Going back to Canada-giving up citizenship

[Griffon76 0]

It's with a heavy heart that I am writing here with this subject instead of questions about moving forward with citizenship with my Canadian spouse. We have pursued divorce (separated for over a year) and he has decided to move back home since family and friends are all there. Has anyone here have experience or know of any instance where the Canadian spouse moved back and is there anything paperwise that he needs to do before crossing back over the border? He does have an updated passport, we got so far as getting the green card but didn't file to remove conditions. Any advice will be appreciated.

there is a procedure to return the greencard if he wants when he departs.... otherwise he can keep it and it will simply expire on its own....

I am so sorry, Griffon.

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out.

Best of luck in your future

Sorry to hear this. I really don't know too much about this part, however he's still Canadian so it shouldn't be a problem. Tell him to see if they still have him in the Government system with his SIN card. He'd be able to work right away.

I really hope that somehow the two of you can work things out.

He would have to turn in his GC to the nearest American Consulate.

Thanks for the information all! I understand that not all relationships are going to work out and I wish we had allowed more time to get to know each other. I would not enter into the divorce decision without much thought and the fact that we stayed married but separate for twice as long as required by law, we know that it's the right thing to do. We found out that some core values were not important to the other and will walk away with some very valuable lessons. I can only look forward to the future and what it holds for the both of us, hopefully successful and happy lives!

You have a very mature attitude about this and this will bode well for you. I'm sure you will both find what you're looking for and happiness in the future. All the best!

Agreed with Carla. This is a very positive outlook on life. I wish you all the best.
