Hi,
I am a 26 yr old Mexican tying to make it up to Alberta Canada and make it my new home. I've been doing research for about a year now and I hope to get the process underway and spend my first Christmas in a new home. My english is rather expansive and fluent both spoken and written and I graduated from a high school in Texas. I am at an impasse. There are several options I can take, yet I can't decide which is the best and fastest way to becoming a permanent resident. I have some college, and would be able to get some short certifications by the time I applied. I've mostly worked as a Tax Preparer and book keeper, though I have worked as a waitress and in maintenance before. My choices as I understand them are as follows:
PNP route: semi skilled worker. I know I have to have a job offer/sponsor to apply under this and it's rather hard to find someone willing to go through the whole process when you're not already there. Not impossible, but time consuming and I need a lot of patience.
LMO route: Mostly find someone with an open LMO willing to sponsor me for a WP and TRV and willing to wait for the entire process and my arrival. A little easier than PNP and could probably find a PNP sponsor once there or apply for PR under the experience class. Downside is a longer process to final goal.
Spouse: My boyfriend is willing to marry me into the country. I haven't done a lot of research on this but it sounds like the fastest route. My questions and reservations(aside from the personal ones) is how I'd go about it and if it's really that much faster than my first two options. If it's around the same processing time, it might be better for my relationship with him to just go the work route.
What should I do? Find any job willing to sponsor with an LMO or PNP? get a short certification in some profession and be more specific on my job search and just focus on finding someone to sponsor me for the PNP? Or should I marry my boyfriend?
Any help on the subject will be much appreciated as well as any information about the three immigration paths I may have gotten wrong.
