I first discovered this website about 12 years ago when I was under k1 visa and moving to the USA etc etc. My wife and I were throwing around the idea of moving back to Canada for a variety of reasons. Was wondering if there was a comparable website like this step by step guide for Canadian immigration for my wife. I know my son is legally Canadian because of me, but also need to do the paperwork for that too.

i cant check from work, but there was 1 called road to canada..something like that at least.

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

We're in the same boat-after living in the USA for 7 years my husband and I are looking at moving back to Canada and need to apply for his citizenship. Did you find anything helpful online? We attempted to fill out the paperwork for his residency but it was geared to situations where the the citizen was residing in Canada and looking to bring their spouse over. We would like to go through the process while living together in the US and moving after he can legally work etc. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

I would second CanadaVisa.com. Keep in mind though, while most US immigrants are petitioned by their family members, most Canadian immigration discussions center around the skilled worker category (and indeed, most Canadian immigrants are of the self-petition skilled worker kind).

Canadian citizens (but not permanent residents) can sponsor their spouses while living overseas, you would just have to show that you have a plan to relocate to Canada once your spouse is granted permanent residency

 

You would find the following link helpful

Thank you for the link! It sadly took me until today to figure out how to open the link on my new computer-don't ask. Do you know where I can find more information on what is necessary and when in order to adequately prove that we will relocate if my husband receives permanent residency?
