Immigration to Canada Questions -
Hi
David,
I was doing some searching on the internet and saw
your reply to a questions with this email address.
I was wondering if you can help me
too.
My boyfriend (a Canadian Citizen) and I (a United
States Citizen) are talking about getting engaged. We want to have the
wedding in the United States, but after marriage, I will be moving to
Canada. So, I was wondering where do I apply for a marriage certificate,
is it in the US or in Canada? And what would be the best way for
me to become a Citizen of Canada?
Please Advise.
Thank you,
Mimi

Marriage is a state or provincial regulation. You would apply for your marriage licence in
the stae or province where you want the marriage to take place. Your
newhusband will have to sponsor you to Canada and you will find the paperwork
below.
After living here fore three years as a Permanent
Resident, you can and should apply for Canadian citizenship. There ae no
disadvantages for you and you do NOT lose your US citizenship.
However, as a US citizen living in Canada, you will
have to continue to file a US return every year. GOTO www.centa.com and read the Oct 95 newsletter in
teh top left box and the US/Canada Taxation section in the second box down on
the right hand side.

would appreciate if you can tell me the process and how long would it
take.
Thanks in advance

You will have to decide on whether
to apply form within or without Canada.
Within would have her in Canada
sooner but she can not work unless she has a work visa. If she has a
university degree, she might qualify as a professional under Treaty
NAFTA.
Basically to sponsor her, you need
to fill in the following paper work. At the moment, it is likely taking up
to 22 months and is processed through Buffalo New
York
You can start the process by going to:

14. The Above PLUS a police report from your
local police station (See the guide for details) applies to those being
sponsored from the UNITED STATES. There is a separate brochure for every
country. If you are reading this and are from any other country
(Australia, Brunei, Austria, Venezuela, etc) goto
14 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/fc.html for
other country guides.
This is the self-assessment test for an individual to determine
his or her eligibility to immigrate to Canada without being sponsored by a
spouse.
I know this will help you make your decision. If we can
help you, remember, that is what we do for a living. In particular you
should goto www.centa.com
and click on and read US/Canada taxation BEFORE you
come.
