any other circumstances, factors. Thank you, Much gratitude!

Thank you for all the replies. The only option for us is the conjugal sponsorship. Coming here as a visitor is not an option as he would not be able to work, thus support himself. I cannot visit there due to the same reason and the fact that I have two children. I understand what you mean...

Thank you for your replies. As per the conjugal partner sponsorship program, we have to prove that we have been in a genuine relationship for 12+ month and prove why we could not reside together. He is still a resident of the US, we have not lived together for reasons such as he was unable to...

Somewhat unrelated, but can you tell me how long one has to be in Canada (on a work visa) before applying for PR? Any info is greatly appreciated.

My boyfriend is looking for construction/general labour work in Edmonton, Alberta. He is also an experienced painter. Wondering what anyone else's experience was like when looking for work in the same industry. Was there lots of work? Was an offer hard to come by? How long did it take before...

Thank you for your help!

Can anyone out there share with me how long they looked for a job until they were offered one? Preferably in the construction industry. Also, how many applications did you send out roughly? Trying to gain insight into timeline expectations Thank you

Does anyone know where I can find an example of a cover letter for a TFW? I want to be completely clear in the cover letter that my partner is a TFW, and intends to reside in Canada. I think what I am asking is, how can I convey to the employer that my partner will require LMIA?? Thank you

Thank you so much for your information, it is appreciated!

How do you know which employers have LMIA? No sense in applying to positions where TFWs are not even considered. Thank you.

I'm in the same boat as you. How do you know which employers have LMIA? Are you expected to apply to anything/everything and hope someone does? If you get any information, share!! Thank you.
