Hello,

I am a US Citizen intending to marry my fiance who is a Canadian Citizen (born and lives there) in November 2011. My plan is to move to Canada with my new husband after our wedding in November. We are assuming that the Spousal Sponsorship is the best route. But I'm posting this here to see if anyone out there has some advice in my situation. I need to know if the spouse sponsorship is the best route to take, and if so, once we send off the application, will I be able to move to Canada after our wedding, or will I have to wait till everything is approved? I've been told that I can just go to Canada on a Visitor Record and come back to the States every 6 months until my application is approved. I would like to hear some stories from anyone out there who has been through this before.

Thanks!

Sarlah

My husband and I have looked into this as well but I have to tell you this is not a site that has any info on going to Canada - try www.canadavisa.com they have loads of info on how to file the required Canadian immigration docs. I'll admit it looks a lot easier than coming to the USA but it does take longer.

Try that site and best wishes!

It works the same way as american.

You marry you file and you wait. You can visit if the CBP lets you through.

This website is for immigration to the US not to canada. If you want links for immigration to canada you can find a few in the Canada section of VJ. Go to forums > regional > Canada.

Take a look at the pinned topics.
