I am a Canadian Citizen and US Resident(Green Card) working in US. My wife and Daughter are US Citizens. I was wondering how would I go about getting Canadian PR/Citizenship for my wife and daughter? I know I need to sponser them but Can I sponser them while I live and work in US? I want to do this now so we have the option to move to Canada sometime in future and my wife to be able to work right away rather than having to wait to go through sponsership. Thanks.

Yes you can do the process while you are living in the states.

www.roadtocana.com is a better resource for your needs.

Your child can easily be granted citizenship based on the fact one of her parents is a Canadian citizen. Your wife would have to become a PR. Guidelines are here.

But I do believe you have to eventually live there!! Yes if you fathered the kids, they will be Cdn citizens! But a different story for your spouse!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

You can apply for sponsorship/PR from the US however once you are approved you will be expected to return to Canada. I think you usually have about 30 days once you get your passport back from CIC to "land". In the sponsorship application it will ask to provide proof of your intent to return to Canada with things like a lease agreement, home purchase or job offer. If you want to eventually move back to Canada, you will have to wait and apply at that time. It seems to take 6-12 months from application to approval for most straight forward well prepared cases.
