Canadian Marry Us Citizen

It took over a year just to get approved for a work permit while waiting for the rest of the application to be processed. My experience with a TN visa is as a Canadian working picture of a swiss chalet in the US. (She's just graduated from undergrad and is certified to teach).

Also, I believe she would have to get landed immigrant status first and then become a citizen second, much like you have to get a green card first in the US. but I don't have a $1000 bucks to spend right off hand since most lawyers charge. As sure as the sun rises in the East, if you and your wife present yourself as husband and wife at the border going *into* the US, your wife will be denied entry without a spouse's visa.

I am going to canada to marry her. That was the only rational I could come up with for the reckless shenanigans I was getting away with. I also had a scare crossing back into the US for a north american auto show detroit vacation and then trying to come back into Canada, claiming to be a visitor, but actually living in Canada. What you did is exactly what I needed. Basically you need a letter from them saying that they coulud not find a qualified Canadian for the job, and they would like to hire you. All done! posted by transient at 8:24 AM on June 2 A TN visa is dead easy to get (if she has a university degree and is qualified for a profession on the TN list).

Three years later, you can get citizenship.

However, I know Europeans who have moved to Canada on a visitor's visa then got a job where the employer was willing to go through the HRDC (Human Resources Development Canada) legal work to employ them which is essentially proving that no qualified Canadian is available to do the job. Thus, she must exit the country before getting the wife visa status (whatever that is). The Canadian gov't was nothing but gracious and welcoming. gets annoyed when visitors apply to immigrate. Keep up the good work with others.
