Keeping my Canadian job

[pushbrk 12,883]

but you do, you live and work in Canada, and visit the USA. No laws against that. Alot of people have homes in multiple countries. Ive met Americans who spend 6 months in the USA and have another home in Mexico where they spend 6 months. Why would what 1 person says dicate your life decisions ? I have a friend right now heading to his home country for 5 months . . . so Im not seeing how your above answer is really applicable

You're right. Lots of Canadians own homes in the USA and live here half time with no problems. This ONLY works IF they desire to maintain two residences. Most folks can't afford that. So, they pick a country. A US LPR can certainly commute to their job in Canada if they find it practical. Detroit Metro to Windsor is quite practical.

I said it because it is not that simple, intent to immigrate will always be there. They can be under more scrutiny then spouses vacationing together in another country. Having spouses in 2 different countries each having a permanent address, jobs, etc. You would think it would be the same thing but it is not. They are living with each other not vacationing like many ppl do with their vacation homes. They would not be going on vacation together one spouse would still be working and the other one would be doing what ever around the house not at all like a vacation. If the border thinks they are abusing the system they will stop it. Yes only 1 person posted on here, doesn't mean it hasn't happen more then once.

Thanks for all your help guys! We just visited a Detroit attorney who told us that we should get married civilly and then apply for the IR1/CR1 immediately afterwards. This would mean getting married in October in the USA. He says that I shouldn't have an issue crossing the border when I want to visit my (future) husband or shop. Any thoughts??

Sounds pretty much like what I told you in post 7 of this thread.

Thanks for all your help guys. Looks like we'll be tying the knot sooner than I thought, in October rather than in January, but the important thing is that we're going to be able to live together. I know that I'm luckier than most as I can see my fiance three times a week (we're an hour apart) but it will be just so good to not worry about visas.
