Good evening, all.
I'm new to the site, and I've been searching a bit, but the keywords I've used are so often used that the searches return too many posts to look over. I hate to abuse a new topic just to ask a question that has most likely been asked too often, but here goes:
I am an US citizen, born and raised. I have a long-term girlfriend who lives in Vancouver (Well, just outside VC). We've met on multiple occasions for some length, but prefer to get a better idea of what living with each other is like before making marriage commitments. I have graduated college with degrees in Business Administration and Human Resources. I've been part-time employeed in a field un-associated with my degree for over two years now. I've looked over the CIC, but like most government websites, they manage to be way too vague, despite being so specific. My question is this, how can I move to Canada and live with my girlfriend for a period of at least 3 months and preferably work while I'm there. Does the visitors visa give me the ability to seek employment in Canada or are there other options. I'd hate to end up being a financial leach.
Thank you for your time and help.
TL;DR = I'm a US citizen, girlfriend is Canadian citizen. How can I move to Canada and work?
