Hi all. I am 50 years old with a Canadian birth certificate but I left Canada when I was 11.
I have never been employed in Canada and I want to move back and bring my American wife who has no previous ties to Canada.
I am just about to mail away my birth certificate to get my SIN card but thought I would check in here first to ask a couple of questions.
I am assuming as a citizen with a SIN card I will be immediately be able to work (once I find a job that is!)
Is getting my SIN card the first logical step? My passport is expired at the moment BTW.
My wife and I would not qualify for “Skilled worker status” but we will need her income, so what are the steps to get her eligible to work? Just as important how long will it take as we will be living off my income and our savings until she is.
Warmest Regards
Keith
