U.S. Citizen in Canada on Tourist Visa- easiest way to get married?

[Flames9_RN 358]

If a US citizen intends to stay in Canada beyond the allowed 6 months, and stay to apply for permanent residency, they have to first get a visitor record at the border that will allow them to remain.

Ahhh. Good to know.

Keep ur eye on Reba--she knows stuff!!

Well, I don't know much about string theory, but if anyone has any questions, I could ask James

The Canadian immigration is faster only if you apply "outland". Outland apps take about 6 months. If for some reason however you apply "inland" it'll take you about 18 months of rather frustrating and endless paperwork.

I'm hijacking here, but do you know if that's a current wait time Reba? My aforementioned Japanese friend is having a baby in June and she's "inland" and under the impression that it's only a 6 month wait. She thinks she'll be okay for health insurance in June (they filed in Jan) based on the 6 month wait time.. if not, they'll have to pay for the delivery out of their own pockets.. which are not very deep right now

Definitely not a 6 month wait. My daughter's friend married a guy from the UK a couple of years ago and they applied inland. It took 2 years for theirs to be completed.

I can't speak for others, but the "outland" immigration my wife and I went through took six months (from beginning to end) at most. Maybe it takes some people longer, but for us, it was very quick -- as far as immigration is concerned.
