Hello, I have been approved for Perm Residence in Ontario. However a unique issue has arisen that may cause my family to move to Quebec. If I already have my Perm Residence card from Ontario, would I need to do anything else for living in Quebec? Some details: I do not speak French, yet. I know...

I currently live in America. I'm not in Canada so I assume outland.

I am engaged to a Canadian citizen. I'd like to apply for a family sponsorship for permanent residence. My fiance is pregnant with my child and we wanted to wait to get married after the child was born.

The American processing time for PR is 22 months in New York and 26 months in Los Angeles. During the processing of my PR application, would I be able to stay or visit Canada? I've tried to come over and visit for 6 months at a time and was declined and only allowed to stay 1 1/2 months. If the...

Short and sweet. Thank you for your answers! ;D

I just have a couple of quick questions. If I'm just visiting Canada for say 6 months (or less) at a time do I need anything more than my U.S. passport to do so? Also, if I have a work from home job in America, would anything prevent me from working in Canada while I visit? (Obviously this is...

Thanks again Amikety! I'll keep looking around for more info.

I have another question that is a little different. My fiance is First Nations/Canadian. Would she be able to live with me in Buffalo, NY and still be able to cross the border everyday to go to college in a Canadian city? I know I would not be able to live in Canada and travel everyday across...

Thank you for your help Amikety! Since you've been there as a visitor for 2 years, have you been able to find work? Or are you restricted from working while visiting?

If I get married does it matter which country we get married in?

A relative of ours did suggest looking for NAFTA jobs, so that theme keeps coming up. I'm grateful for the feedback scylla! Thank you for taking time out to help answer my questions. I really enjoy the helpful information on this forum! I've been very impressed and I'll come back to this thread...

That would be the difficult part. I do need to continue my income and from what I've read I don't think I'd be able to find a job in Canada with just a visit visa. Is that correct? If so, then she'd have to support me financially.

Thank you scylla for the information! I don't understand why they require us to live together for 1 year for common law. Basically I'd have to live in Canada illegally for a year before I could get sponsorship. Is that correct? How have others been able to accomplish this with out being in...

Would a TRV be the type of immigration document I'm looking for? My goal is to temporarily live in Canada with my fiancé (currently residing in St. Catherines, ON) and work in Buffalo. It's basically just across the Niagara Falls border. I'm thinking I can still work in the US and live with my...

Thank you for the extra info AnaMaria! I figured there would be an added student expense. I still have to research more about going for a graduate degree because so far I've read that you have to be a full time student and most graduate level students are not full time. At least not here in the...

Ok it looks like I'll need to just work on getting a job near the border for now. Then I can still go see her on the weekends. I've always thought about going back to school to obtain a Masters, so this might be a good motivator. From what I've read it looks like it's easier to get a student...

I am filling out the application to work form #1295 and it has a question under the Details of Intended Work in Canada. "What type of work permit are you applying for?" The options are: International Experience Canada Program Live-in Caregiver Program Open Work Permit Other Seasonal...

LOL, I won't read the whole thing I promise. I'll check out the section you pointed me to. I've found the documents I need to fill out in order to apply for a Temporary Work Visa. I plan to complete that packet and send it in this week just to get a head start. If that doesn't work then it will...

Thank you OhCanadiana! That link is a ton of reading, but I fully expected to do some major home work for this. I will look into the NAFTA program. That's a really good idea. There are plenty of companies who have offices in the US and Canada. I'm currently in mortgage servicing management so...

Thank you for the quick reply Sweden! I will check out the work link you provided. I think I've used it once before and I was unsuccessful at finding any jobs in the field I'm in. If that is still the case then I will look further into getting married. My girlfriend and I are living apart, so...
