We are moving back to Canada

[Colleens 40]

We were planning on going back later in the year, but Simon lost his job yesterday and my job is crappy so we decide that we are going to move back and appy for his Canadian PR from there. We have had a pretty rough time with employment since we have been here and we will be able to stay with my parents in Canada until we get back on our feet. Hopefully we will be on our way back by the middle of May!

Sorry to see that. I wish u well.

Thank you. There is nothing to be sorry about it is a good thing. We were planning on moving back later this year anyway. There will be more opportunities for us and we will be closer to my family. We have a 1.5yr old and my family is ready to spoil her rotten!!

Congrats on the move back. Wishing you all the best. I know your family must be very excited to have you closer.

We haven't told my parents yet...we actually just decided today and they are not home!!! It is going to be a whirlwind move and we will have a lot of decisions to make in the next few weeks

I wish we could have waited until I could get my citizenship here, but with all that has happened over the past year I don't think I could take much more of this!!

That's exciting Colleens! All the best to you and your family

If you ever decided to move back to the US, I'm sure it would be easier the second time around. You know exactly what to do and what to expect.

Sounds like you guys did your best but ultimately sounds like the universe is calling you back to Canada. You gave it your best try and that's all you can do.

Good luck with the move back! Hope things go smoothly for you from here on out!

How has your experience been with your American hubby emigrating to Canada? I've heard a number of different things from various people.. some say the Canadian citizen can basically just show up at the border with their US citizen spouse and tell them that the spouse would like to apply for perm. residence, and others have told me the spouse has to wait in their country to residence and that it usually takes over a year for the PR application to go through.

Just asking because it's something my husband and I are tossing around.. things in this country aren't improving, and I miss home and he loves Alberta.

Thoughts?
