Hi,

I was wondering if there are any good forums like this one that has info on the procedure of immigrating TO Canada. My husband and I are thinking of moving back there but he now has to become a resident of Canada...

Thanks for any help.

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

So glad you posted this. In a few years we'll be moving back too.

See profile for our K-1 Visa/AOS story from 2010-2011Apparently we love USCIS/NVC so much we left and are doing it again! This time giving IR-1 a whirl. Rock on immigrators.

07/09/2014 sent in IR-1 packet to Chicago Lockbox

07/16/2014 NOA1

07/17/2014 check cashed by USCIS

10/01/2014 found out we are expecting baby #2 June 2015!

12/15/2014 NOA2

12/30/2014 Case received by NVC

03/23/2015 Received Case and Inv # from NVC after many calls and bogus excuses.

03/24/2015 AOS payment accepted by NVC

04/09/2015 IV payment finally accepted by NVC after the set the wrong fee and took weeks to correct it.

*many more delays thanks to the agency processing my fingers prints to the RCMP and the post office losing our mail*

05/20/2015 Packet sent to NVC via UPS, eta May 28.

06/16/2015 Baby #2 due - homebirth in Scottsdale, AZ

I am a US citizen who applied to immigrate to Canada after marrying my Canadian citizen husband in 2006. Because of all the confusion I encountered about the process, I created a website specifically to help US citizen spousal/common-law applicants who want to immigrate to Canada. You can find it at www.us2canada.com I'm going to be around here at VisaJourney a lot now because we are actually looking into me sponsoring my husband and his son to the States, so if anyone have any specific questions about Canadian immigration, I'm happy to be a resident expert. I've been immersed in this stuff for the past 4 years, so have a pretty good handle on how it all works - especially the complications. Would be happy to help anyone. Just PM me through the site, or you can reach me on the RoadToCanada discussion forum that was linked to earlier. I'm an administrator there. Cheers!
