Hello,

My husband and I immigrated to Canada from the united states September of last year. My husband is employed as a tenure-track professor at the University of Ottawa and we are on visitor visas for three years. We need to start the permanent residence process but I have a few questions on where to begin:

1.) I'm assuming that we would be eligible for express entry? I (his wife) stay at home with our 3 kids. Would I apply separately or with him?

2.) on one step-by-step guide that I read, they stated the first step is toe "check your eligibility" via an online questionnaire. But the second question on the questionnaire asked our scores on an English test, which we have not even taken!! Is the English text, literally, the first thing we should schedule? We are both fluent in both English and French. Do we just choose one?

Sigh...my France husband just became an american citizen last year... after 6 years of green card and immigration paperwork. 1 month after becoming american...we moved here!! AIIIEEEE!!! NOT AGAIN!! :)

Yes, get the English/French test done first. Also, start getting your foreign education (degrees/diplomas) evaluated.

1. You should use the CRS tool to check your eligibility.
2. IELTS/TEF and Credential Assessment are a must to create your profile.
