Hello. :) Was hoping someone could help answer my question, or at least give me advice on the best route to go. My goal would be to work and live in Canada, specifically Montreal. Would be open to other areas. I'm about to embark on beginning a degree for school, in french/international...

No more boyfriend in Quebec, Leon. :( Was just going to maybe try to do this on my own. Wasn't sure of the best route. I thought about taking french courses here. I don't know. Just not sure which route would be the best to proceed.

Hi there. Had a quick question. I did the self assessment, and, without having a job lined up, I passed the points test to qualify for possible immigration. Anyone have any idea what chance one would have in being approved without a job lined up? How long does it normally take?

If I'm from the US, can't I go to Canada for six months and stay? Woudl they question since I'd be staying with my boyfriend? (I guess they wouldn't need to know we were dating). Just wondered if I had a return flight, if they'd question the length of the period of time I could hang out in...

Hi there. I seem to be in a bit of a middle ground, and I wasn't sure if anyone else out there has fallen into my position and can offer a bit of advice. I've worked as a professional for a while now. I worked in the world of finance, as a mortgage underwriter for four years, and have held...

Leon - Thanks for the heads up. Is that a separate category for a work visa? Do you often need a college degree to qualify for a regular one? I'm a professional position and have had professional experience in the mortgage/financial field prior to my current job. Just seems like I miss the...

Hi there. My boyfriend lives in Quebec, I am from the US. We're in the 'girlfriend-boyfriend' stage of our relationship and not quite ready to talk about marriage. I'm curious to know if there's a way one could stay in Canada for a length of time that could lead to permanent residency? Here's...

Just out of curiousity - are they looking for specific things on the medical exam? I mean, is it based on something like if you have something as severe as a disease or cancer, or is it based on if they just think you're unhealthy due to weight, or something? Also, my boyfriend lives in...

So here's my plight, and I'm hoping there's some of you out there that can feel me on this one. I'm involved with a guy in Montreal (I'm in the US), but we're not ready to get married just yet. Our relationship is serious, and we've talked a bit about who's going to move where. He's a little...

Hi there. Couple questions that I'm hoping someone can help out with. If I am a US Citizen, and I marry someone from Canada, am I allowed to live with him immediately and process whatever paperwork from within Canada? I'm wanting to be able to be with him immediately after marriage, obviously...

I'm from the U.S. and am dating a boy in Montreal. Was curious to know if I work for a company in the U.S. and am allowed to telecommute, would I be able to live in Montreal and continue being employed by a company in the U.S. and have there be no issues with immigration? Just curious. J

It's too bad there isn't a program where one could go to Montreal, take a huge crash course in French, and then get in that way, somehow. Seems if I knew french on some level the point system thing wouldn't be a big deal at all. I'd pass. Just wanna get to Quebec to be with my boyfriend. We're...

I appreciate those that posted to my last thread. I live in the US and my boyfriend is in Montreal. It's my understanding that one can go from the US to Canada and stay for six months under the visitor criteria, and being that I'm from the US, I don't need any special documentation aside from...

Lemme give you the rundown. My boyfriend, who lives in Montreal (I'm in the US), and I met online. We're trying to figure out the best route to go, to get me to Canada. I don't quite understand what falls under the conjugal partner status, based on what I read on the CIC website, so I'm hoping...
