I am a Canadian born Citizen. My boyfriend is about to move here from the USA in a months time.
He plans to become a permanent resident and possibly a citizen.
In the meantime he will be needing work as soon as possible.
We have been researching this for months now and just keep going in circles.
As far as we can tell he can pretty much just move here and then do most of the paperwork from this side of the border.
I'm not completely sure of this, but so far nobody has told us anything to the contrary.
At the moment the biggest concern is work...
After countless hours of reading I have come to the conclusion that he cannot work here legally unless he has either citizenship or permanent residency and that seems to take three years or more to achieve.
Is this correct ?
I know the system can be rather ridiculas but it doesn't make sense that we just let people move here and don't let them work to support themselves.
Perhaps we overlooked something, is there a quicker way or is that really it.
Thank you.
