Yep...

Most of you know that I'm taking the trek up North and moving to Canada (weekly commuting gets old in a hurry). I am hoping to move as soon as possible, but will probably need some assistance of a lawyer. Does anyone have any recommendations? Tips? Advice?



Thanks... much appreciated..

Naw you don't need a lawyer.

I got my wife up here myself, even ****ed up a huge amount of it and still managed to do it right.

If you are getting married and come up as a Fianc

I have no idea on your situation BUT if you are marrying a Canadian then why not go to city hall and get it done legally and then have a proper wedding when you planned to. As for a lawyer, forget it!

Simply call the Canadian immigration people and ask them. My experience is that they are helpful even pleasant, give you really good information you can actually use and don't cost a dime. With immigration I've found that it's pretty easy if you just read the information the gov't puts out and call or visit them.

When I did mine, it was a far easier process to get the Fianc

Cheryl and I are engaged (so yes, I'm marrying a Canadian). I guess we need to figure out if I go on a fiance visa, or go to the local court, get married, and then submit an application for immigration. Path of least resistance would be nice.
When you say "in country", do you mean in the US or Canada?

So lawyer may not be necessary huh... Cool.. save some $$ there. Thanks again everyone..... I appreciate it.

You apply for the visa in the US, its apparently pretty quick. If you get married here or there, she needs to start providing a lot of info like how she can support you for a period of time while you CAN'T work.

I think you can work on the fiance one.

Its a bit more painful when you're in Canada. Get real friendly with the immigration websites.

It's a LOT easier to move to Canada than the other way around. I'd say call up immigration, tell them your situation and see what they recommend. A lawyer will do it for you too but will ask for a retainer, won't guarantee you'll be successful and will give you information the immigration people will when you tell them.

There are a couple of aspects to this situation that don't exactly make it straightforward. One is that we plan to return to the States eventually, but we want to make sure his citizenship status doesn't interfere with that. Guess that would require some inquiries with the US immigration as well...Ugh what a pain.
